Icon Designer - Carlos Grangel
Having previously studied film at a level I was always inspired with the work of Tim Burton. Having research Tim I came across Carlos Grangel the creator and designer of many of the characters within his animated films such as Corpse Bride and Hotel Transylvania.
One of the things I really admire from Grangel's work is the use of exaggeration. How he can make a character be unhealthily elongated to being overweight. There is no inbetween which creates a unique and dynamic style.
Another feature that I really like about Grangel's work is realism he is able to create on his character's either that be by features or expression. This use of visual storytelling is a great example of how characters or icons can be portrayed and I intend to achieve the same aspect of expression within my own icon set.
