Is an American Graphic designer and he is known for his innotative magazine design, and use of experimental typography.
i have focused on his work to do with Quiksilver the Surfing company. He was a very keen surfer.
he has designed surfboards and logos for quiksilver, including big bold colours and cartoon images.
the typography is always very interesting to look at aswell as it catches your eye. this is what a business should want to catch the attention of the audience.
the photo on the right shows one of his designs for Quicksilver. i love the use of colour and shows he explores his environment to find these backgrounds. the bright yellow is a much brighter colour than just using black and white
i also like how simple the drawing is but the black heart stands out so you can see that the cartoon character has feelings.
in a way you cant see what it shows so id like a little bit more detail as i dont know what this design is trying to show.
Peter and Paul
peter and paul is an independent creative industry based in sheffield.
they have worked for tramlines 2012 and created logos for many comapnies such as working for creative england.
looking at the tramlines designs they use lots of dark colours but then use the accent colour red to make the work stand out. this attracts the attention of the audience. using images of music in the background relate it to the event of tramlines which is all about concerts.
using white and red writing also makes it stand out and easy to read.
i would like there to have been alot more colour as music is quite expressive so they could have expressed this through vibrant colours and it would have stood out to the audience alot more.
they seem to use a limited palette of colours but a very contrasting set of colours on their work so different letters or symbols stand out from each other. i really like this technique.
Wim Crouwel
is from the netherlands and is an inspiring figure in the world of Graphic design.
His ideas are very bauhaus related but he was fascinated by the ideas about serial and mass production.
hes designed magazines for museums and posters and catalogues etc.
if we look at his work, some is colourful some isnt. i prefer his colourful works.
he focuses on the typography of the pages. sometimes you cant really read the writing but its the design people look at as they know which museum its from.
the images above are my favourite as he uses very sharp colours, eletric blue and lime green together.
the backgrounds are very simple which makes you focus on the typography which i like.
i like how hes used the colours to create the 3D effect of the writing and not the main letter. the colpour association is all the way through which makes it easy for the audience.
