A rare level of consideration found in the work of these two amazing designers. The amount of clarity in their output as it relates to their intent is a true blend of art and design. The projects overarching goal to be commercially successful is also mentioned mentioned when so many designers leave this out of their descriptions. Kim and Sam don’t flinch to show when it worked and when it doesn’t. Their talent for conceptual development and design communication is so refined is everything they create. But it’s their transparency and humility that seals the deal, best work I’ve come across to date. My new go-to ID bible.
