Music is one of my favoroute things in life, and especially lyrics to music.
The Smiths, Morrisey, The Streets, Jamie T and Divine Comedy are some acts who I find very inspirational due to their lyrics content. More recently I have been overwhelmed by the lyrics and music from two youngsters who go by the name of 'Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip' whos album completely blew me away. Every track on the album is sheer geinus and makes me ponder the lyrics in the song. It has very deep, dark words that really cuts into the listener, leaving them with a new view on the subject. I would very much so like to do some typography work with some of their lyrics.

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.
