“I quite like cramming as much detail as I can into it,” says Sam Wagstaff, a Manchester School of Art graduate who works in a distinctive graphic novel style of illustration. It’s an approach that particularly suits city scenes, or imagery of boats, trains or clusters of buildings – all of which allow Wagstaff to incorporate minute hints of narrative.

Tokyo-based studio Goo Choki Par is made up of three graphic designers: Q Asaba, Kent Iitaka, and Rei Ishii, and the trio regularly work on a range of projects from art direction to brand identities, digital artworks to poster design. The work is split equally and the aim of most of their projects is to visually express something in a new way. “The goal is not to create planned harmony, but to create colour-matching shapes that the three of us did not anticipate,” says Iitaka.

Molly Jones’ illustrations have the cheeky energy of a retro cartoon strip. Her loose lines, goofy yet expressive characters and trippy scenes make for an irreverent illustration style, often topped with playfully grotesque or childlike touches. Look a little closer though and there are references aplenty that bring her work right up to date, namely in her pieces that illuminate the often sticky, chaotic aspects of the Gen Z experience.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

It wasn’t until an accident involving a head injury that Rao-Middleton would be reintroduced to her creative side. Unable to work for six months, painting became an escape, she says. “Symptoms like light sensitivity meant I couldn’t use my phone or laptop
