Day 359 - Fashion design: Weimaraners modeling in fotoshoot Acne

I love Weimaraners so much...  I have one myself. She is 8 years young and we call her 'Flo'.

On youtube I saw the video 'Acne, Behind the scenes' with William Wegman (photographer). In this video we see how Wegman does a fotoshoot for Acne. Instead of using human models, he uses Weimaraners. I love this video, enjoy!

Day 263 - Minimal graphic design - vintage telephone

Today I worked on a design for a fashion website. One of the things I did was drawing illustrations.
For the contact page I draw a vintage table with a vintage phone on it.

When I was thinking about my blog, I decided to transform the illustration of the vintage telephone into a oneliner. As you can it is not a real oneliner, but I think it still fits into the serie.
