—'The pieces i do in chicken-wire come from a childlike side of my imagination, what i love is creating installations as three dimensional pictures, the simplicity of this material contains the magical power of transparency that is capable of giving each peace the lightness of an apparition, a ghost like quality, like a trace from memory.'

Though this is one of the paper toys of David Brownings, I can't help to think that this could also fit as a personal card for a two people company. Just write the names on the bottom and you'll always be within hand's reach.

Mind Design is an independent graphic design studio based in East London. The studio has been founded by Holger Jacobs in 1998 after graduating from the Royal College of Art. "We believe in practical, applied and friendly design solutions. Our approach is design led, not marketing driven. We see content and form as equally important and belive that both are inseparable. Beside a passion for typography we are very interested in integral design solutions that combine corporate identity, print, web and interior design. It is important for us to work in close collaboration with clients and be involved in projects right from the start. We treat every project as a new challenge and never impose an already established graphic house style."

Interviews:

—"All my work is produced digitally, but before I go near the computer I start doodling ideas and compositions in an A5 sketchbook with a pencil or biro. These are very quick and throwaway. Once I worked out the rough idea and composition & gathered any visual reference I might need, I work on a larger finished pencil drawing, which I then use as a guide for drawing the final artwork with a graphics tablet in Adobe Illustrator. For me it’s important to keep the hands on feel with my work, despite producing the final artwork on the computer. At the end of the day the computer should just be seen another way of making a mark on a page."—Interviewed by Sprayblog.

—"I often get mentioned as being pixel art because of the isometric perspective of lots of my work, even though it’s all vector based."
—After having been asked for advice: "Maintain control over your Copyright in your Illustrations. There are very few occasions that clients need to own the Copyright in your work. Your body of work is your livelihood, and you should be entitled to the financial benefits of your talent and hard work."—Interviewed by Sixcrayons.
