I don't know what it is that I like about this Photo of New York. I just think it is an interesting photograph! It captures the esssence of New York; a busy street, lots going on, people all going about their individual lives in their own way. The idea of celebrity and fame is also captured with the film crew. The bubbles floating around are a really nice touch to the photo, they sort of symbolise how people in New York almost float around int heir own bubbles, worrying about their lives and ignoring other peoples.

Si Scott - Illustrator




I stumbled across Si Scott's work whilst looking on Breed's website (www.breedlondon.com) I immediately loved his work. The detail is amazing. According to an interview with Scott, he firstly chooses a typeface that fits his brief, he then brings it to life with fine liners. All of his work is completely hand drawn. 




Neal Murren




Neal Murren is a British photographer/ illustrator/ and designer. He uses  real life photography and then add fictitious illustrations that give his pieces the feel of a fairy tale land. His work is subtle and beautiful and very individual.


LE BOOK





Whilst at a recent work placement, i spent one afternoon searching for inspiration in their shelves upon shelves of books, when I stumbled across LE BOOK. The design of the book was so interesting. LE BOOK is a nine-volume international visual reference, published annually. The volumes are separated into London, paris and New York and features the best work in photography, illustration, art direction, production, PR, advertising, music and fashion.

Mogollon





















Mogollon is a design duo based in New York. I first came across Mogollon's work in LE BOOK 07. I was drawn in by the creativeness and beautifulness of the work. What i have also noticed is that their isn't a trend running through the work. Each piece is completely individual. It is difficult to spot a piece of Mogollon work, the one similarity is that all their work is hugely effective and attractive. Mogollon prides them selves on producing timeless pieces of work, where contemporary meets classical.
