  • Pica Press
    @pica_press
    Born and raised in New Mexico, the land of enchantment, I have spent most of my life absorbing the uniqueness of the desert and its breathtaking blue skies. Wrapped up in the landscape I found a continuous source of inspiration for my design. This inspiration began to surface in different forms after living elsewhere in the west: Oregon for design school, Colorado in the years following college, and where I now reside in Corona del Mar, California. The landscapes, the people, the different cultures have all been influential elements to my design process. Each locale has lent its unique geographic fingerprint to my work. Through my travels, my work, and my play, one enduring theme flows -- beauty is in the small details and simplicity is always best. I find it everywhere: when photographing, running, traveling, spending time with my friends and family. My creative process stems from my extensive collection of what I refer to as “specimens”, or creative treasures -- found objects, patterns, maps, vintage wallpaper, typography, antique books, flea market finds, hand-written postcards...the list goes on. Pica Press is the culmination of these influences leading to unique, graphic design products including custom stationery, invitations, business branding, photography and more.
  • Bold & Noble
    @bold_noble
    Bold & Noble is a design collective founded by Jane Tobitt and David Wardle. After twelve years of designing bespoke items for clients, we thought we’d put our skills to work creating affordable designs for peoples’ homes. Artworks that are kind to the environment too, they’re all printed on recycled card and sent out in eco cardboard tubes. When David isn’t creating new artworks for Bold & Noble, he is running DesignedbyDavid — a company specialising in design, illustration and typography for publishing. He also runs a pretty quick 10km too (29:42 to be precise) and has represented England over that distance. Jane has over a decade of commercial experience under her belt. She has created bespoke design solutions for clients in both public and private sectors — London College of Fashion, The Man Booker Prize, Transport for London, Royal Mail, British Film Institute (BFI), and the British Red Cross. She is also Mum to Wilf and runs the day to day operations at Bold & Noble. Collectively, our work has been featured internationally in the design & interiors press (Creative Review, Living etc, Elle Decoration, The Observer, Times Style magazine… to name but a few!) and we’ve won industry awards. But most importantly we love being creative with words and pictures. If you want to know more, please feel free to ask.
  • Nikki Farquharson
    @nikki_farquharson
    Hello! I'm a 24 year old freelancer based in London, England.I love colour, pattern, shapes, communincation and typography. Pens, pencils and paper are my favourite and primary medium. I also run a colourful project at: www.randomgotbeautiful.com. How would you sum up your work?My work tends to end up in a variety of outcomes as I like to showcase different ideas. They can vary from being quite simple to massively detailed. A heavy focus randomly shifts between colour, pattern and typography. I also have a passion for creating books about language and communication, in which I design and occasionally bind my own. How did you become a designer/illustrator?I've always been interested in visual messages and communication. I chose to study graphic design and ended up studying that subject for a total of six years. My degree course focused a lot on graphic and conceptual design and ideas. This was really helpful to me, but simultaneously I wanted something different so I started to draw. I found myself mostly drawing shapes and patterns. I decided to take illustration more seriously after I graduated. What is your mixed media work about?Mixed Media Girls are experimental works combining found imagery with personal illustration. A mixed media girl illustration is initially inspired by the original photograph. I change the girl's surroundings by including abstract details in bright colours and meticulous patterns. The final outcome is often playful and eclectic. I personally see the girl as either a prop to the pattern or just part of the canvas. I have always loved creating detail with lines, patterns and shapes. But later, I decided to add girls to put the patterns into context. Sometimes it is viewed as the other way round but I don't mind that. Creating mixed media work for clients is slightly different. The illustration should be secondary to the real imagery. I try to enhance the photography rather than drown it out. Describe your other work in more detail?My books are very simple conceptual ideas referring to language and communication. I'm interested in how we interact with one another and how different people have a natural and mutual understanding on simple common things. I'm always thinking about 'the next book' and like to create a series that would become available to purchase in the future. The typographic illustrations are like a bridge between my books and my abstract illustrations. I love type so I try to make it fun, playful and visually interesting, to me at least! Random Got Beautiful is an online public participatory site that I started while I was still at university. I have a fascination with other peoples random spontaneous photographs, and I wanted a way in which I could continually look at different ones but in one easy location. I decided that 'colour' would be a nice simple incentive to get others involved as it was creative but at the same time, didn't limit itself to only those who were "creatives". I wanted anybody to be able to take part. I jokingly refer to myself as a jack of all trades but a master of none, because I do many different things. A lot being on a trial-and-error type basis. What kinds of materials do you work with?I draw and colour by hand because I enjoy the process and prefer the results. I use pencils, fine liner pens and a lot of felt tips. Some mixed media work contain real imagery. The photography is either given to me or I get them from magazines. Most of the time they are literally cut and pasted on, but other times I'd add them using a computer program. How much time do you spend to complete an illustration?If there is no deadline then too much time. I’m the biggest procrastinator in the world! That is my worse habit. What inspires you?Almost everything. Things that I see, hear or randomly notice can trigger an idea for a new book or an illustration. Seeing a lot of hard work and passion displayed by other people in various design fields (art, design, sculpture, music videos etc) also inspires me to work on what I do. What advice would you share with someone who is entering the world of art and design?I'd share advice that was recently given to me. “Be prolific.” Create a lot of work and then create some more. Getting a personal site is easier than ever now. Everything has gone digital crazy. Sending a link or a pdf portfolio to people can be the perfect catalyst to get noticed. Send your work to mags, brands, studios etc and join online design communities just to get that initial ball rolling. It’s all about letting people know you exist and then the rest will hopefully come from that.
