Marco Fadiga Bistrot
> graphics illustration
For those of you who have followed my blog for a while, you probably know by now that I have a weak spot for Italy. After living there for 4 years I got used to the italian lifestyle, including the delicious italian cuisine. Designer Manuel Dall’Olio has sent me a graphic profile he has done for a restaurant called Fadiga. The design is based upon the food form chef Marco Fadiga – which he define as modern, fun and sensual. I like the details in the illustrations for this profile, which makes me crave for pasta and lobster.
I’ll be in Milan during Saloon del mobile this year, so for those of you who have something extraordinary to show me or just want to meet up, feel free to send me an email!
Hattie Stewart

Since I was a kid I’ve been doodling on magazines and newspapers, but not in the scale that the British artist Hattie Stewart does. Her interpretation of how magazine covers could be illustrated is bold and beautiful. Her magazine drawings take the front covers of fashion magazines to a whole new level, making them more interesting and edgy. Take a look at the rest of these stunning designs after the jump…
Ego
> graphics packaging
The Italian designer Mattia Castiglioni has a lot of interesting stuff in his (or maybe its hers) portfolio. One of the projects I really like is the wine label, Ego. The graphic profile made for this wine is not only a fun use of naming, but it has incorporated the playfulness in all aspect – the abstract fonts, the reflecting mirror, the compositions of the label and the strong colors. I hope the taste of this wine is as big as its ego…
HIFI Typography

I have written about the crazy work of the Norwegian design agency Oh yeay studio, and now they have blown me away again. For HI-FI klubben, the biggest chain in Scandinavian with high quality sound- and image products like stereos, TV, loud speakers etc, they’ve created this hand-drawn typography. Love the details and the playful, edgy stile.

Halvor Bodin

You all know I love and live for design. But next to design, film and movies is my biggest passion. And when the two of the combine – I get completely over exited. In 2009 I snook around the city of Oslo, trying to steel a perfect sample of the poster to the international filmfestival made by Halvor Bodin. I simply love his style! Last week it was time for the Visuelt award in Norway and Bodin won- this time for the poster for the 2010 edition of international filmfestival. Here you can see both the amazing posters, and I am already exited about this years design and festival! Read more…
