Written By Guest User

The 2021 RGD Student Award Winners have been announced! We’re proud to sponsor the award for best portfolio website, and this year’s winner is EricCo.design!

Eric is a Toronto-based graphic designer who specializes in creative branding and visual storytelling. His style often incorporates modernist approaches, clean lines, and simple geometry. The clean, minimal design of his site reflects his forward-thinking style while allowing his colorful, detailed portfolio to take center stage.

Each example in his portfolio features helpful context and background information. It’s always enlightening to gain insight into a designer’s decision-making process, and Eric’s portfolio does a great job telling the story of each project.

Congratulations to Eric Co for winning the category!

Musho.design is the personal portfolio of Michal Simkovic, a digital designer focused on UI design for mobile and web apps.

“Design in general should be a solution to a problem,” says Michal. “Ideally the best design is ‘just enough’ design: like music in a movie, it perfectly matches the story, so you don’t even notice it’s there.”

With this in mind, buying the URL musho.design and redirecting all his other domains to it was a natural decision. As he explains: “It’s a great match with my profession. Compared to .com it’s longer, but more human.”
