Why do you like him? - There is an element of Salvador Dali in his expressive surrealist work which focuses on music design, I thoroughly enjoy looking at his work and love his exploration and execution of a pop expressive nature style.

Who are they? - NB Studios are an award winning multi-disciplinary branding and communications studio.

How did you find them? - In a book called 'Design Th!nking' by Gavin Ambrose & Paul Harris.
Why do you like them? - In the book previously mentioned, I came across a piece of branding work that originally got me interested the company. Their client (at the time of discovery) was INSEAD. I saw this piece of work and was immediately drawn to it. What I was most affected by was in actual fact a map of the world formed by leaves, I felt there was a calculated connection between the choice of a leaf and the world, symbolizing a process and the output of gathering information on a global scale and I remember just thinking wow, what depth! Upon further research I had found they work with clients in the UK and around the world to add to their repertoire and have specialties in branding, digital, campaigns and packaging which have seen them win a number awards.
