Kashiwa Sato

Here’s your inspirational/make-ya-wanna-work-it-harder post of the day: Kashiwa Sato, a graphic designer, art director, author and all-around creative mastermind, has one of the best portfolio sites I’ve ever seen. Simple, easy to navigate, and completely organized, Kashiwa’s site does just what it should do: impress without intimidating and excite without overwhelming. Additionally, his portfolio itself is equally incredible, with a hugely diverse grouping of work spanning through classic identity development all the way through creative direction of some very non-traditional bars and schools. I’m not going to get into listing his clients, because I think a simpler way to say it is “the kind you get when you get everyone you want,” but do be sure to check out the Fuji Kindergarten and the work he did with Issey Miyake, which, when viewed side-by-side, are great examples of Mr. Sato’s diverse skill.
