Website under development

I'm currently working on my own website! this will serve as both an online porfolio and blog to me! and hopefully a way for people to get in touch.

I've bought the domain and hosting. Http://aboutchris.co.uk ! Keep checking for updates

Yugo

- MetaDesign

MetaDesign is an online design company who's best aspect is corporate ID in my opinion, with clients such as Adobe, Nokia and McAfee. Very nice graphical devices. I really like this kind of work as it is very clean cut and effective. 

- Tomato

Online portfolio for the art and design collective co-founded by Rick Smith and Karl Hyde of Underworld. Produce television commercials, documentaries.

I find there work very inspiring and creative, but in most cases very impractical, such as their website. http://tomato.co.uk which i find very hard to navigate.

- Ronald Searle

Caricaturist, cartoonist, illustrator, designer and publisher. Ronald Searle was born in Cambridge on the 3rd March 1920, the son of a railwayman, and educated at Boy's Central School, Cambridge.

Searle has a considerable reputation as a printmaker and examples of his work are in a number of public collections, including the Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, the Prussian National Gallery in Berlin and various other museums in Germany and America.

I like this style of llustration as it is a quite unique style and is very imaginative.

- Pentagram

Pentagram is organized around its principals. They operate as equal partners and are all practicing designers. They work independantly or together depending on the project. These designers include:

Lorenzo Apicella

James Biber
Michael Bierut
Michael Gericke
Luke Hayman
Kit Hinrichs
Angus Hyland
Domenic Lippa
Abbott Miller
Justus Oehler
Harry Pearce
John Rushworth
William Russell
Paula Scher
DJ Stout
Lisa Strausfeld
Daniel Weil

I like their print and identity based work, although I dislike the website, find it very hard to navigate around and don't see it as a good representation of their work.

- Saul Bass

SAUL BASS (1920-1996) was not only one of the great graphic designers of the mid-20th century but the undisputed master of film title design thanks to his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Martin Scorsese.

I don't particularly like this type of work, it's not that I despise it, It's just that I feel it's quite outdated, although it was very pioneering in its day.
