AureliaLangeAurelia Lange is a freelance illustrator/designer based in the UK. She works predominantly in pencil and ink creating daily observational drawings of her surroundings. Web magazine, Creative and Live, fittingly describes her work as follows:

“Lines, it is what Aurelia Lange uses to creates simple, poetic drawings. She loves drawing people watching and always delivers a clear message through her work. The need to draw only the essential is striking and very much engage the audience to create its own idea of the drawing. It adds as well a bit of magic as we often wish to leave in a more delicate world.”

GiovanniPintoriGiovanni Pintori was an Italian graphic designer and painter. He worked in the advertising department of Olivetti typewriters and became the art director from 1950 t0 1967, well known for many of the advertisements and posters of the company. His style is minimalist employing bold colors and geometric shapes. On the website, Giovanni Pintori Research, he is quoted as follows:

“I have always believed in the strength of simple ideas and the demand for clear, immediate language that is accessible to everyone. This doesn’t mean that the language of graphics is downgraded to the most common taste. Just the opposite: it means that the language intends to improve average tastes. This is a goal I set a long time ago.”
