The GOODList is a community of creative freelancers committed to helping clients in finding the right talent for the project at hand. With its more collaborative model and a focus on diversity, it aims to provide an alternative to traditional recruitment platforms and representation agencies.

Each month, the team of The GOODList asks a curator to select three creatives from their network that they believe are pushing the boundaries in their field. The emerging talents are spotlighted in a series of video clips titled Curator Series. For the fifth edition in August 2023, The GOODList invited Harry Butt. Earlier this year, the acclaimed motion designer and founder of Butt Studio joined the newly launched Nexus Design Studio in the role of Creative Director.

Butt used this platform to highlight the works of three artists: Maïté Marque, an illustrator based in Paris; Juna Horstmans, a visual artist from Australia who currently lives in the Netherlands; and Bettina Comte, an interactive designer from Paris.

The typeface selected for the titles and the names of the featured women is Tempel Softland. Designed by Reymund Schröder as a variation of his Tempel Grotesk, it was released with Production Type earlier this year. The GOODList used Tempel Softland in the widest of its three styles, the Condensed, and mostly in tightly spaced capitals. Softland is supported by The GoodSans, a custom typeface designed in 2022 by Briton Smith at Family Type.

Oldschool Grotesk is used for Serial Cut’s Purely Iconic, a showcase of the studio’s work over two decades. The self-titled “Image Makers” are rarely associated with subtlety and restraint, but with an opulent, often exuberant visual language. In celebration of their 20th anniversary, they produced a book and a 15-minute film that is screening at design festivals across the globe.

The 544-page tome presents a selection of the most iconic projects, a feast of surrealism, pop culture, CGI, photography, and various other media. To achieve a level of precision that does justice to the rich imagery, the book was printed using stochastic screening. The black foil-blocked title on the cloth hardback cover elegantly contrasts with the content inside.

The film is available through the website, which gives an overview of the project and provides more insights into the production process.

Nine different covers were produced, as well as a limited edition featuring the complete cast.

Sofia by Mostardesign was used for the new website of Rafael Macho Studio, served via Adobe Typekit. Rafael Macho Studio is a small shop specialized in motion graphics, illustration and art direction. The entire website was developed with the Webflow platform.
