Feltron was originally the nickname of New York graphic designer Nicholas Felton, but has matured into a website (feltron.com) and a home for both Feltron’s personal and professional projects. He works in various media — besides print and online assignments, he has also designed for industries as diverse as skateboarding and banking, developing his work by unifying a common aspiration for beauty, utility and invention.

Feltron 原來是紐約平面設計師 Nicholas Felton 的花名,不過已經逐漸發展成為專門展示 Feltron 個人以及專業設計項目的一個網站 – feltron.com 和家園。Nicholas 在不同的媒體工作 – 除了平面和網路的設計任務,他還進行工業設計,項目多種多樣,包括滑雪板、銀行業務等等,他的設計將美學、實用性和創造性的普遍渴求融為一體。



“Most people believe that a pre-condition of infographics is that they must be boring. I think that this is a why a crop of current designers and artists has found success in subverting this expectation by creating infographics that are personal, humorous and beautiful.” 

“大多數人認為資訊圖像的先決條件就是枯燥無味。我覺得這就是現在的設計師和藝術家能夠通過個性化、幽默和美麗的資訊圖像創作來推翻這種想法、獲得成功的主要原因。”
