this is a design firm from Europe.  One of the things that initially attracted me was that they don’t just do the standard posters…web pages…and brochures, but they also do Interior Design. I am also interested in Interior Design, not as a career move, but just for personal interest.

the website is laid out pretty simply, with every project listed at the bottom (i’m not sure i like this…i wanna see thumbnails!)

i love the design too! it all seems so differnt. They are very versatile here.

Massimo Vignelli

Massimo Vignelli 

so who better than to check out than THE graphic designers website?

I Love massimo vignelli. I love his old-man stubborness to HIS vision. In looking at his site i was like “holy shit my logo looks like his” right when i got to the home page.

I seriouslly didn’t even see this before i made my logo.

I’m actually flattered at how simmilar they are.

oh and i have the stindig calendar and love it it takes up a whole wall on my apartment!

DOKKIA—Creative Solutions

another chicago studio. The navigation on this site is differnt than any other site i’ve seen. It’s very organized but something about it is just difficult to use.

Duffy Design Works

http://www.duffworks.com/home.php 

This is a firm in chicago,(oakbrook) but the firm seems smaller.  The site is mostly flashbased and I think the samples are too small, so sorry for the crappy resolution on the examples.

Firebelly Design

–more of my research on Chicago design firms. This firm does many huge corporate projects (budweiser, energy drinks…) to much of Chicago’s non-profit organization designs, posters, websites. I REALLY like the look of this company.

Envisionit Media

I decided to research and find a good graphic design firm from Chicago. I’m looking at Champaign vs Chicago to compare and see differenced or similarities in designers and their work.

The link above is to the portfolio website. I like this guy because he seems to do LOTS of different styles of design from the web to logos to business cards…brochures…..

I also like that this guy’s a freelance designer. That he works for himself. That you know from the creative ideas to the full execution, this guy did it all.
