PART 2 - Google It...

The internet is an amazing source of information which is growing every day. The vast majority of people today will turn to the internet as their first stage in many research projects because you can find pretty much anything on the internet.
The google search engine is easily one of the most well known sources of information; one simple search subject can receive thousands of results that aim to help you. However, most people these days are very lazy and can not be bothered to search manually through books when they can easily type what they want in Google and find what you want in seconds, literally. All the information you need is just one click away...

Sadly, over the years I have become one of those people, I don't see the point in researching through books for every piece of information when I can access the majority of it online. However, I do believe that books are an excellent source of information, especially when using quotes from a certain artist or author.
As soon as I begin a new project I turn to Google to help inspire myself and begin to gather secondary research to help generate new ideas. Google allows me to ensure that any ideas I have aren't already out there and if they are I can begin to change and develop my initial ideas.


An excellent example of how Google has helped me out was recently when I was required to work in a small group to create a campaign for a new brand of make up that did not test on animals. I used the internet to research existing companies that we could try to re-brand and I also looked into products that are not tested on animals and their logos and designs.




Si Scott

I really like looking at design and thinking: that attention to detail must have taken absolutely ages.

Si Scott is one of my all time favorite artists, his attention to detail amazes me and i love his style of creating an entire image using swirls and curls.
As a designer it is your job to be able to interpret and decipher different information and have the ability to design and create their idea in a new and interesting way, whilst still being able to make the message clear to the audience exactly what the client is trying to portray. I believe that Si Scott's work is completely unique and extremely eye catching, I also feel like it appeals to a large target qudience because it looks quite unusual and futuristic.
