Kolla!

May 28, 2009

So there´s a whole bunch of design-related exhibits going on in Stockholm right now and I will share some more highlights on this blog :) . First up are my two favorite pictures from the exhibit Kolla! which displays the best of Graphic Design and Illustration in Sweden right now. The exhibit as a whole was very Swedish (obviously ;) ) – Graphic Design is slick and clean and most illustrations are kind of quick and bit loose. Very nice most of it but I still see a lack of some braveness as far as breaking with already established (yet nice) guidelines of how to do things…

My favorite Graphic Design-piece is this poster made by Happy F&B in Gothenburg. It´s for a museum about skateboarding and I like the serenity of it. It´s brave to make a poster about somethings so action and adrenaline-filled so calm and open, allowing the viewer to rest in the possibility of action :) .

The illustration I chose is made by Annelie Carlström and struck me with its beautiful lines more than anything else… I´m not so sure I like the  look on her face but almost every single illustration depicting a person in this exhibit had this distanced “excuse me???”- face ;) . Beautiful beautiful drawing either way, absolutely love the hair too.
