Blogging some resourced images from 'Google Images' of the desks of Graphic Designers- the main source of inspiration for our proposed 'Creative Review' advertisement which will will be shooting in a down-shot rostrum composition on Monday for Tuesday's hand in. Some great inspiration for lighting as well as utensils and stationary on the individual desks themselves.
Love this desk on the homepage of Illustrator and Photographer Mark Howe's website- bright, colourful, and full of character. Perhaps a little too personally styled for our shoot- but great inspiration for potential future shoots- great mixture of materials, textures, scales, sizes and colours.
Clean cut, crisp- this sort of minimal style would be well suited to our moncohrome branding and identity that is currently in progress of being designed by group members Matt and Chris- obviously all items would have to be in rostrum, two-dimensional format, of course.
Great idea for a new item- GRAPHICS TABLET! I'll definitely be bringing mine in to potentially feature in the photoshoot on Monday. Also, great angle of lighting- the shadowing creates a drop-shadow like effect which makes all the different items appear as if they are "jumping off the page".
Perhaps a little busy for our advertisement design- but, again, I love the character in this photo- so distinctive of a Graphic Design desk! Again, at a later date, we could make more promotional material- perhaps certain promotions with seperate items (such as "It's hip to be square- Buy one get one free on square format books and zines"- one idea I had!).
LOVE the colour scheme in this design- really well styled and considered. For this advertisement, unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to be this well organised in terms of prop colouring, and so on, but, again, a great consideration for potential future promotional designs (or even shop front window displays?).
"Over the next month, Michael C Place of Build
and Creative Review will be conducting a unique experiment. We are
going to document one month in the life of a graphic designer.
Mr Place (whose desk is shown above) has agreed to record everything
that he does during this period. Every piece of work. Every idea. Every
presentation. Every meeting."
Found this on the 'Creative Review' website- amazing! Totally in sync. Their photograph by designer Michael C Place, featured above, is crisp, clean and makes great use of natural lighting. Top stuff.
