Layout Practitioner - 

Vogue- After the InDesign workshop and looking into layouts I feel like the Vogue Layout is one of the best. It’s a very big magazine company.The layout is smooth and makes you look at certain areas at a time. You look at the images first and then you see the titles and quotes next. The way you look at the page and the text is all positioning right, it helps because the images are art a different size and then this makes the image stand out more. This is a good company to follow as it is very successful and by studying their layouts and being inspired by this, it will lead to my work looking more professional and then standing out when moving forward for jobs.

Practitioners- 

Michael Steric- Micheal Steric is a Photographer who is based in Los Angeles. He uses his skills to change and manipulate the photos which he takes. He captures the light very well in the images. He makes the eye focus on a certain part of the picture due to the positioning of them, however, he doesn’t remove the background so the work seems very smooth and easy to look at. When he does blur the background he uses a small lens or certain area to show the actual image through which adds to the affect.       

Jeff Lombardo- Jeff Lombard is a Photographer who travels the world to collect his images. His photographs work really well and capture the views in a good way. His pictures look like they are in proportion and its very good to look at. His images always have a certain focus point and then the rest of the images works around that.

Practitioners - 

Evan Eckard - Evan Eckard uses hand drawn ideas and vectors them on Adobe Illustrator and also uses a program called Clip Studio. This allows you to draw symmetrical images and after using the program as well, it can be argued one of the best to draw the work in. This being because the pen tool is very responsive and connects to the grid easier and creates smooth vectors as seen in his work. He created logos, branding for companies (clothing designs) and creates images for games and work for gamers. As seen his work is very smooth and all has a similar style to this work.   

Malika Favre- Malika Favre’s work is very simple but extremely effective. This being because she works in vectors and builds layers of vectors for the detail. All her work has a similar feel and the colours in the work always match. She uses simple colours and then brighter ones to add affect in the work, which can be seen in the bottom image with red lips and red nails to make the work stand out more. Her work shows that you can create really positive and good work with simple vectors and by using block colours when in this work. 

Both practitioners work are very different but both show how effective illustration can be if done correctly.
