Amazing talent

It's not very often I come across someone so brilliant that it takes my breath away! Dominique Falla of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, is one such talented lady. She is known as the “Tactile Typographer” due to the specific nature of her art practice, combining craft mediums with a digital aesthetic. "How?" I hear you say. Well, it goes like this:

The artworks are first hand-drawn, then scanned and redrawn in Illustrator before being made from pin and string. Hundreds and hundreds of metres of string!

Maps of the World

I love a good map, me. From a big 'ol atlas, to an individually designed 'arty' one, or from the front pages of a fantasy book to keep you entertained while following the journey of the protagonists.

There is just something beautiful about the simplistic, yet complex, information found in a map. This is the original infographic. It is information design in it's purest form. It has to work on several different layers; visually, contextually and be understandable to the masses. If it can't deliver on these points, then there is no point... except maybe to make someone smile!

Here are some of my favourites...
