Ryan Ragnini is a freelance graphic designer, illustrator and web developer originally from Rome, but now working in Russia. Today, we’re sharing images from his personal project Masks and the Meaning of Identity, where he explores the ‘meaning, symbolism and use of masks as a disguise in our society’.
It really is masterful and thought-provoking to see how he’s used traditional Japanese masks in this way and shown them in a different light. What a great project!

This project for Good Boy Burger and Co was a collaboration between two Brazilian creatives – designer Micael Micmas and photographer Jordy Ribeiro. We love how they’ve taken the initial brief and love of the restaurant owner (pets!) and made that the inspiration for the project.

Cuco Creative were approached by Wild England to create new branding for their range of refillable and sustainable cosmetics. And wow – the results are incredible!
Everything was thought about too – the bottles are glass and thus ‘everlasting’, the refill bottles are biodegradable and the bottle holders for the bathroom are even created from mycelium grown in specially designed moulds. Amazing!
