Enlightened Souls: Country Mice - Fabrice Wittner

Enlightened Souls
Country Mice

Following the first opus of Enlightened Souls in Christchurch, I went to cut my stencils out in Hanoi, Vietnam.
I didn't expected to work on a second series of characters during my journey in Hanoi, but my schedule went lighter than I thought and I needed to find an occupation.

September was dedicated to a simple trip across Vietnam, as a standard tourist.

In Sapa - one of the hot spot for tourism in North Vietnam - I realized vietnamese city-dweller tourists were a bit sniffy and picky with the local people from the mountains. Tourism doesn't always wear the happy face of a brochure but as tourist myself, I couldn't criticize too hard…

Anyway, this is how the enlightened idea occurred for the second time. Back in the capital I had two more month to prepare my material. Like a little joke, I thought it could be funny to let some country-side kids wandering in the streets of Hanoi, like country mice visiting their town mouse cousins.



I was quite a challenge again. If I knew how to proceed to set my stencils up, I rapidly understood the streets would never get as quiet as New Zealand. I had to deal with motor-bikes, cars and drunk people. But it didn't turned out to be impossible to shoot, just way longer.

Borda - Typeface


A carefully drawn geometric typeface. Exacting angles are combined with smooth corner details to form a clean, legible font with a modern appearance. The compact nature of the letterforms allows for great use of space across text layouts. Details include 6 weights with italics, an extended European character set, manually edited kerning and Euro symbol.

Dragon Card




According to the Chinese calendar, 2012 is the year of Black Dragon. Oriental traditions have become very popular among Ukrainians and got closely bound with the religious (Christmas) and conventional (New Year) holidays. So, New Year gains new symbolism but is still considered a beginning of a new stage in the private and business life of a modern person.
Dragon Card is a New Year greeting form Graphic Design Studio by Yurko Gutsulyak to its clients, partners and friends. It is a wish to be courageous in one’s decisions and strong in overcoming obstacles. To tame a dragon is to achieve success.
Design: Yurko Gutsulyak
It’s important to feel the design not only by seeing it, but also by touching.
