Illustrator and graphic designer Scott Campbell creates gig posters using geometry and vintage paperbacks as inspiration. His style is a distinct dark brand of retro-cool, and the posters are consistently conscious of age-old elements of design whilst transfiguring themselves as exclusive compositions.
Head over to Home Life for a brief yet concise interview with Campbell.

Andy Gilmore makes me feel simultaneously alone and interconnected. His illustrations reach out from their depths and spin out into instantaneous fractures, timing the space around them, breaking out into white wilderness of surrounding voids. His designs embrace colours, disciplined pauses in momentum, expeditions into confounded geometry and definitive statements in what makes things happen. There is an electricity in the blueprint of each of his designs that enforces the coexisting measures of light and darkness, of knowledge and the unknown.

Do investigate his multiple homes on the internet and open up these designs full page – their brilliance will engulf you. Also brilliant, and another platform Gilmore uses is the Space Collective, which branches out into multiple projects propelled by forward thinking terrestrials.
