Hydrafuse
"Albums and shirts. Websites and rock. That pretty much sums up Hydrafuse." That's what they say, but we think they're underselling themselves. And by "they," we mean Gregg Bernstein, who founded the freelance company in 1999, and since then has found himself creating album covers, website, t-shirts, and other graphic designs for some pretty swell bands.

The easy going folks at Stay Honest cover it all. They've got their print ads and web sites, which are all fine and good, but what is really exciting are their short films and commercials, commissioned by the likes of Diesel, Nike, the band "The Gorillaz," and more.

Bau-Da Design Lab
Bau-Da is responsible for some of the most well conceived, designed, and illustrated CD cover art the MTV generation has owned and enjoyed (sometimes making the box more interesting than the contents). 'Tis a pity the site is designed for compatibility and not in-depth exploration of product. Then again, they probably don’t need to sell to anyone; they already have just about every record label at their Xmas party. They do book art, too. Profound. Artsy. Fab.... Read more

Sebastian Chevrel
We hereby forgive Mr. Chevrel for referring to himself as a “creative technologist” –- his portfolio is a tightly orchestrated display of his programming skills and artistic ventures.
