"Baseball"

This is the original released album cover for the Say Anything album "Baseball". The image doesn't seem to have any correlation to the title of the album, which is a fairly standard trend for album covers in an alternative genre. When compared to the other album covers, this one is definitely the least relevant to the music content or the title of the album.

Strong Stuff

"Strong Stuff" is the design company of illustrator and designer Tom Whalen. He has a minimalist illustration style with a really cartoony feel which fits perfectly to all of his work, especially the Disney posters below.







Matthew Woodson

Woodson is almost exclusively an illustrator from southern Indiana. He has a really kinda of realistic style to illustration and most of his work is really impressively detailed. It holds a comic book style but in much more detail, and then some of his work is kind of reminiscent of editorial design. It is not much a style that I really use or want to include in my briefs, but impressive nonetheless.







James Jean

James Jean is an illustrator and designer born in Taiwan who lives and works in California. His style ranges a lot, but always focusses around some kind of illustration, almost always a human figure or animal (rarely completely abstract).








Jon McNaught

McNaught is an illustrator that I can't find very much about at all except a whole lot of work.











Invisible Creature

Invisible Creature are a design company who focus mostly on illustration and illustrative design. They have clients like Nike, Nickelodeon and MTV but also a lot of smaller clients. Their work has a range of styles depending on the client and the requirements.







Chris Ware

Chris Ware is an illustrator and animator and part of the collective "Drawn and Quarterly". His work has a really cool simplistic, cartoony style. It is really easy to look at and the animations are smooth and fairly realistic for the style.
