Sometime ago, before I got interested in street art and other tradicional medias, I was walking thru a street and stumbled with a graffiti artist painting a huge mural. I asked him how he could scale from such small drawing to a big wall like that, he said that this was due his experience and nothing more. Not satisfied with this simple answer, I found that after doing a few works on bigger scales I should share with you some tips on how transfer your artworks on bigger scales.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Perttu Murto, a 26-year-old graphic designer, art director and illustrator from Finland. Perttu has been involved in graphics for more than 8 years and his work has been featured in several prestigious design websites and magazines. In 2007 he was selected as the Young Advertisement Designer of the year in Northern Finland.
The book suggestion of this week is about colors, one of the most important skills for any designer. The book is called Color Design Workbook: A Real World Guide to Using Color in Graphic Design and it's not only a very useful book, it's a very well designed one.
