Kudos To Ojan

If you boil down all the elements that go into designing a great postcard, what do you have when you lift the lid?

You have a postcard that can change your mind.

And when I came across a series of postcards from Indonesian designer OJANTO WORK, that's exactly what happened to me.

The postcards are maps of various cities throughout Indonesia.  Ojan states that each card is designed with colors and perspective that reflect the uniqueness of the city it represents.

Perhaps I'm drawn to the maps (guess I'm a closet map lover).  And I'm definitely attracted to the bright colors and bold lines.  I like the innocence of the graphics and the professional crispness of the execution.  I see the influence of textile design, and palettes of colorful inks being pulled through a screen.

Ojan wonders if the designs might help convince someone to come visit a vast and varied country. 

I think it has.
