#ILoveTheseGuys Creative Inspiration: Stella Shih

Shillington students from around the world share the work of creatives who inspire them in the #ILoveTheseGuys series. In this post, New York graduate LiSun Francisco highlights projects from the Taiwan based designer Stella Shih.

Stella Shih is an independent, freelance graphic designer. She designs on multiple platforms including branding, print design, packaging and product design. I love Shih’s work because it maintains a light, often playful tone in its execution, but is meticulous in its fundamental design, using grids and circles, creating a clean composition. Shih is especially conscious of connecting the essence of the brand to the work, using key typographic elements and stark imagery to facilitate cohesion.

Legend Fun Board Game Store

“This project was executed for a store specializing in selling board games located in the Shilin District of Taipei. The conceptual theme of a “table” was used as the guiding principle in the overall store design.”
