the popular graphic design duo ‘non-format’ have recently updated their website. the new design features a showcase of recent work along with an archive of older pieces. there’s also a fairly comprehensive FAQ section, where you can get to know kjell ekhorn (norwegian) and jon forss (british) a little bit better – here’s a few questions answered:

when creating graphics, when is ‘eye catching’ too much?

when it distracts from the message.

when starting a new project, where do you look for inspiration?

we draw inspiration from many varied sources but we would never want to be too strongly influenced by any single designer. it’s important not to look too closely at what other designers are doing. In fact, it’s a good idea to avoid looking at all.
