I'm mainly inspired by other designers such as Alan Fletcher and NB Studios as I aspire to produce work in a similar minimal aesthetic at that high of a standard. I'm particular inspired by the range of conceptual ideas behind each of these designers work, especially NB Studios (see figure 1-2) work for the Almeida Theatre which challenges and questions traditional theatre in a bold and playful manner. In addition i'm also inspire by music as I have a wide taste in music from rock to country however my main inspiration come from artists such as Samm Henshaw, Fickle Friends, Coin and Saint Raymond as I tend to listen to these most. Furthermore the album artwork for many of these artist is also a source of inspiration in particular Fickle Friends and Coin (see figures 3-4) due to the variety of styles used across there artworks, in particular the use of colour within Fickle Friends (see figure 3) covers and the simplistic nature of Coin's covers (see figure 4).
