illustration inspiration!

Today I have fallen in love with the illustrations of Dimitra Tzanos. His playful style and awesome use of colour just demands your attention and you simply can't help but fall in love with the designs. Wish I owned them all and could hang them up throughout my house ha ha ha!

On his website he has the following to say:
"Born and raised in Johannesburg, I'm of Greek origin and currently live in Athens. I studied Graphic Design in Athens and got my Masters in London but now prefer to call myself an illustrator or even just a drawer...whatever the world understands. But generally I have this obsession with organising and categorising information, eliminating unnecessary details and keeping things simple. Mostly you can see this in my doodles and drawings!"

Below is a series he did based on "5 events that shaped South Africa's wine industry. They too are AWESOME and you have to agree that this is one seriously talented man!

Awesome print advertising campaign

When I came across this ad campaign I just had to pause for a moment due to its pure AWESOMENESS (ha ha ha). The message is simple... bench fix, a line of hairstyling products, offers you a superior hold. The art direction of the shots as well as the concept and execution are just perfect in my opinion! No wonder this campaign received some mad recognition from "Adds of the World" - which I hope every designer has visited at least once!
