The Spetses Project
Spetses is a historical island in the Argosaronic gulf. In ancient times, it was known as Pityussa, while the current name Spetses is a borrowing from Italian spezie (spices). An unusual aspect of Spetses is that no private automobiles are allowed within the town limits. The most common modes of transport are walking, horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. It is inhabited since the mesolithic era, while in the period 1821-1832, Spetses played a leading role in the Greek Revolution.
The key visuals that were used for this project are icons produced by the main impressions that a visitor has during his visit on the island. Elements from architecture, mainly from the Greek and Egyptian neoclassicism that is dominant in the islands historical buildings, the decorative elements that are present in many interiors, the mediterranean sea, the classic yacht regatta that takes place each year on the island, elements from the natural environment and leisure activities were combined for these posters.
More applications of the visuals will be added soon. Hope that you will enjoy it!
