Design Work I Find Inspirational

Neville Brody's work is very plain and contemporary. On many occasions he has used a variety of colours and fonts against a simple, white background. I decided to reflect his style of work in my layout by similarly using a white background and effortless black text; letting Neville's creative pieces stand out for themselves.

Joshua Davis' work is very complex and detailed. His pieces show bursts of colour and a cluster of images; therefore I demonstrated this in my layout. For the headline I decreased the space between the letters, signifying the clustered feel; I also made the background colour for the headline lilac complimenting the colours of the central image. The text below the headline has been changed to the colour pink, I did this to exaggerate Joshua Davis' use of bright colours.

Saul Bass' work is very simplistic and carefully designed. Black silhouettes with simple text and bold colours are main features of his designs. The images I selected were bold and outstanding and didn't need a complex layout to draw attention away from them; consequently I used a black background and simple, very little white text. I believe the simplicity of the black gives his work a more contemporary and professional feel. I placed the headline to the far right-hand corner adding to that contemporary edge.
