Daniel Ting Chong

Today I’m pleased to present the work of South African artist and designer Daniel Ting Chong. I’m lov­ing the chaotic, unpre­dictable qual­ity of these por­traits. For more, check out his Bēhance port­fo­lio right here.

The New Baker Identity

As some­one who is always fas­ci­nated by the process of design­ers design­ing for them­selves, this iden­tity redesign is of par­tic­u­lar inter­est to me. Design firm Baker has been around since 1981, when it began as a solo illus­tra­tion prac­tice. Since then the firm has grown tremen­dously; and 2010 brought with it the oppor­tu­nity to rede­fine them­selves, both con­cep­tu­ally and visu­ally. Not only is the result­ing design col­or­ful, play­ful and cre­ative; but the think­ing behind it was also care­fully considered.

Baker has pro­vided a wealth of infor­ma­tion and insight into the redesign through a recap and analy­sis on their blog; all of which I can­not pos­si­bly relay in this lit­tle space. So please be sure to check out their blog for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 to learn more.

Holiday Happy Hour by Dribbble

I don’t have a dribb­ble account (hint hint read­ers with extra invites :)), but it’s always fun to pop over there and catch a glimpse of what some of the design­ers I admire are work­ing on. And occa­sion­ally I’ll stum­ble upon a con­test of some sort, like the Holiday Happy Hour. Here are just a few of the rebounds that caught my eye, includ­ing the win­ners (the four shots on top), but you can see all 155 of them right here.
