These are seven more independent creatives I'm currently obsessed with, graphic design edition. Gerard Huerta. His hand lettering is insane. Go look at his Instagram. He's been posting his archives and it's nuts. He's designed basically every iconic logo you can think of from Tier to ACDC to HBO. How did one person do all of these things? Katie Forner. I've collaborated with her before rank she's so wonderful. Her designs are always modern, smart, and effortlessly cool. Her packaging designs are also on another level. Lizbeth Antoine, romantic. Everything she makes feels romantic. Her work for brands has the most special touches, and she also has a stationery company that I just know Wes Anderson would die for. Chris Mar Muldrow. The bespoke nature of her marks and the texture she chooses in paper and packaging are incredible. Lota Niemenen. Her work continually impresses me with its handmade textural and elevated feel. Just stunning. She also makes these super cute interactive children's books. Veronica Fuerte. She balances this bright and maximal feel with this clean and minimalist sense. And the way she chooses a color palette is just perfection. And of course, Paula Sheer. Everything she touches is just pure gold. She's an iconic designer, artist, and just one of my forever favorites. Any other cool graphic designers I should know about? Tag them below, and let me know who I should feature next.
