OUGD401 (Study Task 1) 5 Pieces of Work

 

Florian Nicolle

I especially like these two portraits because of the use of the white space around the thin detailed pen lines and how there isn't an end point to the drawing. I also like how colour has only been used in the shaded areas and doesn't distract from the illustration but adds another layer.

Chris Ozer

This pictures use of symmetry is something that appeals to me and the vanishing point adds and intriguing depth to the image. I also like the moody tone he has created through his use of lighting and editing and has managed to capture a normal scene of the new york subway which millions of people would see everyday and turn it into something different.

Imeus

Last year I went to a screen printing exhibition called Pick Me Up where I first saw Antony Peters' (Imeus) work. He combines illustrations with his own prints to take images out of context and give them a new meaning.

Motion graphics is an area that I am not very familiar with and am constantly inspired by it. It takes elements of graphic design a step further through moving image and would be interested in learning more about it.

Midnight Marauder

Freelance designer based in Los Angeles Midnight Marauder re-imagines movie poster designs into his distinctive gritty style. I prefer almost all of his alternative designs to the original because of his use of type, images and layout effectively set the tone for the films.
