Wooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... *_________________*

Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure :)

thanks for sharing!
the sad thing, i went to his website, but my screen resulution (1152 x 864) is obviously too small, so i only ever see half of the artworks :(

:)

I know what you mean. Try googeling..you will find a lot.

Ooh, wow, his stuff is really beautiful.
And yes please, show more artists, I'm studying graphic design at the moment and would love to get some inspiration :)

Well..in that case, I need to post stuff. Because nothing is mor e important than watching. I also wholeheartedly recomment The ComputerArts magazine (computerarts.co.uk).

Wow, that site's fab, I've only ever skimmed it in the past, but I had a good look last night and it has some really great stuff! Thanks for the rec :)

lot's more to come :)

Very interesting & useful for me re: work. Anything you can say about their context & influence in the profession would be great, too, but just pix are enough.

This is a quote from an interview:

I think I came to make this kind of work just through my love of drawing, type and design and trying to do something that encompasses all them together.

He also says most of his inspiration comes from music :)

Wow, amazing :)
Glad you posted :)

Anytime!

these are really great. thanks for showing us, and please continue to do so!

:) Will do...

Si's stuff is pretty amazing. I still cannot believe he hand draws all these...

I think this is a great idea too. Nice to see some stuff to grab ideas from. Thanks for sharing.

So you know him already? The handdrawing thing is interesting. I think a lot of designers do that and it never shows.

And sure *g*

Wow. I'd definitely like more showcases. Thanks for sharing

cool :)

This is a great idea, even for a non-designer like me. I'd love to see more!

Can I just make a suggestion?
From the artwork you've picked for this post it seems to me that his work is not really diverse?! Is that the case [not been to the website yet] or did you just go for your favourite work of his and it happened to be the same thing basically?

Anyway, my point is it would be cool to see the different phases/styles of an artist represented in the post. But I'm quite sure that's what you'll be going for.

Yeah? I'm happy to hear that *g*

And I know exactly what you mean. I think Si scott has a very specific style and I'm not sure if he deviates from that much. I think a lot of people hire him based on that style (Nike). But I cannot be entirely sure. He does have works that are a bit different, but the typographic infuences are always there. But I do think that most well-known designers have a very specific style, some more then others.

I think that is a question you always have to ask youself. Be exceptional at one thing, or ok/good at many.

And I know what you mean, oddly enough, I haven't found that much older works he did nor any informaation on that besides where he studied.

But I will take it under advisement for the next artist. I'm gonna chose oen that's been at it a bit longer this time, possibly. We will see.

Brilliant.

Agreed :)

Oh I love Si Scott, I even once wrote an typo essay about him :)

Do you know his Orange ad? It's just beautiful.

It's so cool that you start with him.

Really? Would you shre? Because some people asked about his influences and earlier works and I cannot answer these questions!

And me starting with him was coincidental *g*

Sure :)

I don't have that many infos about him, because there just isn't that much also it was a rather short essay but here's what I found out.

- He left school at age 16 to study visual communications at the Leeds College Of Art & Design (he still workes there as a part time lecturer).
- Then he went to Buckinghamshire Chilterns University to further his studys and look into freelance work.
- He still uses pen and paper first to sketch out his designs before he uses the computer to finalize it.
- He co owns the studio ‘We are bitch’ wich looks already prommising.
- He says that most of his inspiration comes from music and esp. the lyrics.
- Himself talking about his designs: I always start by picking a font I feel fits the brief or works with what I am trying to achieve the piece and then will play around with different page layouts for a while. The next pahse is to just bring the piece to life using fineliners to create the illustration. I always work bigger than the finsihed piece is going to be and scan the illustrations at 1000dpi at 125% so when it is decreased to the actual size it's very crsip an clean.
I think I came to make this kind of work just through my love of drawing, type and design and trying to do something that encompasses all them together.
- His favorite fonts:
Helvetica (family)
Akzidenze Grotesk (family)
Pagan Poetry

Here's a video showing him at work

I hope it helped :)

They're rainbow and cury and gorgeous! I'm in love

*g*

Wow. Si's work is so impressive. His style seems to be really consistent in these, but they're all so beautiful. Thankies for posting these, and I'm so looking forward to more. :) Great inspiration.

Oh, what a great idea!

One can never have too little inspration!
