For Platform, a new nonprofit organization and conference dedicated to increasing entrepreneurial diversity, Eddie Opara has created a technological identity that showcases difference in its own customizable wordmark. The project was recently featured on Fast Company’s Co.Design.

For the seventh year running, Domenic Lippa and his team designed the identity and all visual materials for the London Design Festival. To support this year’s festival theme (Here, There and Everywhere), Lippa created graphic boxes that act as windows onto the many applications of design in our lives.

Since 2006, Daniel Weil has worked with Juri Dojc on Dojc’s haunting photographic exhibition that captures what remains of the once-vibrant Jewish culture of pre-war Slovakia. For the latest incarnation of the exhibition, Weil has designed a space in a synagogue in Kosice, one of the subjects of the photographs.
