Illustrious and Hand-Lettered Design by Adam Hayes

wardandrews — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:03:34 +0000

Adam Hayes is an illustrator and designer in England. He recently released a new website, which displays his colorful work in thumbnails that pop—the site itself looks like an intentional, responsive illustration. His varied lettering style brings words and designs to life through custom forms and textures, and I have a soft spot for geometric shapes like those found throughout his work.

The wind-powered creations would roll along the dusty earth and too often into the landmine area where they were lost—their race ended prematurely. You could say the same about the thousands who lose their lives or limbs every year because of abandoned landmines.
