Stickmen Cards

I have recently seen these illustrated cards in regular card shops. They are created by Santora collections. Unfortunately I couldn't find many images of them online. However they have developed the well know stickmen styled drawings, with added humorous catchy captions. I like the idea of using something so simple in this case a style, which people can easily relate to. The simple style also makes it easy to make the cards aesthetically pleasing; with the theory less is more. There are endless possibilities for the idea, which is needed for card design.

In some specialist card shops, I find endless inspiration for illustrative ideas.

Atypyk

‘Atypyk’ is a company dealing with creating witty novelty objects. They take a regular product, which is then developed using stereotypes, and close associations. I believe these ideas are old and obvious for example for many years in our British society we have developed the image of someone singing in the shower. This classicism is what makes the product work. I believe sometime we can be so concerned with staying away form the stereotype when it’s the stereotype that is required. Stereotypes untrue or true are part of our society and in many cases can be used for humoristic value. We all know these random idea's and therefore if used a product can be applicable to the wider audience.
Here are a few of my favourites.
