CargoCollective

Earlier this week, a friend of mine who is off at university shared a link with me which led to a collection of beautifully designed posters by the artists/art director Shauna Mae. These are minimalistic designs with few colours, but to me this makes them even more appealing. Take a look yourself here

I can relate to this artist is that they don't have a set style, which is what I struggle with. I cannot seem to stick to a certain style as I want to explore many, and not just be stuck doing the same style all the time. Although the styles are different, the majority of them relate to one another as they have a simple shape and line style, with the use of empty/negative space helping draw attention to the designs. An element of Mae's work that catches my eye is the colour. They don't stick to a colour scheme, but some of the colours they use within each artwork blend together subtly, where-as others contrast strong against each other, giving the artwork a certain pop that just makes you look. 

After further research into the website cargocollective.com, I have discovered that it is a personal publishing platform for various creative areas, from photography to digital. It is a great way of finding new and contemporary artists, or even students to reflect from and be inspired by. However, I don't think I'd use this site to search for artists that much, as it doesn't feature that many graphic designers, which is my specialism.
