Mohamed Samir's isometric illustrations reveal how any design studio tackles any brief

Designer Mohamed Samir has just released this collection of isometric illustrations that shows all the different aspects any creative studio might look at while dealing with a design brief.

Collection of colourful isometric notebook covers featuring retro '90s design elements including vintage technology, acid house smiley faces and bold typography

From research and strategy, resourcing and communication to innovation, finance and design – these intricate digital drawings are bursting with a retro-feel colour palette with little nods to '90s culture and bold typography throughout. We especially like the acid house smiley faces and vintage technology that makes the whole project feel warm and nostalgic.

It's just one of the many side projects that the Singapore-based creative puts out there, demonstrating his breadth of skills. Much of his work has been recognised by the industry. He's won numerous awards including a D&AD pencil, two Cannes Lions and also two gold pencils at The One Show Awards in the States, along with six prizes at the Lynx Awards. He's currently a Senior Product Designer at Apple and has previously worked for Fabrique in the Netherlands and BBDO in UAE.
