Omnivorous is the design collective of Alice Chung and Karen Hsu that is filled with tons of delicious work. There is not a lot of information about the design collective on their website, however, they do provide viewers with a variety of design pieces. It’s interesting how they don’t have one distinctive design style. Very refreshing. I enjoy how they mold their design style based on the design concept for each individual project. Good job girls!
Qian Qian is a designer, illustrator, and art director from China who now resides in New York City. He studied digital media design from the University of Edinburgh and taught graphic design at Missouri State University. What I really enjoy about his work is his ability to combine his Asian background with his European design education. Lovely. I’m always inspired with design that is influenced by culture. But then again…isn’t all design influenced by culture?
Brad Surcey has some superb packaging designs in his portfolio. If I saw these products in stores, I’d purchase them just because the packaging was pretty! He has some lovely logo/stationery systems, too.

Granada Design’s latest canvas prints, entitled Cities, are simple and modern.
AIGA is inviting designers from all across the US to design nonpartisan posters that help to inspire the American public to participate in the 2008 election. In 2004, The Get Out the Vote design for democracy initiative printed and posted 50,000 AIGA posters all around the United States. The 2008 Get Out The Vote initiative will build upon these similar efforts.
By motivating eligible individuals to register and turn out on election day, Get Out the Vote fulfills an ongoing AIGA objective of demonstrating the value of design to the public, public officials and business by providing a clear call to action for an activity that is important to everyone. -AIGA
