Drawing; Jen Starks Felt tip drawings
Anyone feel high just looking at these? They are produced by Jen Starks and whats so cool about them is that there done using felt tip pens!!!! They look digitally illustrated but whats better than using a felt tip pen. I’m glad to see some one is keeping the old traditional ways strong!! The drawings are original and amazing the way they incorporate space and colour and seem to endlessly flow into one another, you can pick out so much detail and little things from them. I love the creativeness... Read The Rest →
Photography; Dave Hill
I have no Idea how Dave produces these photo’s, I’m pretty sure they are photos digitally enhanced and placed on alternate backgrounds. I reckon he uses HDR to produce the hugely enhanced almost painted effects. Either way the results are cool. The dark photos emit a large sense of respect and urban feel whilst the picture of the dog and family enhance the excitement feel. Dave’s website is at www.davehillphoto.com and I would recommend checking out his portfolio its very inspiring.
Motion; Lock Stock Typography
Finally I love this piece too (Its not fair just to have one). Ok this one is different because it uses the type in the way the actor is speaking it, for example he uses the word slap and the text slaps the other text he uses annihilate the text shakes, it just adds this little bit WOW factor which the other two don’t utilize. The sans serif font used also gives a more solid rigid look compared with the serif, the colours agin are mainly yellow red and black.... Read The Rest →
Motion; Fight Club Typography
Along with pulp fiction is this title sequence which has been an inspiration to me, the echo used and on and off lighting puts you inside the building with them. The rust coloured yellow wall makes you feel like your leaning on it and the black and yellow type/background combination presents danger. The incorporation of the red type then suggests the blood that is going to be spilled. A must see.
Motion; Pupl Fiction Typography
The use of type is great in this motion sequence, there are loads of these motion movies out there quoting famous movie lines but this one is a true favorite of mine. The strong bold use of type for the main characters voice and the weaker choice for the defendants increases there tone of voice. I love the colour scheme to a strong bold tiled brown background is very pulp fiction and the powerful energetic yellow of Samuel L Jacksons Voice is impacting. Very inspiring and certaily worth a watch.
Motion; Mark Coleran
www.coleran.com Probably one of the best show reels Ive ever seen! Ever wondered who does all those cool looking effects on the computer screens of films such as the minority report, blade, Star wars etc. Well this is one of the main guys for it. Working along side pixar, New Line and other hugely branded film production companies, his skills in motion and film production are amazing. I don’t know the software that is used for such films but I imagine it incorporates the use of 3D production software along... Read The Rest →

Illustration; Jason Brooks
Jason Brooks otherwise known as HedKandi, produces these fantastic illustrations. I find them to be powerful, energetic and motivating. The girls obviously look amazing and for a lad they kinda represent what your perfect girl would look like, they also create the buzz which I imagine is why HedKandi choose them for there advertisiments. They are unique and have great branding power instantly recognizable to the HedKandi Name for there target audience.
