Today we had a lecture from London based Graphic Artist Emily Alston, known as "Emily Forgot." Emily showed a variety of work both commissioned and personal projects for a diverse range of clients. Emily's work shows a wide variety, with anything from illustration, retail display, print design and visual identity she "prides herself on approaching all briefs with creative thought, originality, humour and beauty in mind." Embracing the odd, the everyday & the sometimes surreal with playful visual language and image making.The subtle use of colour added in to Emily's work really helps to bring it to life as it is not too overpowering. One piece of work that particularly caught my attention was the large scale designs for the Selfridges parade. As I have been looking at working large scale over easter hearing Emily talk about how she went about working at such a scale was really helpful. Overall a good talk with some nice, interesting work.
