Guillermo Bolin was a spanish illustrator who was picked up by vogue early on in his career, he specialized in art deco posters. One of his most recognisable and most loved pieces is of course, the great gatsby poster, which wasn't changed with exception for the lower wording when it was remade and released recently.
For our second week of Indesign we looked into laying out advertisements and magazines, above is my attempt at the task to lay out an advertisement similar to the reference material. We then moved onto magazine layouts, getting text to follow a pen tool line and placing text within other text areas and getting everything to look clean and sharp.
Our Guest lecture today was Ian Anderson from Designers Republic, an incredibly large business in the UK. He started out creating album covers for bands when he was at university and posters for gigs he did as a DJ. People started to love his work and came to him about making their band covers and he ended up creating Designers Republic. They have done some large jobs, working with The People Bureau, Coca Cola, Flesh Pure Holy Cow, Swatch Watch, and the Wipeout game for Playstation. http://www.madenorth.co.uk/ian-anderson-the-designers-republic/ < Here is some of their work.
