Luba Lukova: Social Justice

Luba Lukova Somewhere between Picasso’s wood-cut years and German Expressionism, Luba Lukova has carved a deep niche in social graphic design — one that will not be erased for decades and generations to come. The messages are stark, undeniable, and slam you right between the eyes. If you cannot own it, at least see Social Justice – Luba Lukova


Tracy Martin : Photo Folio

Tracy Martin It’s always a pleasure to visit DTG readers and their portfolios — and sometimes, maybe one out of every so many hundreds of entries, along comes one with true vision. When we looked at Tracy’s images were then frozen to the moment. Photo Folio: Tracy Martin


Lady sings Design: Nena Anderson

Nena Anderson Once in a while we find a designer who exudes talent in 360-degrees! We found Nena and not only discovered a highly sophisticated visual designer in 2-D and 3-D, but a drop-dead blues and jazz musician as well. This powerhouse lady sings print design, trade show displays and product design from mountain biking to sea-side sandals to down-town swing … it’s all about talent!
