dal bello
brazilian born designer ‘rejane dal bello’ was a new name to me, her work on the other hand has been posted on this blog several times in the past few years, she is currently a senior designer at ‘studio dumbar’ and responsible for a great deal of the projects they have made in the past five/six years, including the beautiful ‘amsterdam sinfonietta’ poster series
her work shows a great diversity of styles and a strong grasp of vivid colour use and expressive (illustrative) typography techniques, very impressive, see more of her portfolio here
analogue retouching
talking of arab spring…. very strange this one: the annual ‘world press’ exhibition poster features a gruesomely disfigured young arab woman this year, designer ‘franklin de bekker’ discovered that one of the posters hanging in amsterdam had actually been hand-retouched by somebody using paint to replace her missing nose… wow
