Design:
-
Stefan Sagmeister (USA) was last featured in issue #339 of The Graphis Journal and has since then mastered the work/life balance; when he’s not creating exhibits and publishing books, he’s taking a sabbatical to discover his next big idea.

Paul Garbett (AU) explains how design is an act of optimism that he uses to envision and realize a better future, whether he’s working on signage and wayfinding projects or collaborating with art galleries and exhibitions.
Advertising:
-
Ariel Freaner (USA) of Freaner Creative & Design was inspired to enter the art field after seeing Star Wars and various Steven Spielberg films and now makes attention-grabbing ads for the likes of Bill Melendez Productions, Fujitsu Ten, Calimax, and the Red Cross.
Photography:
-
To Stan Musilek (USA), women and feminine beauty are the main motivators behind his photography, as seen in his glamorous model shots and tasteful nudes.
-
From shooting locals playing pickup sports to focusing on the unsung heroes trying to solve the climate crisis, Eric Melzer (USA) shoots a wide range of subjects yet always keeps people at the center of his work.
Art/Illustration:
-
The illustrations of Mark Braught (USA) are simply magical—just look at his work for the Harry Potter series. When he’s not bringing stories to life for books or editorials, he runs his own design firm, UP-Ideas, with his work partner Roger Sawhill.
