Ryoji Ikeda

Discovered this guy the other day after ploughing through a load of research for my latest project, sequence. His approach to his formula project is the work I was looking at, very mathematical and can be found at http://www.ryojiikeda.com/

A great book for typography!

Playful type, published by gestalten is a really good book for unique and different ways of working with typography, well worth a read!

Radim Malinic (brandnu)

I first discovered Radim Malinic's work through http://www.brandnu.co.uk/home.php whilst I was studying an Art & Design Foundation Course at Chesterfield College last year. I find his work really inspiring because its ..... well brilliant. Malinic's very skilled at combining hundreds of shapes and colours together and still being able to make them work really well together. If you've got a spare 5-10 minutes I definitely reccomend checking out his site, brandnu,  which is linked above.

Abram Games

Today I discovered a legend of graphic design, Abram Games's work is fantastic! Big bold designs, complexity, delivered in simply designed posters. Graphic communication at its best. To make his work even more remarkable is that all his work has been created by hand, no digital help what so ever!

Welcome to my blog :)

Studying Graphic Design at Teesside University has been pretty intense so far but certainly very rewarding. I am an open minded person up for a laugh and always try and enjoy life to the best of my ability whether it be through sport, relaxing with friends or just going to the local boozer. My work hopefully speaks for itself, sometimes fun, sometimes bold and other times full of mystery. My name is Andy Illingworth and I hope you enjoy my blog.
