which dude/style/body of work you like more overall? in terms of your personal style preferences, and even your design critique on their execution and shit.

Too tough to call

Emil (the first one). They're both very good, but I think that using gradients the way Ahemas does is overkill.
- killerqueen0
Yeah this is pretty tough to call. And you all know how fond of extremes I am. They're both very decent designers. I'd say adhemas' work is a bit more interesting to me on average, but both are good designers.
- jonatne0
Both are very incredible..
Similar styles but not identical.

emilkozak is better. definitely.
- vague0
thing is... none of it is technically CRAZY.. i just more admire emil cause he's able to make a living making cute, fun, lightweight vector art.
adhemas is a little too glam-rock and doesnt have the same kinda restraint
- killerqueen0
Vague, I agree on that sentiment, but Adhemas also does more practical application stuff like ads....that is, it's not just clipart and personal projects, he has to create for a purpose of catching attention and making clients money.

Emil's the better designer in my opinion - Batista's stuff is more like art.

Emil. I heart design.

wow vague, you start some lame threads. why are you comparing these guys?
- because they're cool. just look at the stuff. it's fun because they're similar but not the sameismith
- sorry but your "because they're cool.. and it's fun" reply did not help validate this nonsense.horton
- and for the record...
Emil's dick is much bigger.horton - lol
What I mean is these were actually decent designers that had similar styles and it's worth comparing them to analyze your own personal goals.ismith - had similar styles and it's worth comparing them to analyze your own personal goals.ismith
- imo Adhemas is unnecessarily over-the-top, while Emil uses the style more conservatively (yet tastefully).ismith
- ismith is vague.Antonelli
- ismith is high o.Oismith

My god... Batista's work is so repetitive. Is the whole circle/bubble/spiral thing the best solution for EVERY single client? jeez. Emil's stuff is nicer - a little more variety in that one. i like it.
- completely agree... a few of batistas pieces seem original but overall its way too similar734
- Josev0
Yeah, the world's not so black and white.
They're both good in different ways.
- Jaline0
Both are good, but I vote for Emil Kozak. I'm still trying to buy one of his t-shirts.
- Llyod0
all this shit looks the same

How many snowboard and skateboard designs can you show on one page? Overkill... Not even a close call, Adhemas hands down. Stronger personal portfolio, better client work and less personal design projects.

Emil.

emil... his grasp of color seems much more refined... plus he seems to be genuinely creative from project to project.

By the way, I disagree that someone should be written off just because they have repetitive work. Many designers use the same process for nearly everything they do (ex. Joshua Davis, Si Scott, etc.)
- well actually, not written of, but they are limited and the surpise wears of in their work...tank02
- Well, I don't look into their work as having to be surprising, as long as it is consistently "good" or "real".Jaline
- jup, i like emils stuff to, alot actually, i just like it when designers take 90 turn degree term sometimestank02
- horton0
someone should get them together in like a live designer battle, with dualing tablets and live video and a drunk audience to cheer on their favorite...
oh wait. nevermind. some idiot already stages an event like this.

I like Batista, Emil is too Retro + Bauhaus + Emo for me right now.
