Other than being influenced by music I find designers such as Adrian Shaughnessy very classy. I think his use of the space on the page very effective, his designs are very crisp and clear cut yet his ideas are so unique. His ideas always seem so relevant to the brief set but in his own original manner, you can tell he has thought about how he will tackle the problem in a way that will put him above other designers. He often plays around with typography to create a quirky piece to make you question how letters should be interpreted.

About Me

Even though Graphic design is visual, I find that a lot of my inspiration comes from music that I listen to. The lyrics or a peculiar arrangement of a song or piece can stir up an emotion and inspire me to think in a different way that can put me in a creative mood. I like music to challenge people and hopefully create something unique and fresh and not just be “good to dance to”. I often work freehand and think there has been a lot of lost beauty since the major influence of the mac, but this is not to say I don’t like using them, I often use them in my work, especially for layout and to touch up or change designs, I just sometimes feel a computer loses some surprising mistakes which can create a new idea and gets you out of the mindset of sticking to one plan and carrying it through. My Design inspiration comes from the likes of "The Why Not Associates", Adrian Shaughnessy and Stanley Donwood. Typography is were I feel my major passion and especially hand made type, which is where my love for the why not associates comes from. I enjoy experimenting with different medias to create new and interesting ways for a typeface and would love to develop this in the near future.
