Fairy Tales and Monsters Paper Cut by Damian O’Hara
Damian O’Hara, a Northern Irish graphic designer currently living in France, created a paper cut poster to promote an arts festival in London called Fairy Tales and Monsters. The illustration is based on dreaming and the monsters and fairy tales that can fill our heads. Within this piece he has referenced 25 different fairy tales and a few classic old movie monsters. He wanted to go for an organic feel having the imagery be woven, similar to ones weaving imagination when being told a story.

3D Paper Infographic Posters by Pattern Matters
Pattern Matters is a graphic design-based project inquiring on possible ways to augment the role of pattern by looking into the design process and tactile exploration through pattern making, where the main objective of the project is to inspire designers to look at pattern in every possible angle.
Pattern Matters has come up with three infographic posters that each display their specifics of topic in a 3D format where each paper sculpted piece not only represents a percentage but is also visually shown through a different color. The posters are the Frequency of Blood Groups in the Singapore Donor Population, the Energy of Worldwide Oil, Gas and Coal Left, and the Deaths Caused by HIV, Malaria, Suicide, Alcohol and Road Traffic. You can see the amount of meticulous work put into each piece and how lovely they came out in the end.

Hänsel and Gretel Paper Cuts by Sybille Schenker
Sybille Schenker is a Berlin based Illustrator that is currently mainly working with paper cuts. She created a children’s book that re-images the folk story Hänsel and Gretel using paper cuts and transparencies.
“The layering of textures and silhouettes deepens the mystery and darkness of the forest, which the reader must navigate alongside the children in the story.”-Sybille Schenker
Hänsel and Gretel is a tale that long predates the Grimm brother’s telling; with this book, Sybille created her own version to pass on to the next generation.
All original paper cuts and the book itself were shown at Sybilles MFA Thesis Show 2009 at the Visual Arts Gallery in New York City. The book is going to be published by minedition in fall 2012. Congrats Sybille. Continue reading

Infiniti Concept Styleframes by Smatik
André Ljosaj aka Smatik, an extremely talented Illustrator and a fellow FH Augsburg alumni, created these amazing concept styleframes for a potential Infiniti cars commercial. The project is completely self-initiated. He says, he just had the idea and thought it might be a good way to “flex his photoshop muscles”.
The trees, mountains and stones are made of paper which he crumpled, formed and photographed. An additional wire frame core holds the trees in place, while the paper throughout the air was built using his own photoshop brush to speed up the process. Composition and storyboards were done analog, while the final realization was completed digitally in Photoshop.
