Going Solo: Starting Your Own Design Studio by Studio Bottes. This is a great video with excellent advice for any creative. A lot of it is stuff you already know, and stuff you should already know.

Le Creative Sweatshop
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this very interesting studio is based somewhere in France. Reminds me of the work or Romain Lenacker, who if I’m not mistaken is also based in France. Maybe it’s a trend, maybe it’s not but the whole DIY design really intrigues me.
More ranting after the jump…
Hvass&Hannibal
Thank you Grain Edit for reminding me of one of my favorite studios! Hvass&Hannibal is a very very talented studio based in Copenhagen and honestly, they do everything. Print, digital (duh), 3D installations, set designs (most notably for Efterklang’s DVD). Their style is very geometric and they use a variety of colors. Their intricate and meticulously designed works suggest an air of carelessness and beauty in randomness

Charles S. Anderson
Everything about Minneapolis based Charles S. Anderson evokes good times and better days. Charles is the man behind the identity and all design work coming out of the French Paper Co. With clients such as French Paper, Target, Fossil and Sony you can be rest assured that Charles is a busy man.

Christopher Brand
New York based Christopher Brand is probably one of my favorite designers. Though very varied in style, all of his books have a refreshing sense of simplicity no matter how many elements are actually being presented. From his cargo website, it seems that his focus is primarily on book cover design.
Check out a few samples after the jump.
Olimpia Zagnoli
Taking inspiration from all types of sources, most notably Matisse and Picasso. This Milan based illustrator creates evocative and friendly imagery that has been featured in publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post.
