Lucia Bustamante designing diversity
Lucia Bustamante is a Graphic and UI UX Designer as well as Art Director for Nórdico Estudio in Montevideo, Uruguay — her work spans across technique and method from icon design to advertising layout and branding. Lucia writes :
It took me years to define my portfolio. At first, my portfolio page was more like a cv, with almost all the attention in what I had studied, or my work experience. I designed some portfolio websites, as a complement to my cv, nowadays, I can get a job by only sending my web portfolio, and nobody asks for my cv.

Karina Mosqueda
Karina writes : I’m a little artist, a little design, a little paint, a little direct, a little animate, a little chaos, a little collectors, a little without words, a little rebellious, a little traveling, a little creative, a little draw and dream.
We believe that’s accurate! Much of her work is trend-setting, and much is just simply astounding. See her large body of works in her Behance installation, as well as www.machuca.com.mx Karina Mosqueda on Behance Here is a more complete sampler
TypeTalk: Most Notable Fonts of 2015
This is not your typical Pakistani replicator site just trying to get hits… this is our friend, Ilene Strizver, founder of The Type Studio, typographic consultant, designer, writer and educator — unlike the replicator sites, she not only picks’em, but SHE can tell you WHY!
Does the world need more typefaces? That is akin to asking if we need more shoes, recipes, or even music! We have plenty to go around, but the continuous demand for something new, fresh, and visually expressive will never disappear. So the answer is, of course we need (and want) more typefaces!
