Anna Beil’s work plays around with the dynamic between the strange and the familiar: it’s very, very weird, which is what makes it so wonderful. Based in Berlin, she first studied Communication Design at FH Potsdam near Berlin, graduating in 2017. During her course, she focused mostly on illustration and…
Jinu Hong is a graphic designer, art director and video creator originally from Seoul in Korea, but currently based in New York. Having originally studied architecture, he moved to the US to study at the prestigious MFA graphic design course at Yale School of Art. He currently teaches at Parsons…
Post Typography is not, as you might expect, a type foundry; nor is it “post” lettering (it uses a lot of it, in fact, in work across print, digital and conceptual design)—it’s a creative studio that we’ve long admired. There’s a hell of a lot of thought behind what the…
Parisian studio and type foundry Violaine & Jérémy was founded by the eponymous Violaine Orsoni and Jérémy Schneider in 2012 when Schneider had just graduated, and Orsoni left behind a job as head of production in an advertising agency. Since then, the pair have developed a gorgeously distinctive look across…
Like many people, there came a time in Ben Greengrass’ career where he felt a little disillusioned: at best, he really fancied a change, at worst, he was concerned that the branding and packaging work he’d been doing for the likes of Umbro, Unilever and Heineken maybe didn’t matter too…
It’s hard not to be into Ben Eli’s work, with its unashamedly poppy, internet culture aesthetics, bright colours and bold type; and it’s hard not to like the person behind it once you hear them gushing about both Dolly Parton and Madonna’s Ray of Light album. “It’s probably a tie…
Parasto Backman’s work has long stood out for its roots in disrupting what we’d expect of “typical” Swedish design: out with minimalism, in with challenging the western perceptions of what “good” design is, and should be. Backman, who teaches as Senior Lecturer at the Master Program in Visual Communication at…
For a little joy and colour in a world that can, at this point, feel relentlessly gloomy and grey, you could do far worse than to cast your eyes over Jumbo Press’s website. The press, which specialises in riso-printing, began life in Deptford, south east London, and has since moved…
It’s hard not to love Rosa Kusabbi’s work, and her attitude: first, we were taken with the cursor on her website (just go there if you haven’t already, and point at things); then, we were even more taken by the fact her dissertation pieces were animations of a duo of…
For many people working in the creative industries, the pandemic has been a time of uncertainty; and for just as many, a time to actually have a think about what you do for a living and why. Without things like pints in public places, and community, there’s been more time…
Born in Ohio and now based in Boston, Massachusetts after a near-decade in New York, Caleb Halter is, like many designers, someone whose creativity isn’t just manifested visually. Since around 2018, he’s been making music under the alias Feral. “Caleb means dog, so it’s something along those lines,” Halter explains…
It feels as though Swedish illustrator Alva Skog has been a name ever since graduating in 2018. Their work is both distinctive—strangely proportioned limbs, often huge hands, simple but expressive black line facial features—and beautifully mutable. As such, Skog’s work is a dream for projects like editorial illustration (their client…
Like so many illustrators and designers, it was music that shunted art as a hobby into art as a career for Tom Kariv. However, unlike so many, he’s since worked with the likes of Major Lazer, Chronixx, Walshy Fire, Lil Dicky, Stones Throw Records, Raw Tapes Records and Guns n…
Beavertown Brewery, a long-standing pal of People of Print, has proven itself to be a bastion of brilliant offbeat design, intricate illustration and popping colours (as well as very very tasty beer) since its launch around eight years ago. In a world where craft beer copycats are two a penny,…

People of Print are excited to introduce the 63rd issue of our monthly publication, Posterzine, featuring the brutally funny artwork of FOKA WOLF.
