Melvin Galapon – Uniqlo – Future Now
Melvin Galalpon designed a T-shirt for Uniqlo’s pop-up shop at Tate Modern
The design is inspired by a mix of pixels, old technologies such as CRT televisions, sci-Fi files and 80/90’s video games. The piece tries to capture this playfulness while also trying to transport one to the future.

Andreea Dumuta – Love at First Bite
This personal piece draws from vintage horror posters, baroque ornamentation, and mid-century pulp covers.
Andreea writes that “the style of this piece sits somewhere between ecclesiastical and camp, using saturated jewel tones and textured halftones to evoke an aged, print like feel. It’s a love letter to old horror and the beauty of excess. The series as a whole is blending vintage design and surreal humour with a modern twist. I love bold shapes, grainy textures, and that perfectly imperfect print look”.

The Kidnapping – TIME Magazine – Simon Prades
Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine
Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine. The cover feature is about the fate of kidnapped Ukrainian children and how that has been pushed to the edges of the peace process, intensifying fears across the country that they may never come home. The longer they remain in Russia, the more difficult it will be to return and reintegrate them, as the effect of Russian propaganda and indoctrination takes hold over time.
