As Designer for ZUMA Press I get to work on something called zReportage each week. zReportage presents Photographic essays about people from all over world focusing on material that is sadly often overlooked in the mainstream media. I am constantly amazed at the ability our photographers have as story tellers , and find that in working on them each week I learn something new. I strongly urge any readers of this blog to check it out, and not just because I work for them but because zReportage is an excellent source of information about the world around us!

Portfolio Crawl: Kashiwa Sato

Kashiwa Sato’s Web Portfolio is borderline insane due to it’s many moving parts but stops short of making you click away. Perhaps it’s the seemingly endless array of projects to explore and be inspired by. Truly amazing!

Portfolio Crawl: Graphic Designer Simon Page

Graphic Designer Simon Page describes himself as a “…designer, developer and all round gadget loving technophile.”
After looking at a bunch of his work via the BEHANCE Network, I am gonna go ahead and ad crazy genius to his list of titles, because his type stuff is crazy fun to look at. Also worth the trip, are his textures that he creates using simple shapes and lots of layers. Mmmmmmm, layers.
