Josè Guízar is a young Mexican graphic designer driven by curiosity and a constant desire to learn and evolve.
He currently works at NWM.
Lucha Libre is one of the most iconic symbols of Mexican popular culture, and has been exported as part of the country’s identity.
He created the concept, brand, and designed the identity and packaging for this premium Mexican craft beer.
The brand’s identity is inspired by the golden era of lucha in the 1950′s, when movie heroes were not Superman or the X Men, but El Santo and his wingmen, fighting creepy monsters on a silver ’52 Alfa Romeo with surf music in the background.

TTTTrends by Robert Wilson.
Note from the Designer:
During this project I aimed to identify, explore and challenge the continuously emulated trends showcased on the wealth of design blogs and image aggregators. Employing the visual devices of each trend, I wanted to ask why, in a community that praises originality above all else, are certain elements and styles constantly regurgitated.
A personal goal is for the images to be absorbed back into the blogosphere to sit beside the content it strives to question.
Common recognisable design traits
Just for the showing some flesh.The first project are personal illustrations for ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ poem. For this series of images, I wanted to create a different take, a different feel for a famous children’s poem.The remembered illustrations for ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ poem normally feature cutesy, bug eyed, furry creatures that are always very child friendly. However, upon reading the poem, to me, it just sounded like the owl wanted to get laid. So taking inspiration from films like, ‘American Psycho’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ I wanted to create a series images that portrayed the characters in the poem, but in a adult, sexual, taboo nature; wearing face masks and the sort.My ultimate project would probably be to design the album artwork for say, Radiohead.I share most of my work on a blog, darylrainbow.tumblr.com

I am a graphic designer by trade but I don’t consider my self niched. Much of the work I produce involves a level of craft, once off pieces photographed with minimal manipulation. I verge on the border of communication design and art direction.
