Andrea Cobb for Portal Publishing

I’m still reeling from last Sunday’s obscene spectacle, and the work of Andrea Cobb is the perfect antidote — so fresh and so clean. A North Carolina native, Andrea trained at Parsons in NYC and, after a decade in the big city, she is now again based in NC. Her clients have included Target, American Express, United Airlines, Chronicle Books, and, oh, Cincinnati Magazine.

Andrea’s work reminds me a bit of Jennifer Davis and Sion Lee, but her soft aesthetic is actually created with saturated colors used with a light hand. Like a breath of fresh air!
