Amazing fashion illustrations by Sophie Griotto

Absolutely loooove it!!!

Amazing Typography

There is something so artistic about the different shapes, sizes and styles of type. But typography is not just about choosing a nice typeface. Actually it's much more than that, and some designers proved it by mixing typography with portraits and creating typograhic faces.
