Si Scott 24.03.09
Illustrator / Typographer Si Scott visited and gave an insight to his career as a designer. Scott's career began when he received a DN&D award for his third year final project at university. In his erlier study as a designer Scott had a perticular interest in creating imagery out of type and creating his own fonts. For his final project Scott made a screen printed pull out poster about the history of Northen Soul Jazz music, which then folded into a seven inch vinyl sleave.
Recieving this award gave Scott a placement opportunity at Vince Frost design agency which lasted three months before he began working freelance. By creating some contacts over design blog's Scott soon found him self selected to exhibit his work in Tokyo which later led onto another solo exhibition in London.
These exhibitions gave Scott the opportunity to work with some majour brand identeties such as Orange Mobile phones and PSV football club. Scott's work today is promenantly made hand drawn and then scaned and edited on the computer
.Scott has a perticular attention detail within his work and finds inspiration from work produced by other designers using a more traditional approach.
I perticularly enjoyed this lecture, Si Scott took a much less formal approach to the lecture making it a more appealing aproach for the listener. All his work was very inspiring but I found a perticular interest in his final year project whilst at university. Luckely Scott baught a copy in and I was fortunate to have a closer look after the lecture. It was interesting to see how his style of work had changed so maraculously since leaving university.
