Hello there.

I'm Lauren and I'm a graphic design student, and I have decided to create this blog to share my work with others.

When it comes down to design, I am particularly drawn to is illustration. Illustration appeals to me most because I think it helps to really show case peoples skills and imagination. My favourite illustrator is Mcbess. Mcbess' work has taught me to base my work on something that I know well so it's never hard to come up with inspiration for a new design that I want to create. I like Mcbess' creations because of the simplicity in the monochrome look he gives his work, he doesn't need colour to add to the detail in his work. Another thing that strikes me with his work is the way he uses iconography, anything from a beard to a steak can influence his work and he still manages to make a really diverse piece of work.
