The Joy of Life and Creativity 🙂
By Alex Roman
In this post we will showcase the world’s most creative and sophisticated ads for your inspiration. The ads that strike me the most are the ones that can combine a good idea with a good execution.Now, advertisers have used fully the strength of Art itself, as an objectives to attract peoples to see, read and know the newly branding products. Advertising is no more purely to show off the new branding but also, the will power of arts too.
Advertising Posters are great at getting people’s attention as long as you don’t make them too text heavy and you include an eye-catching most effective graphic in look-at-me colors. Creative agencies are getting better and better at impressing their audience through incredibly artistic, thought provoking and controversial images. Good advertising is for real consumer. It is not made to win a prize but to receive the most direct and effective response. It shall not be seperated from local culture and social economy.
Advertising in old days, was used solely for the purpose of product promotions by company, giving peoples the brief idea of the products embedded with certain important features of their branding. But time evolved and so as peoples.

1. Please Nicolas, tell as few words about you
Well I am a 46 yrs old Greek graphic designer and illustrator. Started with the traditional way of design, and then, step by step I entered the word of computers and especially macintosh I’ve worked in the publication, and advertising sector for many years as a Creative Director. But along with that I’ve created my Design Studio “ZoriDesign”, to create unique jobs and develop more “personal style”.
2. How did the combination of cooking and illustration happened?
Well, that’s a funny story. I am designing and cooking. Almost from the age of 6 I remember myself drawing things at my mother’s kitchen. The smells and the feeling of food, was one of the things that I loved from my childhood. The transformation of raw materials into a meal, was to me a mystery, and something I adore. At first I was looking, then I started to cooking, and a little time ago I begun to illustrate my recipes, first for fun and then as a professional designer and foodie. The moment that this transformation happened, was at a very bad turning of my life. In that point I have to admit, that i was in an artistic black out, as an illustrator for over a decade. Series of unfortunate events triggered my creativity to combine my two loves.
3. How useful are your Illustrated recipes? Does it helps the chef?
It’s not all about the chef you know. It’s about the simple cook enthusiast or amateur. Recipes tend to be very monotonous and badly written. Whenever I take a recipe to cook I have to re-write it. To me all this work is about simplicity and the joy of life (and cooking of course). I want families to use them and cook together as a play, and a lesson for their life. Bad nutrition and ready made junks, tend to get more and more place in our tables.
4. If I am not mistaken, this is something new in graphic design field. Do you think it has a productive future?
It’s not really that new, in fact they are sites that promote this kind of artistic expression. As a professional designer and foodie, I am doing things concerning the mediterranean diet, which I think is a very important way of eating, living and thinking. So this kind of illustration could be used for educational, marketing, or selling purposes. Greek virgin Olive oil, feta Cheese, mastiha, just to mention a few are some our country’s treasures that I want to promote with my job.
5. Which artists inspires you?
A friend and colleague of mine Charis Tsevis. Not because he is a very great artist, but also, because he is a great person to always teach you something. And all that with a modest and down to earth manner. Also he explores himself and the techniques he uses.
6. What are your planning for the future?
In the near future I plan to be happy and in good health. Ok, seriously? I am promoting illustrated recipes for my customers from the elite of mediterranean food. I handpicked them and propose them recipes, for promotion of healthy food, through the world. That will be good for them but also for Greece which is in a very bad financial situation.

Illustrations, are my dreams come true. As the say the first love is never forgotten
After a creative coma of many years, a series of events (not all very joyful) triggered back my creativity in that field..
And then gave birth to collaborations with esteemed chefs, foodie thinkers, and food sites (to my homeland, Greece and also all over the world). A dedicated foodie myself, with a love for mediteranean Diet, and Greek food, it pleases me a lot to use my power to enforce the efforts of globalisation of Greek food.
And of course there are the portraits, of friends or clients. Funny, sweet, erotic, or ironic, reflect the characters of the people I draw everytime.
Greek Salad
Thats how the thing got started again. This illustration for “They Draw and Cook” was the favorite of many people throughout the world.
With this recipe I begun to enter the world of my Dreams. Greek Salad, is the essence of Greek and especially mediteranean food in one plate. The Olives, Feta Cheese, olives, oregano, tomatoes, and last but not least Extra Virgin Greek Olive Oil, blessed from the sun and the land of the Greek Gods.
