With a style akin to both illustration and graphic design, Brighton-graduate Verity Keniger’s work contains mounds of personality and lots of variation between pieces as well as vivacious colours.
Nice work worth keeping an eye on and look out for beautifully illustrated Oh Deer! and collage-like Comet (below).

Ed Nacional is a graphic designer who can’t live without ‘type, grids, flea markets, stoop sales, book stores, mixtapes and good food’. Unsurprisingly his work is often typography-based, studying the diversity and basics of the different forms in a variety of unexpected ways. He also works with graphic design in the more traditional sense, his portfolio being predominantly minimalistic and structured in its content.
Tie-pography, a recent project by Ed Nacional, is a typeface constructed completely of ties from various source. This unusual take on an the fundamentals is fun and interesting, with the opportunity for it to develop and grow in the future. A great project to keep an eye on.

Fun and playful portfolio from Brighton University illustration graduate Henrietta Swift. Though she is said to be an illustrator, there is quite a lot of graphic design in her portfolio along with some photography, adding a dimension to her collection.
Shown is her piece ‘Dogs’, consisting of several dog models which can be wheeled around when they need some fresh air.

Sabato Urciuoli is a graphic designer who is not afraid to explore outside of the barded-wire fence that surrounds, and limits, many forms of graphic design. Sabato experiments in many different ways with graphic design, typography, photography and even some music. One of his projects, ‘Play with paper/sound calendar’, builds music from a calendar displaying your bad days.
While Sabato is just one of the many graphic designers in a sea of talent, he is still a graphic designer who stands out, pushing his way into to the limelight with his unusual work. In my opinion, truly breath-taking work.
Shown is Typediagrama, a project by Sabato exploring the use of chart formats in the creation type.

We Shall See is a the portfolio of Chris Gray, British photographer and graphic designer. While Chris has quite a large mix of graphic design and photography on her website, there are a few things which I believe are important to check out. One of these is her Honk Kong photo series, a collection of photos from a trip to Hong Kong which capture the essence of daily life in the bustling city.
