Monsieur cabinet

I was introduced to this designer when in a tutorial at college. He is a leeds based designer and actually teaches at my uni. I really like his simple style and play on words and images. I have loads of random thoughts like this dotted around my room on post-it notes and have never thought they would be worth visualizing, but now seeing his work it has inspired to me to start developing a series instead of letting them go to waste.

Geometry

After my crit i received feedback that i agreed with. It was that going down a purely typographic route wasnt working but my investigation into shapes and how i could construct imagery was more interesting. 

I have begun a little research in geometry and illusions and how shapes form image to help with my development.

The use of shapes have inspired me to break free of type and investigate shapes and image. i think i more interesting resolution will come of it.

Oliver Daxenbichler

I stumbled across this guy whilst just looking through design blogs over the weekend and became interested in his work immediately.

Aswell as just designing he also sells his prints online. I hope to be able to buy one soon .


I  think his use of type and layout will help me in making decisions on what could work and what will not with my design. As i only have a small scale to work with i need to make it as simple and ad effective as possible, which is what i think Oliver achieves within his work.

Anthony Burrill

As i worked with some of his graphic and was in close contact with himself through the design process, i feel i have come to appreciate Anthony Burrill's work more. As i see it not just as the images put together on a page that looks like graphic design, but the true meaning, process and inspiration behind it all.

Anthony Burrill's style is one that influences me greatly in my design practice. even though i am focusing on a typographic route within my design is still gain alot when studying his work. As his style is crisp, clean and sharp, i take influence form this and incorporate elements into my design process. Keeping my design crisp, clean and clinical is something i want to investigate and develop this year as it is a style that i feel comfortable with and would like to incorporate that into my work.


For this brief i have looked at him for his use of flat vibrant colour and his crisp clean vectored imagery. i believe this could be a route which i take my card design.
