Whimsical Design

I recently had someone tell me they were looking for a “touch of whimsy” in their design.  The request got me wondering how that could be accomplished without crossing the line into kitsch. So as any good designer would, I embarked on a case study journey. Well, OK, so all did was search the internet.  As expected, I had to wade through a deluge of pictures to find a few ideas that had a flair of whimsical fancy, yet given the right context, didn’t seem to cross the line.
