Il Sole 24 Ore

La Vita Nòva [Il Sole 24 Ore] illustrated by Marco Goran Romano.

The project describes all the photovoltaic process briefly. Starting from when the sun’s rays meet the photovoltaic cell until the produced energy is sold to the power company.

Digging the cool pictogram-like minimalist elements.

Yummy /2

As a fan of miniature design or photographic essays involving figurines or toys – icon design fits the bill of the extraordinarily detailed eye candy jewel-like pictograms we love to use.

Showing? Some yummy examples.

Time Space Everything by Marius Bauer

“Good design delivers one message”. That´s one of the key parameters for this projects. If you can deliver one message very clearly, your design is functional. Where art leaves interpretation and discusion. They wanted to bring those two disciplines together and I think you can see it quite well in Time Space Everything.

Wallpapers – t-shirts – book available via Systemkings.

Jumping out

Jumping out of the screen! Colors? Spectacular splashes of colours abound in these illustrated portraits titled abstract colors serie by Alessandro Pautasso, aka Kaneda. These are jaw-dropping amazing.
