Behance

I liked this image because of it's simplicity. It has a very limited colour pallet and uses bold black vectors. Even the style of vectors are very simple, but yet they work. I also liked the incorporation of pictograms. Makes the design very clear and easy to understand.

Undoboy

What I liked about this book cover was the intricacy of the illustrations. All are black vectored images but work together to give this bold pattern of shapes. I like anything like this, anything that looks like a pattern but when you look closer is built up out of lots of intricate detail and illustrations. A great book cover.


Behance

The type on this book jacket immediately stands out to me. It is greatly complimented by the subtle illustrations behind and by being kept to just two colour. Very cleverly built out of the illustrations. Brilliant.

Kako

Although this artwork has been produced for a dvd cover, I found the layout and style really helpful to look at. Again I found it while on Behance. The simplicity of colour and using greys really works. I love the weight of line used to create depth within the illustration of the models face. I particularly like the way in which the lines on his face link to the bunched wires. Very nice.





Linzie Hunter

This was another Behance find. I find Behance really useful as a source for inspiration. I particularly like the fluidness of the hand drawn type and use of colour. It looks really fun and inviting. Some of it is quite blocky too and makes blocks of colour ontop of other blocks really compliment each other.


Allan Deas

I love the work of Allan Deas. He's a freelance illustrator and photographer. I'm constantly trying to find a style in vector based illustration that makes me tick and thats similar to my own style. So far there have been far and in between. I like a lot of illustration that I find but nothing that really stands out. To me Allan Deas is one of them and a great inspiration. He uses the weight of line that I enjoy and varies it to give his work more depth. He uses big bold bright block coloured areas as fills and adds shading by using tints of the same colour. This is something I am working on within my own work and would like to improve.

Check him out :)

Paul Smith

I am currently researching into Paul Smith for one of my FMP briefs. The Brief is to devise a campaign for the launch of the Paul Smith Autumn/Winter collections, that makes use of their shop windows as a primary vehicle. The main creative thinking behind it should be to put a smile on peoples faces and capture the irreverently British humour of the brand.
