Day 335 - Graphic design: creative solution for fire prevention

Every company has to care about fire protection.

Unfortunately, fire extinguishers are not very nice objects. Their color, form and size may even be very disturbing in your interior.

Talent & Pro, a Dutch company, found a very creative solution. They succeeded in integrating the extinguishers in their office by drawing illustrations around them.

As you can see, one extinguisher is transformed into a headset whereas the second became a diver's oxygen cylinder.

Day 333 - Graphic design: new Delfts Blauw illustration

As you know I am working on a serie of Delfts Blauw inspired illustrations.

Today I made this vase. Based on the traditional Delft Blauw pottery, but with a modern touch.

Day 329 - Poster design: Look with your heart (2)

Yesterday I posted an illustration that was inspired by a famous quote of Antoine the Saint-Exupéry (From: Le Petit Prince). I draw a large eye with a heart in it.

Today I decided to draw an alternative version:
a large heart with an eye in the middel.

Which one fits the best according to you?

Day 328 - Poster design: Look with your heart!

As a student in high school I had to read Le Petit Prince, written by Saint-Exupéry. At the time I didn't like it very much.

I reread it a while ago and I really loved it.

One of the quotes that I like very much is the one you see in the illustration below.

Day 269 - Graphic design in New York City: 'what's up?'

In New York City I spend a whole lot of time looking around me,
in the streets, the subway, billboards, shopping windows, shops, etc.

Why? Simply to get inspired and to see what kind of 'language' graphic designers use in the USA.

The photo below is taken in OPening Ceremony, a wonderful store in Soho.
