Archives for "Inspiration"

Of all the years I have spent combing the internet for the best it has to offer, I’ve never come across someone quite as talented as Marcus Eriksson. I am particularly fond of his work for the Air Jordan brand, of which he has many examples in his portfolio.

Marcus is currently serving as Creative Director for the relatively new Academy, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Follow him on twitter @subdisc.

Sure, we’ve been taking colour photographs since 1861, but these twenty-five artists go much further than simple colours. They take advantage of it in a way that is both beautiful and astounding, transforming an otherwise ordinary photo into a piece that captures your imagination with ease.

Not only does Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic have one kick-ass name, he has the skills to back it up. I’ve seen the work of thousands of graphic artists and designers and and Aerosyn’s sense of design, art direction and execution are often on a level of their own. He is also a founding member of The Keystone Design Union, a global collective that consistently outputs some of the most stunning work in the industry (which makes sense, looking at their roster of professionals).

I came across the work of Fredrik Melby a few months ago on popular the popular creative professionals community Behance. He combines somewhat dark subject matter with outstanding typography and design sense to deliver crisp, moving imagery. Something everyone must experience.

Check his work out on his Behance or at http://www.anti-ink.com.
