In week 13, we discussed the Canadian designers. Theo Dimson is the one who I inspired. He was born in London, Ontario and passed away in 2012. He was a Toronto graphic designer. Art Deco-Style movie and theatre posters were his well-known pieces. He studied at Ontario College of Art and Design with a scholarship and graduated in 1950.

I think his art style is very special which mostly using lines and shapes with colours. Also, I found that in some of his art works he included spiral shapes.

He was the author of Great Canadian Posters and commissioned by Canada Post to create stamps.

I think the images in his stamps design are cute and I like his colour palettes, they are always related to the art work topics.

This is one of my favourite Theo Dimson’s work. This is a series of posters for Falcon Bridge. I really like design of the bird’s eye, it looks funny and cool.
