after yesterday's kapitza geometric book i thought i'd post the bold and colourful works of mwm graphics, aka matt w. moore. matt calls his illustration style 'vectorfunk' using his signature shapes, textures, patterns, and colours. having studied at RISD and SCAD matt now lives in portland, maine where he freelances for an impressive list of clients.
nineteen seventy three always have such cool cards - so its no suprise that their new 2008 christmas designs are in the same style, and they have been working with some great designers.
below : blossom and bill cards by sandra isaksson of isak.
i see they have also published cards by a designer ive long admired here on P+P ; olive & moss.
ive been into marks and spencer's this weekend looking at the latest cards (non christmas), all designed by tigerprint of course. i love the floral filled circle design above in metallic aubergine.
i love the cross hatched background on these beautiful holiday cards from egg press. simple but very striking.
