Peter Cronyak

Depending on the amount of information I can actually gather for my Zine/ Publication, it would be great to produce something as detailed as the likes of Peter Cronyak. Here is his publication: Mapping the United Nations Security Council / Resolutions. Or, UNSC/R. Peter comes from a political background and wanted to cross his two discplines in the form of a useful mapping solution on the subject of politics.

SYNC/LOST

This is SYNC/LOST
Its an interface which lets users hybridise music from throughout history starting at the birth of electronic music. I really appreciate the amount of thought that must of gone into this and how long it must have taken to make the software actually work and run smoothly. In terms of layout I like it for a fairly straight forward piece of information graphics.

Luciano Balzano

Heres an infographics themed publication on the subject of wine. God knows what any of it says, but it looks like it makes sense. It has inspired me for the sort of route I could take on the Nebula publication brief I am writing at the moment.

I am wanting to produce a short publication which concentrates mostly on information as I have already decided I want to inform with The zine I design and produce. I think this zine in particular is A5 and looks like a really fun and accessible little publication.

Ugro: The Grow Your Own Phenomena

I love this! This is a company called Ugro, they are a couple who decided to take their passion for growing vegetables, fruit and trees worldwide and start a business to set an example for generations to come. Really great idea. This company have seed sets for bonsai trees available;

The packaging is stripped back, simple and accessable. Its a really successful piece of packaging I think because it gets the message across for what the product is and what to do with it properly. It's definately a good start for referance.

MW82

Im fishing around to see if I can find any visual approaches that can get me excited about tackling the bonsai tree care kit brief I am writing at the moment.

This is the work of Designer/ Illustrator MW82.

The illustrations are quite textured and remind me a little of The little friends of print making. I think a similar approach could be good for What Im thinking about doing for my bonsai tree project. The textural, brown paper feel is more organic than on otherwise a white background. Organic is definately something I want to convey in this particular project.

Digitally rendering concept art

I have been looking at digital rendering because I think it could come in handy for illustration, probably using it to this extent but broadening knowledge of techniques is always good because it can feed into other things.

Matthew Skiff

Yes, another illustrator using great colour separation techniques, but I keep cooming across really good ones!
This is Matthew Skiff, Its more Comic book style, I particularly like the VAGUE t shirt he's done just because of its anti culture message, great stuff.

Also Some work on skateboards, I know its not painted, so i presume its lithography? Im not sure how you print on wood like that..
