Young Guns

Young Guns is a portfolio competition awarding creative professionals 30 years and under, including designers, illustrators, entrepreneurs, and more!

2014: The theme for Young Guns 12 was "Creativity Never Dies", best exemplified in a video game created by dozens of past Young Guns winners where the game character would live forever. This year’s Young Guns Cube was definitely a show stealer at the October 9, 2014 ceremony. Designed at Deutsch Inc. by Young Guns winners Menno Kluin (YG6) Juan Carlos Pagan (YG11) and Brian Gartside (YG12), this laser-etched and hand-polished beauty now sits on the shelves of 31 young creatives around the world.

One Thousand Percent

Phil Pinto is a director and producer based in Brooklyn, NY.  

Phil grew up a rebellious kid in New Jersey. His grown-up work follows suit, featuring subverted iconography of those in power:  balletic S.W.A.T. teams, dystopic cheerleaders, bad cops. He has created visuals for a wide variety of musicians including Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Black Lips, and Sleigh Bells. His music video for Diplo's “Revolution” was in competition at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival.  

His commercial clients include Vogue Magazine (US), Intel, Nowness, Jawbone, Atlantic Records, Spotify, 2x4, AR New York, Human Rights Watch, Urban Outfitters, HunterGatherer, Incase, Mad Decent, Vice Records, Nike, Print Magazine and Eddie Bauer.

Phil is the founder and Creative Director of One Thousand Percent, a collaborative production company focused on creating high-quality commercials, music videos and branded content for a variety of clients. 

Phil created the first and only moving image cover for Vogue Magazine; he was the recipient of a Japanese VMA; and he has been a visiting critic at the Yale School of Art Graduate Graphic Design program. He loves Auntie Anne’s and looks forward to getting a dog.
