i especially like his illustrations and his use of triadic colours to create depths and shadows in his work.

the style of illustration is similar to Jeremy. this is something that i hope to explore in this project. also his use of just the 3 primary colours – red, blue and yellow, in different shades is so simple yet i must say complex during his creative process. to create something minimal yet complex is really tough.

(also this series of his Day Trippers is sooooo cute!)

i stumbled this series of illustrated posters while scrolling through Behance.

i absolutely love it. there’s definitely an interest in me on flat design. but what i adore most from these is that the use of colours to create depth and the 3D-ness in them. especially using darker tones to cast shadows in the design.

his use of triadic colours to create pop art, which he is known for. and really interesting way of using mixed media.

this artist used photography and illustrations on his painting. i was super intrigued when i stumbled upon this. i think its a really clever subtle and delicate way of creating art from photography.

definitely seeing them being feasible in a flat design illustration.

loving the use of split complementary to create visual contrasts in colour.
