Jon Burgeman






One of the most inspiring illustrators. The shapes that he creates for his characters link really well together, i really like how he collages his drawings. This then gives his artwork to spread over things like a pattern. His use of colour is used to really good effect. He choses about 3-4 colours and uses them well to create patterns of his characters.

Polaroid Mirror



I think this piece is quite smart in it context. Some products have a way of cosying up to you. You feel there is something both subtle and humorous about them. Colin O'Dowd beatifully designed polaroid mirror is one of them. I feel i should take relevance of product design into my abilities of graphic design, I feel i could get good results by using them hand in hand.
