A plastic glove blowing down the street. Most of us walk past it. Maria Zilli could watch it for hours. 👀 The Italian illustrator and animator turns the daft little details of everyday life into stories that are funny, surreal and oddly tender. She works in coloured pencil and 2D animation, and she’s now making Volcano, a short set in Iceland, with her Foolworks co-founders. Go give her a follow @zia.amria 🫰 #Illustration #Animation 08 Nov 2026 It’s been a crazy old year. In a really good way. So much is happening behind the scenes, as I dash from one event to the next. I’ve been figuring out the next chapter of @creativeboom and where it’s heading. Much like everyone else right now. It’s a proper “pull up socks” moment. I’ve never been so challenged or so excited. The creative industry is changing so fast, and we have to adapt. I love the magazine I’ve built and I love where it’s going. Change is never easy. It can be ridiculously hard. But it’s in these moments that we grow. We don’t notice it happening, but the discomfort and fear lead to bigger and better things. I’ve also loved getting out there and chatting with brilliant people, like @deegerman and @lisadesignnyc at the recent @affinity for iPad launch in Shoreditch. It’s humbling to be invited to host panels and do talks. As for what’s next… It’s like that moment at the end of Back to the Future, “Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need any roads…” Strap in, next year is going to be f**king epic! 🫰 07 Nov 2026 Phones up, eyes down 👀 Almost ten years after we first featured Peter Davis’s portraits of people glued to their screens, the painter is back. And this time, he’s at the gig. His new series, ‘Gig Pose’, captures that all-too-familiar moment when the band kicks off, and a sea of phones goes up. Look closer, and there’s a second story: the Nirvana and Ramones tees, now worn more for the logo than the music. “I’m not saying I’m perfect… I sometimes film at gigs too,” Peter admits. Same, Peter. Same. Catch six pieces from the series with Bury Art Museum at The Manchester Contemporary, 19–22 November, Manchester Central. Paintings by @peterdavis_art #CreativeBoom #GigPose #ContemporaryPainting 05 Nov 2026 Five illustrators we adore this week 👀 Five We Love is our regular series spotlighting creatives who are stopping us in our tracks right now. This week: five artists making us do a double take: ✦ Kiki Pompon @kiki_pompon ✦ Nahuel Bardi @nahuel.bardi ✦ Inka Szpitter @inka.makes.art ✦ Anthony Carranza @pulpamericana ✦ Yohanna Etchemendy @by_yhnn Know someone who deserves a spot? Nominate yourself or a friend in the comments – and if you're not already following us, we'd love to have you here 🖤 #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartist #creativeboom #art #creatives 02 Nov 2026 Five typefaces designers will love to play with 👀 We regularly spotlight the people creating brilliant tools and resources for our brilliant creative industry. Here are five new releases we can’t stop thinking about. ✦ Blubird by Rajesh Kumar (@rajputrajesh448) ✦ Vestige by @clairewilde_designs ✦ Puerile Grotesque by @appliedsystemsdesignstudio ✦ Brinell by @latinotype ✦ Clamp by @dani.bydani Know a foundry or typeface we should feature next? Drop it in the comments – and if you’re not already following us, we’d love to have you here 👀 #typography #typedesign #fonts #creativeboom 29 Oct 2026 Eleven years without a rebrand, and when Apple Music finally gets round to one, it involves a bath of mineral oil. Of course it does. 👀 Rather than designing the visuals first and adding sound later, Apple and TBWA\Media Arts Lab did it backwards. Fred Again and NEST Acoustics wrote a composition, split it into single notes and played each one through a transducer sitting in oil. The ripples were captured on camera, and that footage became the new musical note icon. It took months of trial and error. Too many notes, or ones pitched too high, and the oil went wild. There’s a bold, lowercase SF Pro wordmark too, with type help from Plau, and the same piece of music is now Apple Music’s sonic signature. Real craft and patience you can actually see. As we say in Manchester, it’s proper sound 🎧 Save this for your next “can we try something weird?” pitch. @applemusic @tbwamal @fredagainagainagainagainagain #CreativeBoom #Branding #Rebrand 27 Oct 2026 More positions now up on our new jobs board for creatives on Creative Boom 👀 A Practice for Everyday Life (APFEL) is looking for a senior designer at its London studio. Luke Powell and Jody Hudson-Powell, @pentagramdesign London, are after a midweight designer to join their team. The nice folk at @welshrugbyunion are looking for a junior content producer to join them in Cardiff. A senior lecturer in Fashion Communication is needed at University of the Arts London (@unioftheartslondon). And @prophetconsulting is looking for a senior motion designer to join them in New York. It's currently free to post a role on our jobs board – it won't be forever. Details are over on the Boom. Let us know what you think! 🎉 Salary on every listing... that's the house rule! 26 Oct 2026 What a day @that.designthing ✨ We had an afternoon of introducing the Shrewsbury design community to the world of foiling, followed by wonderful, funny and inspiring talks from the fantastic Simon Dixon from @dixonbaxi, @zoehitchen & @l4nre. It’s always great to meet designers who are as excited about foil as we are and we loved seeing your creative ideas truly shine! Huge thanks to Tony for putting together a fantastic debut @that.designthing and to @katylcowan @creativeboom for inviting the Foilco team along ✨ See you at the next one!

Follow us, comment below and we’ll pick another Ten Under 10K. In the meantime, Brighton Illustration Fair runs on 31 October and 1 November. See you there? #illustrators #creativeboom 23 Oct 2026 Almost every creative professional in @creativeboom’s 2026 survey uses AI. Very few think it’s doing the industry any good. Creative Boom describes the result as a profession “adapting under duress.” Share it with another creative. 22 Oct 2026 Illustrators! What can you make in under two weeks? Philip Lindeman made an entire city 👀 For his solo show Open 24/7 at L44 in Sofia, the Utrecht-based illustrator invented a slightly haunted after-dark world of night shops, dancers, lost tourists, and a load of stray cats, with a dash of Bulgarian folklore. Not bad for someone who’d never set foot in the country. Murals, three paintings, a dozen sculptures, a neon sign, hand-poured candles, and even a beer with its own label – every bit of it made by hand. Some workdays ran to 14 hours. “Somewhere in between, sleep became optional,” he tells us. Look out for the wooden shoes with floating laces, scattered around like clues from a wild night out. Nice one @philip_lindeman 🎉 21 Oct 2026 Never thought we’d need a badge to prove we’re human. Here we are 👀 Twinnin is a consent, licensing and provenance registry for the human face. You verify you’re a real person, then pick a side: Licence your likeness to brands and AI labs and get paid every time it’s used, or Defend it and keep it out of AI altogether. Brighton studio @unitedus_ has given it a grown-up new identity built around a Verified Human mark. The logo is made from the mapping points facial-recognition software uses, finished in the holographic tints you’d find on a security label. Hard to fake, instantly trusted. Every face in the campaign imagery is a verified human on the platform, too. Katy’s take in the full piece over on the Boom, including the six-second podcast clip that cloned her voice 18 months ago. She’s choosing Defend. #Branding #UnitedUs #Twinnin #AI #GraphicDesign #CreativeBoom 20 Oct 2026
