Fine Ent

Today, put together some work for perhaps my favorite client. The Fine Ent. gigs allow me to do pretty much whatever I want, as long as the graphics are that ridiculous. And right now, they are. I'm trying hard to be on some next level imagery, creating a combination of startling colors, provacative photography, and use of vectors and typography to create a more stimulating wave of new design. I feel I succeed here, my goal is for this poster and flyer to stand out amidst the waves of other show and radio promotions, and I think if you put them next to any others, that they do their job.

Its not easy to stand out amidst the many graphic designers and artists who are designing now, using a combination of well lit and composed but uninspired photography and photoshopped type to try and leap from shelves. I use the same tools, but am trying to do it differently, carve out a visual style that won't just define me as an artist, but will encourage others to step outside of the box visually. I'm not sure what inspires this generation of designers, it's not the past, I see little influence of swiss styles, or even recent postmodernism, or any modernism for that manner, in anything new. While I'm not working with these influences directly either, I feel it is my duty as a designer to help form a unique style for my area and generation of design that will help set it apart from other periods and from its peers. I wonder if my competitors feel the same drive.
