INSPIRING WORK

Today we had our Graphic Design Seminar in college where we saw the work of few Graphic Designers based in United Kingdom. There were few whose work inspired me a lot.

RUSSELL COBB:
Russell Cobb is a British illustrator and photographer. His work has been published all over the world. I was greatly inspired by his sketchbooks. He is thoughtful and puts his imagination on the paper in a very interesting way. Few examples from his sketchbook are here:







MOVE YOUR MIND:
Difference of opinion helps you drill more into the subject as you will explore the reason for the difference





Observation is an essential part of any designer's life. Russel Cobb's sketchbooks are a very good example of how to put your imagination on paper. 
Also,
  • More you look around, more you observe, more u imagine. 
  • Imagination comes by looking at the world from your own eyes. 
  • Brainstorming is important and helps create ideas.
  • writing adds to the generation of innovative concepts.
  • Playing games help in generating innovative ideas.
  • Draw when waiting somewhere.
  • Listen to people's conversation and draw.
  • documenting is a good idea.
  • self promotion-making postcards, printing them and sending them to clients and point them towards your website.
  • public yourself.
  • Approaching yourself to publish your work.
  • Illustrating on walls is a good way of converting boring into interesting.
