Elena Giavaldi

I am absolutely in love with the design style of Elena Giavaldi, especially when it comes to this identity system, originally created as a template for inkd. I usually don’t support the idea of template sites, but if you’re going…

Lupen Grainne

I’m currently enjoying Lupen Grainne’s dreamy photographs of the West Coast and Hawaii. You can find more of her work in her Flickr stream, and choose from a huge selection of prints in her etsy shop.

Mike Krol

New freelancer Mike Krol has such a bold, confident portfolio. From identities, to posters and music packaging, each piece of work is striking, so it was tough to choose a project to feature here. But I’m really loving this branding…

Vincent Mathy

I’d love to step into the world of Vincent Mathy’s illustrations. Whimsical, colorful and retro-inspired; the images are slightly reminiscent of the late great Richard Scarry.

Tungsten

A new font family from HF&J, “Tungsten is a compact and sporty sans serif that’s disarming instead of pushy — not just loud, but persuasive”. I think their description—smart, tough, and sexy—is perfectly fitting. And as an aside, I absolutely…

Allison Cole

I haven’t featured a set of pattern designs in quite awhile, so I was excited to happen upon the playful work of Allison Cole. Her etsy shop, where she sells various products imprinted with her designs, is a must-see.

Braden Wise

I’ve seen some really impressive student portfolios lately, and Braden Wise is no exception. The set-up of his portfolio is clean and simple, and unlike so many others today, he includes a well-written positioning statement for each project. Perhaps it’s…

Type Love 63: Cordial Bloom

I present to you Cordial Bloom, an ornate, highly customizable display face from Veer. In addition to all of its own options, it can also be layered over Cordial Bold (bottom image) for even more possibilities. Click here to view…

Mark Pavey

Tangents, a set of four prints by Mark Pavey, began as a set of geometric doodles done in pencil. The designs were eventually developed into screen prints including three three-color prints, and one nine-color print of all the layers combined.…

Jaime van Wart

Jaime van Wart is a recent grad with a passion for typography. I first became familiar with her work through her two blogs, Sauce Bomb, which showcases both her work and the work of other designers and artists; and A…

Dan Matutina

Dan Matutina is another recent contributor to Terrible Yellow Eyes. Considering his fascination with the intersection of technology, design and science, this must have been a dream project, his love of the three disciplines clearly comes through.

Nicole Gustafsson

Nicole Gustafsson’s appreciation for nature is very much apparent through her work. Each piece honors the landscape through the attention to detail and use of color, making each subject—whether it’s a huge, sweeping forest or a small, contained terrarium—seem larger…
