A homage to the work of William Morris’ floral designs and illustrations of the 19th Century.

Inspired by Greek Mythology, the video illustrates the singer’s journey, reinventing the band and his life 3500 miles from home.

I love the internet. Our lives are better because of it. I know, there are still a lot of by-products of social media and stuff like that. But from the business point of view, or design, it’s crazy to think how much it has improved. Look at this new product that was suggest to us by Nuhi Ademaj (azwedo.com) called FontInLogo.com.

Alex G. aka. CranioDsgn Studio ™ shared a compilation of illustrations that he’s done in his free time, during the isolation at home, to develop and experience new styles, challenges and paths. The outcome is really incredible and I can say, mission accomplished. 

In this period when people need to take care of one another's health, staying at home, virtual contact by videoconference has been a frequent solution. Work meetings, birthday parties and happy hours take place with the cameras on. It's been more than 3 months, at least for me that I have been in isolation with my family. It's not easy, but we all adapt and get used to it.
