The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
By Gabrielle.
The day is grey and I’m craving something colorful. These Shapes of Cities posters by Yoni Alter are giving me a lift.
Each one features famous landmarks in actual proportions in cities around the world. Look for the double-decker bus in the London print and the cable car in the SF print. They are all available as prints, pillows, t shirts and iphone cases.

I am such a sucker for beautiful colors like these! I like how they overlap.
I LOVE these prints! The London one is my favorite I think. I wish there was a Nashville print though… maybe one day!
I thought the same thing! I’d love to see the Bat Building on such a print :)
so neat! I wish there was a Seattle print – our favorite place to visit!
these are so fun! love them!
Great city shapes and the colours have created such a wonderful mood!
Oooohh the overlapping is an awesome effect! I love cities that are recognizable by shape and I designed this fabric with the Charlotte- my current city- skyline on it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/110931406/charlotte-skyline-market-tote-north
I’m hoping to do more soon- there are so many cool cities on my list!
Totally getting the PBurgh one for my dad. I wish Washington DC was available–so many great shapes to choose from (Cathedral; Wash, Lincoln, Jefferson Monuments; oh and I guess maybe the Capitol…)
Beautiful !!!
