Sela Bar - Leeds

This is a bar in Leeds that is possibly my favourite haunt by far. I have always loved the poster artwork produced for them. This particular one stands out to me most. I love the composition of it, the curning, the colour choices and the simplicity of it. It just works. The hierarchy of information havs been considered well and it contains everything you would need to know about the event. Great simple design.

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 :)

Alec Doherty - Lonely Punks

We recently had a visiting professional that came into college to give a talk and presentation of his work. The professional was Alec Doherty from Lonely Punks, illustrator and graphic designer. I found myself really relating to his style of illustration and finding it really made me tick. It is the style and boldness that I am looking for within my work. It almost comforted me in a sense to see illustration out there being used and contextualised for various jobs and not just thought of being aesthetically pleasing and almost pointless. This is another style of work that I would like to try and see where it takes me...
