They specialize in the development of
graphics for the music, fi lm, and fashion
industries. Their visual work covers a wide
spectrum, from limited-edition record
covers and cinematographic posters to
large scale advertising campaigns for
national and international clients.
“Inspired,” “cosmic,” “insane,” and
“surrealist” are just some of the adjectives
with which this “precariously balanced”
independent circus, led by three designers
and a creative editor, describe themselves.
LA BOCA, THE DESIGN STUDIO of Scott
Bendall and Alain de la Mata, is located
on the legendary Portobello Road in
London’s west end. Founded in 2002,
this creative team introduces themselves
as one of the best examples of the new
generation of graphic designers in the
United Kingdom.
Their work possesses a provocative fl avor,
evident in their designs for the record
label DC Recordings, which have been
exhibited in various galleries in Paris
and Ambers. Some of their projects have
also been reviewed in periodicals such
as Computer Arts, Graphics International,
Grafi k, and Groove, among others, and
have been included in the book Super
Sonic Visuals published by Die Gestalten
Verlag in 2007.
