This post was mentioned on Twitter by Designrss: 10 awesome graphic designers who will blow your mind http://bit.ly/9wuhU4...
my favorite is ALBERTO CERRITEÑOs work! lovely illustrations!
If by blow your mind you mean give you a headache….
Love digital art. Alberto Cerriteño’s pieces were amazing!
The first three suck IMO, too digital and obnoxiously neon.
Last one was my favorite because they don’t look like he made them on the computer.
AMAZING! Simple AMAZING! Good job on hunting these ones TCH!!!
Rule # 1 for graphic design to be effective make your point clear
Rule # 2 Illustrator is a great tool when used wisely
Rule # 3 Clutter detracts from the message
I applaud these artists as creative minds,and artists but graphic design is different….it is using artistic, creative talents to send a clear marketing message. I only see 2 illustrations that actually do this.
Guns? Meat Socks? Photoshop cut and paste? This is considered “great” work?… I’ve seen better work drawn on a napkin.
Some of these pictures are definitely mind-blowing, like the sinister dead mickey mouse picture set. But most of them are just mediocre.
I’m with Meredith on this one. These are great illustrations and photo manipulations, but I only see a couple of pieces that somewhat do what graphic design does: communicate.
Some of the people leaving comments need to get over themselves. This post was more about pushing boundaries than “communicating”. And about that, it is impossible not to communicate. You will communicate something no matter what you do. So that premise is an automatic fail to begin with.
I think some of they are good, and we can learn a litle bit with all! why dont you left the link to your folio mrs haters maybe we all learn something (or not at all), Lol. Hate frustreted people that are allways criticize everything.
Graphic Design is communication. This is more like art. Although it is amazing, not Graphic Design.
As you can see by the comments, some graphic designers who have no talent for illustration or heavy graphic manipulation are hyper-sensitive about the notion that it be considered “great design” because, well, let’s face it, it’s threatening.
Someone here also said this is more “art” than graphic design… well, as Paul Rand said, anything can be graphic and if it is graphic it has form and that form is already design; content is form, graphic design IS art. It’s art, that’s what it is.
Hear him say it himself right here:

Unless you don’t think Paul Rand knows what he’s talking about. Yeah. Maybe he’s just “mediocre,” too.
These people are showing off their skill and creativity. I’m sure they could lay out words on a page for you, too.
Lots of different styles put together. I likes it. Some of these pictures are definitely mind-blowing, like the sinister dead mickey mouse picture set. But most of them are just mediocre. Still, thumbs up for the collection as a whole.
some of these images are absolutely incredible…really inspirational
