Illustration Inspiration

Daniel Ting Chong
Since coming to LCA, or even looking into the world of Graphic Design I have found t hard defining what I want to do most and what I like. I come from a background of Fin Art and I love to draw, naturally i was a image student. But learning typography I chose layout and Digital design, over sketchbook drawing. The most important thing I have learnt recently is that I like combining to two, even if it is harder work. 

I found Daniel Ting Chong on Behance and his illustration is defiantly created on illustrator. He is in demand in this home area and i love his style. I want to develop my illustration skills whilst maintaining a interest in type. David from placement made a great point in saying that type and layout is not a optional skill, so to say that is all I do is a bit narrow minded. I love this guys work though, a real inspiration.

Good Concept of a magazine design

Valentina Sanders

180° is a quarterly journal with an online presence, focusing on people, thoughts and actions. Its name comes from "I did a 180", for people that did a turnaround. Its content is versatile and targets a wide audience. The design is experimental and playful.

I love to see a strong concept such as 180 degrees carried through to the layout, I want to create a visual identity for a future publication focused on a solid concept. I love the use of photography and large serif type.

YWFT Nim is all about layering. Bevel effects, outline effects, 3d effects, shadow effects--all are possible and uniquely powerful with YWFT Nim, making for a near-infinite amount of variety and style. Modern and clean, with a nod to architectural forms and figures, YWFT Nim is ideal for striking headlines and posters, and declarative of a strong, individual functionality. 

I want to have a brief fully based on a typeface design. I wanted to do this within the Taxidermy Brief, but I decided that photography and content was much more important.
