This is another post from one of our readers work! This time we will present the great work of Scott Pollard. Scott has 27 years old, is a designer and illustrator based in the UK and has around 5 years of experience in the industry. At college he took fine arts and communication along with photography, and to keep evolving his work and acknowledgment he specialized in photography and web design.
Besides being very talented Scott is also very kind and for sure is a really passionate and enthusiastic designer as you can check by his own words below.
It all first started with music and myspace. I began creating identities for bands and they became my audience along with their fans. Along side this I was developing my graphic design and illustration which was also being shown on my website. I have always looked at design in a intriguing way and always wanted to understand the way people think. The exploration of this process naturally took me into branding and thats where I am now.
I have studied a lot over the years and I feel that it has all come together to form a solid foundation of how I approach design. I do not see design as a job, yes it pays the bills, however my life is fully immersed in many aspects of design and communication. I constantly feel the urge to communicate my work and I strive to discover new and different ways to get my message out. Sometimes it might be on a pair of trainers or a big doodle on some card and then I publish it on to the internet for everyone to see.
I have always felt that a designer should be massively proactive, open to understanding new things and strive to communicate to the world in many different ways. Oh and love every minute of it!
To check out more pieces from Scott go to his Portfolio and also to his Behance Profile. As for me, I really liked his work and his words. :)
So, enjoy it!
