Tom Crabtree might be one of the younger contemporaries, maybe also Eatock... Mevis & Van Deursen, but again, technically a studio..
- Ken Leung is ripping things up on the editorial side of things..neue75_bold

I'm a fan of Lava and their dynamic identity design

the conversation about illustration / image making vs graphic (communication) design is fairly interesting enough initself.. so many of the younger generation tend to confuse the two and the lines do blur and guess always have, but probably more obvious now.. especially when you look at sites like be hancé and whatnot...

What about someone like Non-Format? Which side of the design/illustration divide would you put them on?
I think at times people can be involved in both.
- agree...neue75_bold
- Non Format are do great work BUT, do tend to just work with young illustrators and re-hash their stuff as I understand it.wordsarepictures
- Still, I think you can say they've been influential in the blurring of type and illustration over the past few years.abettertomorrow

I think the guys I was obsessing over we're definitely doing both.

joney is over rated.
but you have to admit that everybody is copying what him and his team designed. inspired or ripped from some where what not.- Grrrr... Their product design is at odds with their graphic design IMOwordsarepictures

How about someone like Khoi Vinh (maybe not him but someone similar), representing the minimalist trend and the reintroduction of grid-based approaches in web design?
On the other end of things, Hi-Res! always impressed me the most with high end Flash sites and interactivity.
