You are most like­ly no stranger to the illus­tra­tions of Mat­te Stephens. He has worked for many large clients, includ­ing Her­man Miller, NPR, and Chron­i­cle Books. A fan of vin­tage-esque illus­tra­tions, I am cap­ti­vat­ed by his mut­ed palette, live­ly scenes, and knack for design. I am impressed that Mat­te uses col­ors that can become so eas­i­ly mud­dled — but I don’t think that they are. The col­or adds to his aes­thet­ic of a flat­tened space, sup­port­ed by bold shape design and crisp lines.
