Been a while that I wanted to do some posters about my everyday routine. Just a fun project to practice typeface combinations. Let me know what you guys think!

I think many of us love the kinds of journeys which reveal something unexpected and open our eyes to something new. I went on such a journey recently. Check out my photos from the Alpes.

Of course, as always, feel free to ask me any questions or share your thoughts in the comments section.

All the best

Travel is always, in some way, transformative, an experience that leaves its mark long after the homecoming. Traveling with a focus, not just with a specific place but a specific objective in mind, is even more potent to change our perspective.
Last summer, I experience of not simply traveling, but traveling to achieve a goal, to undertake something that could not be done at home. This year, I want my idea of making a book, become reality. Hope it will surprise you.

What I think of my Christmas gift.

There’s a lot more to simple design than you think. A product like this appear clean and unobtrusive to the naked eye, but there’s a lot going on beneath the surface that most people don’t know about. Nor do they need to. They only need to know that it will do what they need it to do, when they need it to do it.

That’s the underlying principle of minimal design. Not necessarily to “strip” something down, but to make sure it’s easy to figure out and access with as few distractions as possible.

Dieter Rams said it first. Simple design isn’t just about subtracting things from a design willy-nilly. It has to improve the design’s overall effectiveness. Rams’ aim is to strip away the “non-essentials” of a design, to return it to a pure, simple state.

Simple is a lifestyle.
