Luke Dixon.
I found this designer through twitter and I really liked his technique, he sells a lot of his prints through tee shirts and jumpers. His use of lines create a lot of texture and shadow which makes the illustrations powerful and interesting to look at. His use of colour is quite confident and sometimes can work very well but on some prints can be a bit too much.
Salvador Dali.
Dali is my all time favourite painter. His surreal compositions are so interesting to look at because of all the different layers and sections to one image. I think the smooth texture of his paintings work so well with his style to make them even more surreal as if everything is normal.
Bloomberg Businessweek.
This magazine has very eye catching and powerful pages that i cant decide i like or not. I think the bold in your face style is good to catch people's eyes, but i don't think it really suits the serious nature of the magazine. A lot of the front pages are very interesting graphic pieces which i think is good to see in a magazine that isn't design lead.
Craig Ward.
This typographer caught my eye straight away, I think the idea behind the 'Bad typography is everywhere' is important and visually communicated very well. I like the fact you can read both sentences and there's repetition and different layers. The piece with the fibres is interesting because it's been manipulated by hand and digitally, which relate well to the actual sentence, played with the fibres but worked hard to make them look legible.
David Carson.
Carson is very well known for his design. I normally go for very precise and neat designs, but looking at Carson's work I know I need to look at different styles and more conceptual work.
I dont really know if I am a fan of Carson's work yet but I'll keep referring to him and looking at more work so I can decide.
