Satoshi Kambayashi for PLC Magazine

Phosphor's Satoshi Kambayashi has been working with PLC Magazine (the leading monthly magazine for business lawyers) for many years, often lending his unique skills to their cover. Satoshi revels in taking a tricky brief and sending multiple options for the client to choose from. This cover was based on an article called 'Algorithmic pricing under scrutiny: managing the risks' which was about companies using software or AI tools to dynamically set or recommend prices for their products - something which can create competition law risks for companies.

Satoshi Kambayashi is known for his great ability to solve a creative problem by providing brilliant quirky solutions with a sense of humour, which is why so many magazines rely on him to interpret and conceptualise their ideas.

Léon Moh-Cah for Flo

Phosphor's Léon Moh-Cah recently completed another animation project, this time for Flo, an app which helps you track your menstrual cycle. Léon was sent the audio story of one Flo user and asked to create an animation to visualise the story, which was used on Flo's social media. The video beautifully illustrates one Flo user's unique experience of how the app helped her.

Léon Moh-Cah is a French 2D animator and sketch artist, interested in the beauty of everyday life. Her practice, mixing digital and traditional techniques, uses daily observation and travels as a main source of inspiration. After completing BAs in graphic design and animation in Paris, Léon went on to study an Animation Masters at the Royal College of Art. Léon's animations have been screened and won awards across the world and she has worked for clients such as Ted-Ed, The School of Life and The Standard Hotel.

Jhon Boy for EstarB

Jhon Boy recently created the identity and campaign for EstarB, a psychological and emotional support service for young people aged 12 to 25 launched by the Barcelona City Council.

Design studio Clase said that Jhon Boy's illustrations "capture everyday emotional moments through a simple, warm and inclusive visual language. The scenes focus on dialogue, care and connection, translating complex emotional states into approachable images that resonate with a young audience".

"The campaign extends this visual and verbal dialogue into public space across the streets of Barcelona, where the illustrations become the main vehicle to communicate the service."

Jhon Boy is the alias of Jorge Gallardo, a visual artist from Tenerife, Canary Islands. He tries to understand reality through his work, while creating a dialogue between image and viewer.

The style of his works is minimalist and clean and the most important part of Jhon Boy's process is the concept he can transmit with each scene.

Jhon Boy says: “I have always been fascinated with images, the impact they make in our lives is absolutely punishing. I prefer to create some kind scenes and exchange a dialogue between the image and the viewer, reducing everything to human values. On the other hand, my work can be understood in a lot of different ways, I prefer to let people think or see whatever they want to.”

Check out another of Jhon Boy's recent projects, creating gifs of analog crafts for It's Nice That.

Pepe Serra on Communication Through Creativity

Phosphor's Pepe Serra is a visual communicator and illustrator based in Tarragona, Catalonia.

Pepe has a deep interest in how images can shape understanding and spark emotion. "My work focuses on turning complex, abstract, or nuanced ideas into clear, striking visuals that engage the viewer both intellectually and emotionally," says Pepe, who specialises in "fast-paced digital illustration, combining clarity, boldness and a strong conceptual core".

While Pepe does have a distinct and identifiable style, often featuring long-limbed characters and a rich colour palette, the graphic communicator says he has "always been very clear that the common thread in my work isn't technique or style, but rather the concept and the idea I want to convey". Pepe says: "Illustration is simply a tool that allows us to communicate, just as we do with words".

"Over time, the technique has changed as a result of the tools I use, since professional illustration today cannot be understood without going through technological tools," Pepe told Diari de Tarronga.

Pepe regularly contributes to major international newspapers, collaborating closely with editors and art directors to meet tight deadlines without compromising depth or originality. Pepe says: "I approach every commission not just as a visual task, but as a chance to translate thought into form, helping audiences see things from a new perspective".

Alongside commissioned work, Pepe gives talks and workshops on creativity, conceptual thinking and visual communication. "I believe that illustration is not just a craft but a language — one that evolves constantly and offers endless potential for experimentation, critical reflection, and storytelling," says Pepe.
