Kate Moss

Also I thought of a more recognizable face for elegant. Some people may think she isn't but when you see pictures from magazines suck as Vogue (right) I think she comes across as quite elegant indeed.

Rita Hayworth

I thought of Rita Hayworth when I thought of elegance, but once again not a a lot of people seem to know who she is (not my target audience anyway) so I may have to re-think.

Lance Armstrong

After finding out that my poster for Skinny Ships 'strive' wasn't effective enough because not a lot of people know who Jesse Owens is, I decided to stick to the athlete theme and one of the first people that came into my head was Lance Armstrong. He strived to beat cancer and go on to win seven tour de frances, I found a pretty amazing photo to illustrate the point as well.

Aesthetic Apparatus

These are some photo montage peices from Aesthetic Apparatus.  They use old recycles images from magazines and books to create finishes for mainly band and gig posters, all of which are silkscreened.

After the crit I realized that my headlines were mainly shit, apart from one which I could have a lot of fun with, so photo montage is the next stage in the development. Next headline - How Strong is and x-ray scanner?

Kate Gibb - Stussy Prints

These are some silkscreens from Kate Gibb for Stussy. They are mad simple but really really cool. The colours are amazing and its done quite easily. Then some subtle hints of illustration in some of them.

Kate Gibb - Silkscreen Artist

Kate Gibb is a silkscreen artist of-course. This video pretty much sums up the style, meaning and feeling that silkscreening gives you when you use it.

Type Over Photo

This type over the image looks amazing, the type of style that I'm looking for for Skinny Ships. But its obviously not silkscreened.

Rose Stallard

Rose Stallard is the girl that designs everything for print club London. Her style is very quick and easy but it all looks really cool and simple.

Steve Harrington / National Forest Design

New designs for t's from National Forest Design. Steve Harrington's design company, not his personal projects. The t-shirts look amazing, especially the black and white halftone and image ones. I am thinking of using halftone and image for one of my next briefs as it creates such an amazing effect.

Substrate

This is a small brochure with an introduction to silkscreening. I love they way the whole thing is silkscreened apart from the photo's. A real nice introduction to it.

Tits Brand

This a t-shirt company called Tits Brand. Its fairly self explanatory, but most of their deigns are big half tones. I want to silkscreen big half tones for my skinny ships brief so these are pretty good examples of how to do it well.

Paristokyopempelfort

I really like these prints, even though they are only three colour they look like a whole lot more.

One of two designs done for the Carne Tour.

Artist: Doma.
3 color screenprint on 300g Munken Lynx stock.
Din A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Signed & numbered, edition of 50.

2 Sick Bastards

These are t-shirt designs from the 2 Sick Bastards. I want my posters to be designed in a similar way, using haliftones on images and type, maybe 2 colours.

The type will make the image ironic or vise verse.

Kate Gibb

Two covers that are now being produced as silk-screen prints. Good, simple patterns and colours.
