Visual research

We were also asked to start looking at some art/design that interested us and we thought was effective to use as inspiration.
Jacquie suggested a really awesome website called typographicposters.com which I found really cool.
Guy Vickerstaff is one of the artists on this website that caught my eye:




He did this cool series for alcohol awareness week.
I liked the simplicity, the way they all worked together as a series, the style was consistent - loose watery, hand type font/text, the structure of the flat colour background; centred element and grounding strip at the bottom holding the text.


And this really cool eco aware poster for natural Scotland. using the texture of the rubbish bag as the fill for the image and text.

Another piece that caught my eye was by Stefan Romanu:



I particularly liked this because of the clever subversion; using the book and text to create this look of a paintbrush. The black and white is also very appealing.

But my favourite campaign would have to be Fiat's 'don't text and drive'.


This was just simple and clever subversion of imagery in type, and it really took my fancy!
