Monolith 2

This beautiful photo was shot by James Cambourne at Saunton, between Exmoor and Dartmoor on the coast. The original has been beautifully graded down and is presented in very wide 2.35:1 format. Taking the original photo, and another from the same set to work into the Monolith’s reflection, i’ve kept faithful to James’ grade but have had to slightly increase the height to display the Monolith fully.

The second of three (again, hopefully) pieces in a series. This beautiful photo was shot by James Cambourne at Saunton, between Exmoor and Dartmoor on the coast. The original has been beautifully graded down and is presented in very wide 2.35:1 format.

Taking the original photo, and another from the same set to work into the Monolith’s reflection, i’ve kept faithful to James’ grade but have had to slightly increase the height to display the Monolith fully.

I can’t really show the entire image here, the photo is too wide. The full piece is 55 x 26 cm. This will be printed in a limited run in the spring.

Memette

The way creatives learn and develop their skill has changed; coffee-table design books are dead and increasingly the resources designers rely on are becoming digital and transient. As purely print-based periodicals like Grafik and ID close, creatives are nurturing their own digital resources to keep track of their inspiration and to understand trends and new directions in design. And it is in this space that the creative becomes curator.

Vermibus

Spanish artist Vermibus’ work begins and ends in the street. By manipulating the image through removing the flesh of his subjects, Vermibus dehumanizes those figures that were already depersonalized, but he is, in fact trying to find the aura of the individual, the personality that was lost.
