A one-time pencil-o-holic, I was really drawn to this tonal design by French artist and illustrator,
Charlotte Delarue.
Charlotte Delarue.
Like many of Charlotte's designs, 'No Future', created for 'Surface to Air' http://www.surfacetoair.com/
("boutique and creative studio" website brand) is creative, masterfully drawn with complete life-like portraiture accuracy and skill, but what really drew me in to this picture was the combination of the type and image- the B-Movie style mock 1970's horror flick writing- reminisant of such flicks as 'The Blob' from my childhood, growing up with the slightly naff, but also slightly brilliant terrors of American cinema.
I really liked the perspective of the layout of the type- bursting out of the image- shouting out to the viewer or reader.
Delarue's style translates over many different mediums- but her classyand sophisticated style is well- suited to a high end market- creating ironic, "kitsch cool" design.
