Trendy Tuesday: Scandi Ethnic

Scandi Ethnic, Nordic Boho, Nordic Folklore, Scandi Boho. You probably heard of one of these, but what does it stand for? Scandinavian (Scandi) decor is all about neutrals, minimalism, earthy tones and clean lines. While Bohemian (Boho), on the other hand, is all about bright colours, lively patterns and maximalism. It first came to prominence in the 1950s, around the same time as modern style took hold in America and Europe. Part of what makes it so aesthetically pleasing is its lack of clutter.

Nuts and Bolts: Dedicate Yourself to the Details – Text Placement
1. The underside of the neck of the donkey in the foreground looks like it needs a little softening on the edge so it blends a little better and does not look pasted on.
2. The text placement is not ideal and we feel a speech bubble from the donkey would be the perfect answer to contain the text and take the humor up to the next level.


The difference is made in the details!
