Entry number one

I have admired the work of Si scott for several years. Now one of the creative halves behind 'we are bitch' design studio (with Kerry Roper), Scott's work has always engaged me and has a very individual and identifiable style.

His signature swirls and spirals don't appear in this graphic image but i love how he combines hand drawn work with sharp text here to create an illustration.

It is simple, bold and effortless.

His work is often criticized for being generic as his signature swirly lines are so popular and saturated in the current design world. however, knowing that each intricate line is produced by hand and then only simple edited in software makes me really appreciate his raw skill. Although i sing the praises of his independant work, i am not a big fan of the wearebitch website. It looks good from a singular image perspective but i dont like the way the work is displayed so that the focus is on the 'arty' presentation rather than their amazing workv(which the majority of it really is!). It's hard to read and navigate around which isnt great for a market which is rapidly heading for online domination. Perhaps Scott sticks at the swirls for a reason!?

  1. I really like last of these images, the one that says "open"
    I always appreciate when someone can illustrate words in such a detailed manner.
