Artist/Designer that have inspired me.

Looking through design magazine 'Creative Review' I came across a piece of artwork that i liked. I then went onto the artists' website and found a range of works that inspired me and that caught my eye. The artist is Stuart Kolakovic who is an illustrator from the Midlands. I like the colours he uses in his work and the style of the illustrations he does. His work ranges from soft lighthearted images to grungy old-fashioned work. His range of style makes his work unique and interesting.

On the left he has created some packaging designs for Marks & Spencer. he uses soft colours and intricate designs which look beautiful. On the right Kolakovic has made what looks like a Winter scene and he uses bright cool colours which enhance a Wintery feel. 

 I like the cartoon feel of this illustration and love the butterfly design. The dark warm colours work well in this image and it has a lighthearted feel. 

 There is a warm feel to this illustration with the use of warm colours and the the theme of love really stands out with the pink colours, candles and a cuddling couple. I think the rich warm colours work well with the hint of cool colours. 

These pieces of work show his grungy and old-fashioned style. The one on the left has quite dark dingy colours with scripted type. The one on the right is quite comical and appears to show the theme of halloween.
