We are delighted to announce that Debut Art now represents Jordi Ros.
Jordi Ros is an illustrator, designer and academic currently based in Barcelona. Jordi has a BA in Product and Graphic Design, and an MA in Illustration from ELISAVA, Barcelona’s most prestigious and largest Design University.
Commercially, Jor has a special focus on developing concepts which brands can use to launch new products, service or engage with their audience in new and interesting ways. He is especially interested in editorial work, such as covers for different publications and books, the music industry and advertising, as well as crossing the boundaries between product and illustration.
Jordi’s commercial illustration is marked by his strong belief in developing his experimental and personal practice. He enjoys creating deep, personal narratives in what for him is a very intimate process of sharing his views and feelings on certain subjects. He is particularly influenced by the world of classic eastern animation, folklore and art, as well as spiritual and religious imagery.
His recent clients include Adidas, Nike, Vice, Bloomsbury, Random House, Virgin Atlantic, Superplastic, Devil Toys & Odooki, amongst others.
Jordi is also currently a consultant, researcher and senior lecturer on Illustration, Product Communication and Applied Design Methodologies, for both BA and MA students at his alma mater in Barcelona.

We are pleased to share packaging illustrations by artist Webb Creative for Oriente, a premium rice brand out of Portugal. Webb Creative was brought on by Firecactus Creative Director John-Paul Hunter who led the brand’s redesign. Inside the V-shaped illustration, which is actually two grains of rice coming together, are Webb’s illustrations. Each rice variant has a different scene, depicting the fifth-generation owners and moments from the business’s history. As Hunter shared with Design Week: “That illustration needed to work hard, we wanted people to see something different every time.” A further dive into the meaning of each illustration can be found on the back of the pack. You can check out details of the redesign and more of Webb Creative’s work here.

Steven Heller, a member of the Art Director Hall of Fame since 1996 and author, co-author and editor of over 200 books on design covered Grundini in his latest article for the Daily Heller. Describing Peter, Steven wrote: " [he is] an exemplar of the commedia dell’arte style of data visualization, a maestro of transforming statistics into pictorial passion plays. Icons are his meat, and they are seasoned with wit and humor, color and conviviality. They brighten up the stage, the page and the screen. They scroll with a certain rock and roll."
