So for this project to have some fun with it I really want to find some new inspiration from artists, designers, art movements, poems, cultures and so on. All these things can greatly influence my final piece. This also could contribute to my PPP helping me find things which I am a fan of and like.

I wanted to take a look into some illustrators after my screen printing session today as it seems a lot screen print most of there work to sell on. I thought It would be a good place to maybe try find some alternative influences for my money brief. What I noticed aswell was how many of these Illustrators had created campaigns for company which links into my branding project.

Fig 1 is a piece named doodles and is featured as a gif, I really liked this because of the randomness of the doodles. Doodling is something I find myself doing regularly without meaning and create the strangest things. Fig 2 is a very interesting way to approach kids clothing I think and fig 3 shows great use of type for a album cover something which relates to my secret 7 project as I was trying to find interesting ways to Fuck trevor. Fig 4 is work with itv an example of illustration being used in an identity.

East London based illustrator and designer Josh McKenna takes inspiration from the tropical way of life. Minimal in design often using asymmetric layouts, seductive curves, squiggles and vibrant tropical inspired colours taken from the past.

All these illustrators seem to have shops selling screen prints this is defiantly a relatively new thing to me which I didn't even consider when begin graphic design. However I love the whole process of creating something which you then make practically. This is something I defiantly wish to improve throughout my studies.

M&C Saatchi London, for Converse UK to produce 2 illustrations for the new advertising campaign for the highly anticipated and recently released Chuck II trainer. These posters are in place at various locations around London including Shoreditch, Brixton and Peckham.

This was a project for a converse and shows how illustration can be used within branding.
