It’s that time again: our weekly announcement of eight new Coroflot members who do justice to our Genius Gallery. This week’s submissions skewed towards the three-dimensional end of the spectrum, and it was especially difficult to narrow down the pool of stellar industrial designers. In the end, Matias Conti, Dave Pickett and Ding3000 made the cut, as did a young auto designer by the name of Victor Uribe Chacon (don’t worry if you didn’t make it this week; we’ll keep your name on file for future reference). A few print / graphic / packaging designers make up the balance of the group.
This week’s Genius Gallery selections also include our fourth book prize winner, Ljubomir Babic of Novi Sad, Yugoslavia. His illustrations are cartoonish in the best way possible, and even a brief glance at his 100+ image portfolio will elicit a couple (literal) laughs-out-loud.
Dave Pickett (Cleveland, Ohio) – Dave has already put together a remarkably strong ID portfolio as he enters his final year at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
Victor Uribe Chacon (Turin, Italy) – Victor is just a year older than Dave (above) and his auto design work has gotten a bit of attention on Coroflot.
Matias Conti (Beijing, China) – While many of the portfolios this week were on par with Matias’, he stood out for his awesome vehicle and action figure concepts.
Ding3000 (Hanover, Germany) – This German studio has a solid portfolio that is characterized by minimalism with a sense of playfulness and sometimes outright humor.
Lisa Llanes (New York, New York) – Lisa’s identity and collateral designs take client briefs to the next level.
David Matos (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain) – David does digipacks and he does them well.
Cassandra King (Kansas City, Missouri) – Cassandra’s graphic designs are simple yet expressive.
And to those of you who (you know who are): our selection criteria ranges from clean presentation to accurate information to editing (i.e. what you choose to omit is as important as what you choose to include). That said, we like to see enough work to demonstrate that you know what you’re doing in your creative discipline of choice… though it’s worth reiterating that a handful of well-organized projects typically goes further than a disorganized pile of images. So whether it’s your first time or your fifth time, submit your portfolio today!
