Today I would like to talk about the work of a local artist and illustrator called Layla Holzer. As a graphic designer myself, I feel very passionate about sharing the amazing work of fellow artists, especially those from the little corner I call home here in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Do you feel that maybe you’re paying too much for your graphic design, web development and marketing materials? Is that maybe because you’re using a big, fancy agency for your marketing materials?
A quick post for you today showing you some amazing photographs from the German photographer Lucas Zimmermann. Lucas manages to capture images that would normally not be able to be seen with the human eye. Even more interesting that mundane objects such as traffic lights could project such beauty.
In this post I just simply wanted to share something that made me go ‘wow!’ check out these beautiful surrealistic pieces by Luisa Azevedo. I have always been drawn in by magical images and landscapes, so to me these are just amazing.

This is a quick post to show you a small selection of the lovely illustrations in the book, Wild Animals of the North. A lovely children’s book by Dieter Braun. I just had to show off these marvellous graphic design style illustrations…
