Lee Wallwork:

Is a Graphic Designer whos work is very consumper based. He looks at many different area such as Art direction, photography, branding....

His style is very crisp, clear and slick using different forms of technology. 

His work that I particularly like is The Ted Baker Designs. He has experimenting with looking particularly at India but keeping the brand by infusing the classic design with an Indian twist through the uses of bright colours, spices and paisley designs. He has gone with one idea and stuck with it particularly creating the paper tuxedos making them sharp and sleek linking back to Ted Bakers British Brand. 

His presentation is key and so clearly shown through colour, design and typography. He is clearly technology driven and good at using the tools.

From looking at his work it has woken elements in my own work that I can improve on and develop in.

Rebecca Swarbrick is a Graphic Designer who has mainly looked at producing her own Zines but looking at it through the digital world. 

Her work that stood out to me was the project WATCH as it focused on the social media site Facebook. 

Making a publication looking at the bitchy side of Facebook set out in a similar format. Looking at the layout of Facebook and how you can make it into a publication by using the symbols and colouring of Facebook (the brand).How she has put it in a Zine format having a hard copy as it is more of a blog idea (writing your thoughts out online for the whole world to see). Well presented and clearly layout Zine also broken up with the PUNCH (digital fist) in the middle like a wake up call. 

I really like how she has looked at something so current and that everyone uses. Makes you think who is watching you. From looking at her work it has made me think about topics for my final project and how I could link it to the technology era and how it has impacted our society.

Creating photographs that portray strange and surreal in beauty looking at the female figure. 

Fashion Photography with the likes of FAKE magazine, DAZE Digital. However even standing alone they are pieces of art in themselves something I would have in my room. The variety from the colours she uses in her photographs the imperfection through over exposure add a romantic quality to her work is really hypnotic. Giving each image a vintage feel. 

From looking at her work the organic qualities shown in her outcomes have made me think about considering these elements in my own photographs.
