I thought this was such a fun and cute design. I think it's also nice to see artists not limiting their medium of expression so it was refreshing to see design in a different way. The concept is very unique and humorous. The simplicity of the lines creates a very fun 2D illustration and provides unity to the whole composition. It also grabs attention because the figure of a person is used in a different context. Additionally, the design is very interactive with the viewers, which makes it more relatable and memorable.

This is a series created for Silent Studios by Si Scott in 2008. The series of animals represented the different areas in the UK. The designs were used for posters and packaging. It was also featured in the exhibit at Beyond the Valley in London and Plus in Birmingham. Scott only used pen and paper to create these whimsical illustrations. The lines provide rhythm and movement within each design and gives natural curves to form each animal. The curves really captures the eye and guides the viewer around the whole composition. Scott also gives a sense of depth with areas of shading or a faint shadow, such as the ones with the deer. There is a lot of random balance but areas with shading provide more weight compared to the blank areas. However, the rhythmic lines within each design connects and unifies them for viewers to understand that it is a series.

This is a fashion illustration for Gas Jeans by Paula Castro in 2007. I really enjoyed how the intricacies of the lines bring about an elegance to represent the brand, especially the image that it composes altogether. The varying line widths and distances creates visual interest and dynamism to form a more appealing imagery. It also creates shadows and depths without needing color. Additionally, the lines give a sense of unity and formality to the elements used in the composition. Therefore all the different components are seen connected and blends all the elements into one design.
