D&AD

This was one of the winners from the D&AD awards and is a poster to mark Charles Darwins 200th birthday. And was designed by Hat-Trick Design Consultants, i really like the concept of this design. Creating one picture of Darwin using lots of smaller pictures which symbolize his life. I think the way the illustration is one single line works really and gives it a solid style.
This is a pop up book designed by the illustrator Owen Gatley i found this piece on Just Us Collective. I think this pop up book has a very modern view on pop ups and really works well, the story portrays a young boy walking a dog who's imagination runs away with him. The use of a solid bright colour as the pages of the book really lets things leap off the page.
This piece of work is an illustrative piece that won the illustration category for the 2009 northern designers competition. I think this piece of work is very interesting and i always find work that has used a lot of imagination is interesting because it has the personality of the designer in the piece. I like the sketchy and jumbled up feel to this work.
