Week 12 : Frank & Oak is woke + Arngren is going out with a bang

Week 12

Frank and Oak is woke


www.frankandoak.com has my favorite type of graphic design: photography-forward with a clever use of type and grids. They have such beautiful stylized photography and a cohesive style. They have clothes to buy and also these subscription boxes. I haven't seen many companies try to pull of both of these models.

I feel like it visually resembles a classified ad, but is even harder to soak in the info.
