I've always been crazy about the careful combination of watercolor and pencil so you can only imagine my excitement when I came across Esra Roise. I can't get over how perfectly she uses light and shadow to fully model her figures. Her depiction of hair is exquisite, all while maintaining a very relaxed mood to her drawings. I recognized her work through some pieces she did for fashion and pop culture magazine, Nylon. Really awesome stuff.

We are all aware of the great work that comes from the creative agency Ars Thanea and the team of Peter Jaworowski. Today they are sharing with us the case study of their latest work for Visa Signature, and you will get a inside look of how it was done step by step.

Wikipedia describes Toy Design as toys and other collectibles that are produced in limited editions (as few as 10 or as many as 2000 pieces) and created by artists and designers. They are made of variety of materials; ABS plastic and vinyl are most common, although wood, metal, paper and resin are occasionally used. In this post we have selected some of the coolests toy designs from Behance. They were created from different designers and also using different materials, but they all have something in common, they are very badass.

Ok, today I think I'll let our young architect readers more than happy, and the office lovers also, of course! This is the Novan & Vesson’s office, a team of architects from Spain. A beautiful example of interior architecture mixing modern elements inside an old building. Simply wonderful!

There are some illustration style that are pretty handy, like this one. I really find this style really adorable and useful, since one could use it all over the place. It would fit in webdesign, as a nice header, or background... and it definetely works just perfectly in graphic design.

I'm really loving the creativity behind this video by Langara College in Vancouver. The video basically consists of a bunch of really awesome paper techniques coming together to convey important messages about the design process. Things like "don't fall in love with your first idea" and "figure out what you want to say." Simple messages that we sometimes tend to forget when we get so caught up in our ideas.
