Letter from Greece

Edo Smitshuijzen | 30 March 2010

Dear Editor,

I really think that you have many articles in order to make a book about design. I think that a book with clear thoughts will be very useful for young designers as they grow up in the life style period. For you and me design is a part of social actions and not only for design festivals and fake prices.

I am hard working in a country with low level education in design. I am proud to work not only for my family's money but also for doing social design, making work for the new left newspaper «DROMOS», making workshops for new designer for free and when I send posters in festivals and biennales I send original work making in order to work in the streets.

Yes in my country we are living in a very difficult period. The only good thing is the weather and our landscape. I send you some of my works for social design. I find the way to show them here and there in Greek magazines and newspapers, in the facebook etc.

Thank you for your time.

I am an active designer as design is one of my three loves. The other is Jazz and fine espresso.

Have a nice day my friend, love and peace,

Dimitris Arvanitis
