These are my 3 favourite designers that I found out about during the speed dating session!

LA BOCA

Not overdone or overworked, just good ideas that are executed well. La Boca seem to have developed a niche of making retro styled artwork which looks very fresh in comparison to the amount of typically digital work about today.

BEN NEWMAN

Ben Newman is an illustrator who is part of the NoBrow Collective. He just makes things that look really good and clean. I like his 'style' although it is quite common at the moment, he creates interesting and complex graphics.

TIM ENTHOVEN

Another illustrator that does a lot of work for the New York Times, I am most impressed with this cover he has done, which he explains here: 

"In exchange for the return of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to release 1.027 Palestinian captives.

All 1.028 figures, including Gilad, are unique and drawn by hand.

This labor-intensive approach conveys an important point: that each prisoner is an individual with his or her own identity."
