Inspirational Design: Matthew Lyons

Posted on January 15th, 2010 in Graphic Design, Inspiration.No Comments »

I am really thrilled and inspired by these images from Matthew Lyons. I originally ran across Matthew’s work on Scott Hansen’s (ISO50) blog. These give me a sense that I’m looking at an alternate version of the 1960s, but in the future (if that makes any sense). I get a dark, mid-century modern vibe from his style, which I love.

Here is a new poster that I’ve been working on.  It’s for my wife (born in 1981-who would have guessed).  She helped me pick out the patterns and colors.  I’m also working on one for myself, which will be entitled–you’ll never guess–est. 1980 and will follow a similar layout and design, so stay tuned for that.

Conquer Death

This is my second tattoo-inspired poster release, entitled Conquer Death.  Some of you may recognize the skull/wings design.  It’s actually a tattoo that I drew in memory of my Father, which I now have covering the inside of my right arm.  See the full poster design after the jump, or in my portfolio.

This is the first in a series of tattoo related designs that I’ll be releasing.  This post will also kick off a new category I’m creating, called Posters.  I’ll be spending a lot of my design time on some posters that I intend to have printed.  For now, they will all be 11×17, with the first couple being some tattoo inspired work.  Stay tuned, you may recognize the next one.  But, for now, check this one out.  It can also be viewed in my portfolio.

My wife and I just purchased the Dirt Devil KURV, designed by Karim Rashid.  Who wouldn’t want a hand vac that is functional and stylish?
