If you haven’t yet seen the work of super talented Sydney-based graphic designer and creative Dilshani Jayawardene, then I must tell you to be prepared to drool. Dilshani creates stunning, dreamy illustration and photography collages, and her work has won her several well-deserved design competitions and features.
I am so excited to share this with you, as I really adore her work. Isn’t it just gorgeous? I feel like she maintains a touch of girly, flirty, softness but there’s also an edginess to her work. Dilshani has recently won Australian brand Sportsgirl’s design competition, which includes incorporating her design as the wallpaper backdrop on their website.
Dilshani has a unique eye, and I just love the stories her work tell, softness of her designs and her color palette. Although her work is digital, she creates such an organic feel and aesthetic, making her collages look very natural in a way.
Dilshani creates gorgeous compositions using a combination of organic and digital forms, creating a contrast between the gorgeous flowers she includes and the illustrated patterns and details. You can find Dilshani and her work online at her blog a new day.
Her beautiful work transports me into a different world, a fairytale. How does Dilshani’s design make you feel? Does it speak to you in a way?

I love these pics. This is the second fab artist you have introduced me to – the other being Yoko – I desperately want one of her drawings too!
