We just posted about the 12 Most Popular Projects on IndieFolio and we thought, ‘Hey, it’s definitely great that people are getting to know about the art and designs that were appreciated this year but should it really stop there?’

No, it should not.

Our platform is for more than just the appreciation of the work you can see. It’s for the people who strike a strong enough chord in the souls of the entire community. Theirs is the work that stands out so strongly it becomes kind of addictive. Before you realize what’s happening, you’re hooked on to the arts and crafts of some the most talented designers in the country. You can’t help but begin applauding their projects and bookmarking their profiles left, right and centre.

Well, we used the magical powers of data collection to determine who these designers were and then used the secret spell of listing to show them to you.

We Without further ado, here are the most popular profiles on IndieFolio for 2016.

Chetan Patil

Whether it’s editorial illustrations or taking up a portrait challenge that spans multiple days, Chetan comes off as versatile, creative and willing to push the limits on his accomplishments.

Danny Jose

Perspective. Danny must look at the world a little differently from you or I and it shows. One look at the variety he has will make you wonder how many different perspectives he has for the world.

Her projects seem to understand lines and she wants to make them move. Whether it’s long flowing lines or short, straight rigidly cut lines, there’s a sense of movement and purpose in what she makes.

Vikas has done a lot of work over a long time. He’s experienced and seeing the amount of good work he has done, it’s no surprise to us that he’s on this list of top designers people want to know more about.

Malcolm has repeatedly blown our minds with his designs and the thoughts behind them. Typography, comic book style art, caricatures and more adorn his profile for us to adore.

He explores symmetry, shapes and colour blending in ways that remind us of outer space and galaxies. The feminine form is also definitely a strong influence in his art.

A freelance illustrator and animator, Saumitra’s work shows he’s capable of depicting religious figures and local flavours in a number of styles.

Her work is trendy and she knows how to play with shapes to tell a story. As a graphic designer, she has clearly won hearts for her designs.

Kishore Ghosh

A concept artist and a digital painter, Kishore Ghosh’s work will leave you in awe of his skill. We could say more but we’d rather the work speak for itself.
