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.

Miranda Sofroniou for The Observe

Miranda created this super fun search and find illustration for The Observer’s Easter ‘Observer’s Needed’ post. Some of the things to spot include: an Easter bonnet, a toadstool, a bumble bee, and a fried egg!

Miranda said "The brief was to create a moment for everyone, young and old, to press pause and enjoy getting lost in the details. I had so much fun making this one, building a busy scene and hiding the ten elements within it."
