Si Scott
He is a graphic designer from the Uk who is originally from Leeds but has moved around the country quite a bit, left school at 16 and went to Leeds College Of Art & Design Where he is now a part time lecturer , to study a BTEC in Graphic Design and then a foundation in Visual Communication, before going to Buckinghamshire Chilterns University to study a degree in Graphic Design. Upon completion he stayed in London for another 2 or 3 years and worked for a number of different small design agencies whilst continuing with my own work and freelance projects on the side.
Si Scott is the master of gorgeous, swirly, insanely intricate typography. And, unbelievably enough, it’s all drawn by hand with fine liners. Si has taken his whorls and flourishes and made them into a series of striking sea creatures for his Infectious art. “I imagine them bubbling across your laptop and walls and down the side of a car, like a moving aquarium”"I always start by picking a font I feel fits the brief or works with what I am trying to achieve the piece and then will play around with different page layouts for a while. The next pahse is to just bring the piece to life using fineliners to create the illustration. I always work bigger than the finsihed piece is going to be and scan the illustrations at 1000dpi at 125% so when it is decreased to the actual size it’s very crsip an clean". He says.
Most of his inspiration comes from music
