Bruce Emmett

Bruce Emmett is an American painter currently living in Paris.  He has commissioned work for a number of famous companies in advertising and publishing.  He works both in a traditional manner and also digitally on packages such a Photoshop and Corel painter.  I love the variety in his work<>





Duo Design

Duo design is a company run by a husband and wife in Paris.  Their portfolio of work is immense, containing a wide range of work that incorporates all aspects of design from logo design to illustration.  Their experience in all of these areas means that their work is so diverse and interesting.




DKM-INK

DKM is an American designer who studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design.  He now has his own company, DKM-INK, an illustration and design company which is situated in Manhattan.  I have chosen to display his work because i think he is a very diverse designer, his illustration style varies depending on the project and what it requires something that makes him a very flexible and appealing designer.

 



Gabriella Bianca

I found this work by Gabriella Bianca on the website www.thejulygroup.com, it has a number of portfolios of work from illustrators, animators and designers.  I love the style that she uses i think the blacked out figures against the contrasting coloured background gives an impressive look to the pieces.



i think this one above is interesting because she uses type, imagery and collage to create the piece, giving it a dynamic and interesting feel

www.smashingmagazine.com

I found some really amazing photography on www.smashingmagazine.com, each equally as stunning in its own right either for its content, unusual photographic style or subject matter.  They really inspire you to look at things in a different way and to look for beauty in unexpected places.





Vexel art

I found this form of design on smashmagazine.com, the name for this type of art comes from a mix of vector and pixel.  They are made up of a number of layered shapes.  I know some people are not impressed by work that is created on programmes such as Photoshop but i really think that these images are truly beautiful and would take alot of knowledge of the package to create.
