Part lovely, part emotive these illustrations by UK-based artist and illustrator Ismay Ozga are sketchy pencil renderings of lovely ladies with bold details and splashes of spot color.

I love the dashes of geometric and abstract shapes sprinkled in with the realistic drawings, many of which were drawn from photographs and models.

Previously, I shared Kenneth Jansson's student portfolio collection of Handmade Design Posters. Recently, the New-York based, Swedish designer wrote over to share some of his print work, which is bold, bright and includes some nice type. He was kind enough to answer a few questions to share with you, lovely readers.

I enjoy when designers seem to effortlessly compile their years work into upbeat and seamless musical portfolio reels. I'm not sure how others feel about the trend, but I think the short videos are a nice way to glimpse the designer's aesthetic through their clips, compilation and the music they choose.

One such example is Takuya Hosogane, whose 2011 reel has a nice variety of design with a working beat, and I feel like I get to know the designer a bit when watching the clip.

Tim Belonax is an MFA candidate in the Graphic Design program at the California Institute of the Arts. His current site shows a sampling of his graduate work, and another site is in production to host his portfolio of professional work. Stay tuned: tomorrow I'll be sharing some Q&A with Tim (read the interview), along with awesome work from his student portfolio.
