Visual food

Creative space.

I am always inspired by beautiful individual interior design layout.  

The way people decorate their walls and cupboards seems to say a lot about a person but as well as that composition and layout plays a huge part within this.  I want things like this, that are visually engaging, to inspire my work rather than simply being inspired by others work.  

There is something of an informality about these three images which I love and the colours are quite earthy and relaxed. 

Info graphics with a twist.

I have not yet tried info graphics and there is a large chance that I won't be able to do it successfully but still I really appreciate this design and the twist which has been given in conveying a message which informs but also promotes a way of life.
Again the colour drew me in and the complicated illustration complements the simple background and type.

They may have gone a little wrong in that I only realised who the advert was for after really stopping and looking over it which may be a good thing as they could easily be using it to re-brand themselves as a more playful and colourful/up to date company.

3D type and paper.

Hum Creative

I love hum creatives personality and originality which they bring to their clients stationary.  I wish I had found them sooner. So much so I am addding them to my top 30.  I would love to have the initiative to create such simple and beautiful designs.  I realise my own faults in design when looking and such things but at the same time I look forward to one day being able to create something as beautiful which is my own. Fingers crossed anyway. 

Another style I would like to achieve.

Although this isn't my ideal style I really love the colour, bright feeling, hand made effect and type based image which makes this poster work.

I don't feel I have really pushed myself into creating such hand rendered work although Arthur and I did have a go at some type created by objects in the collaborative project for fairtrade but it did not really work as well as we had hoped. This is another area I would like to delve into more as I really appreciate well thought out shape and colour within a set space.

The other type of stationary

This selection surprised me but I think it is the range that comes with the design that drew me in.  

I love that something can be transferred around all sorts of products and look just as professional on a pencil sharpener as it does on a note book.  The consistency shows professionalism and of course links directly to the client  - designers. 

Simple design that works is the best type of design. Of course.
