Illustration Inspiration by 23Alan

Posted: 19 Nov 2010 03:46 AM PST

Yesterday I came across this beautiful illustration tweeted by a friend of mine and great designer, Everaldo Coelho, and the illustratio was from another Brazilian. I decided to find out more about him and ended up visiting his Flickr page. The guy I'm talking about is Alan Rodrigo Lourenço also known as 23Alan. Alan is a graphic designer based in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil and his work is beautiful, especially the sketches and illustrations in my opinion, but he also has some great toy arts.

So in this post I will share with you some of 23Alan's illustrations. For more information about him check out his Web site at http://a23alan.daportfolio.com/ or his Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotoilustracao/

Illustrated Greeting Cards by Cartolina

Posted: 18 Nov 2010 06:43 PM PST

A cool thing about greeting cards is that it must be creative in some way. It might have a creative saying or maybe a really nice design. I remember watching (500) Days of Summer and finding really funny the process of creation of greeting cards.

So I guess it might be a little bit cooler to design card whether than come up with stunning sayings. That's just the case of Cartolina's greeting cards. They make some witty cards that are beautifully done, with vintage-like illustrations, which give these cards this awesome feel. For more of their cards, you may visit their site. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Beautiful Houses: Bergman – Werntoft House in Sweden

Posted: 18 Nov 2010 06:03 PM PST

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week we present you the beautiful Bergman – Werntoft House.

The Bergman – Werntoft House is a project by Johan Sundberg, a person who believes that each project has its own structural strength and refined style. Johan believes that the architect's profession is an artistic endeavor with elements of technology, economics and many other things. One of his projects, the Bergman – Werntoft House, is a house situated in the heart of the Ljungskogen forest, in Vellinge, south of Malmö - Sweden. The design is based on the Danish atrium house typology from the 60s and 70s and has an outer brick wall and an inner façade which is mostly glazed. The inner and outer walls of the building are folded and doors and windows move in and out of alignment along the outer walls. This helps define spaces and views, frames the nature outside and creates an inner life.

This is certainly another beautiful house. I really like this combination of shades and types of wood with glass and some white interior elements, I think that the outcome here is great. An elegant and cozy house that allow you to have nice views without loosing privacy.

Check out Johan Sundberg website for further details about this and other projects. See you next time. :)
