A Necklace and Earring Set

Sarawan's use of altering the metal to get different finishes, and an absence of gem stones is what makes her work so unusual, its simplistic, but it works. She uses the technique of enamelling, so introduce colours to the metals and also sets out to achieve an aged, decayed look through partially revealing the enamelled surfaces.

Mohawk pearl cocktail ring

You'd never guess that this Leeds based jewellery designer makes all his work from a small 10ft by 10 shed at the bottom of his parents garden. Geoghegan isn't classically trained, which is what makes his work so unusual, I like the usual settings and stones.

This poster is getting at the fact that good typography is invisible much like a crystal goblet. I like the muted colours.

This 'font' has been made up of books using the curled pages to create the curves in the letters.

I really like work the is sarcastic of humorous, I think it gives the work an added level to it. 'Most of my work has some absurdity or sarcasm to it, since i believe humor is often missing from graphic design, and really helps in communication. this is especially true with posters.' Arthur Reinders Folmer [ONLINE] Available at: http://www.typographicposters.com/arthur-folmer/ [Accessed 21^st May 2013].

I like the graphic nature of this poster, the use of shapes is unusual. I also like the minimalistic nature of the poster which is complemented by the use of only two colours. 

I don't like this poster quite so much, although it has many of the same qualities as the first its not quite as cleanly arranged as the first one, some of the type isn't quite readable either.

Although Farkas uses lots of bright colours and this should mean his posters don't work, some how down to his skill he manages to make them work, in a style that is purely his own. ‘kiko is a member of agi - alliance graphique internationale, and co-founder of adg - association of graphic designers of brazil.’ Kiko Farkas [ONLINE] Available at: http://www.typographicposters.com/kiko-farkas/ [Accessed 21^st  May 2013].

Ernst Haeckel

Ernst Haeckel

Haeckel published over 100 detailed, beautifully intricate scientific illustrations of sea creatures and animals, some  of which you can see below. Haeckel didn't let the fact that he pursued a career in science stop him from fulfilling his artistic skills and dreams, but he was in fact able to utilise them instead.

 'McNaught is hoping to share with the viewer the awe that the natural world inspires within her. The antiquity of the map hinting at the traditional symbolism of the bird, yet the electric blue ink  bringing him into the here-and-now, glowing with energy and vitality.'
