Artist Work I Like.

Simple, to the point designs is what Aaron Draplin does best. He's an American designer who is located in the mighty Pacific North west and part of the Draplin Design Co. The company projects 
relates to the Print, Identity, Web Development, Illustration and Gocco Muscle categories and has been involved in well known brands such as Nike, Wired, Timberline and many more. He started with nothing and has worked his way up. In his interviews he says “To me, it’s been a triumph just to make a living; it’s been a 
triumph to save money; it’s been a triumph to love what I do along the way.”

Aaron Draplin shows that logos that are simple can communicate better than complex ones. This is because they are to the point, a quick look and you can understand what it stands for (brand). I prefer this take on designs and would like to create logos as good as he does. The colours typography and icons makes his design. I want to go into Brands, Corporate ID and Aarons work gives examples from packaging to clothes.

Noma Bar was born in the north of Israel in 1973 and is now a graphic designer who is well known for negative space designs. He has illustrated over sixty magazine covers, however you’d not see it in your typical heat mag but in BBC and in Time Out London. Then has published over 550 illustrations which is impressive because it doesn't include all his doodles, drafts and designs that didn't make to cut. If that's not enough! he's released two books of his work  'Guess Who - The Many Faces of Noma Bar', in 2008 and 'Negative Space' in early 2009.

The reason why iv picked this designer is because there is more than meets the eye. The simplicity tries to fool you into thinking its just one image however, there are images within images. He designs around characters and social issues that are/have happened around the world, as a viewer it shows me what he feels passionate about. I love the bold, bright colours, without it some of the designs wouldn't work. The cleverness of fitting something else into a design turns into a game. Whats happening? What is it? I didn't see that happens on some designs. You could easily turn Noma Bar designs into logos, all you need to do is shrink it, not simplify it.

Noma Bar is one of my favourite designers, block shapes, colours, cleverness and been simpler than simple then make it work are key factors in making Noma Bar.
