'Beat the white with the red wedge''
The line, colour, shape and form of this piece makes it a powerful image.

Kandinsky

Alphonse Mucha


David Guilaume


A bag design by Guilaume looks liek the man is holding a gun, as a way of portraying gun crime.

Abbott Mead Vickers


I like the humour of this billboard display where the light bulb glows as somebody walks underneath it, to show they have an idea!

Tim Fishlock



I like these letterforms designed by Fishlock as they use strong, bold sapes and colour. They are readable when put together as word, however, some can be quite hard to figure out on their own.

Hand Job - Book


I fing these illustrative pieces very intruiging and I think the detail used withtin them are very effective.

Sue De Beer



Again,I like the use of coloured light, from either reflectors or gels, to give a more surreal effect to the images.

Cai Fei



I liek the suggestive elements to these pieces as it makes you wonder what has happended.

nan goldin



Again, ius another realistic photography looking into peoples private lves. I like the use of the mirror in this image and the composition with the woman to the left and her reflection in the mirror on the right to balance out the image.

Luisa Lambri


In these window images, there is a strong contast between the two with the use of lighting and shadow, it reminds me off a before and after shoot.

Larry Clark

Similar to the work of Dash Snow, his photography is very in touch with reality. I like the use of lighting within his black and white images, and how striking the shadows and highlights are.

Dash Snow



His photgraphs seem to have a realistic and personal feel to them.

Caroline Shepard


Her photography is very digitally manipulated with the images looking so clean and crisp as if they are painted. I like how she has a main source of light clearly coming from a particular direction.

Angela Strassheim



I like her use of lighting within her photogrpahy as you she used coloured reflectors and gels to give a more intiguing appearance.

Simon Patterson 'The Great Bear' 1992





 The map is a replica of the 'London Undergroup' map, however he has his own arrangement of “stars” that substitute the names of the stations. Each of the coloured lines represent different kinds of people such as Philosophers, Actors, Artists, Politicians and Footballers, and if they cross over into another talent. It makes you question if this is just Fine Art or whether it is slightly pushing towards the elements of Graphic Design.


Stefan Sagmeister



Stefan Sagmeister tries to touch the heart of the viewer within his pieces of work. In this AIGA lecture poster, 1999, Sagmeister had the words carved into his skin to try and vizualize the pain that accompanies each of his design projects.
