A couple of posts back I  bloviated on my love for magazines. Much like the internets where you can find something amazing everyday in the fields of design, illustration, architecture, (not to mention videos of morons risking life and limb for their 15 seconds of fame) being old skool I still find amazing things via magazines. Thanks to picking up Guilt and Pleasure Magazine, I now know about the designers and illustrators at Nove Studio. Wonderfully smart, witty, and highly engaging design and illustration from the Toronto based duo of Anne and Marco Cibola. Color me jealous. I absolutely love their work. On the left, is a detail from a beautiful chart for the aforementioned magazine and on the right side is an illustration to be used on a messenger bag. Similar to what you’ll find at their site, a seemingly clear delineation of design and illustration, but on closer inspection the crossover of the two disciplines, design/illustration, illustration/design is what makes the work so beautiful to behold.
