Research Task

Ilovedust.com
This webpage showcase’s the design work of the company I love dust,
It is a design group made up of 11 designers’. I decided to research their work as they combine
computer based work along with illustrations. I especially like their works as they have unique design ideas; most of their pieces use large amounts of illustrations, being a drawer a lot of their work appeals to me.









This is a screen of the animation they use on the homepage. They’ve made this very simple idea of writing “ilovedust” look detailed and modern, by creating a blocky bold text. And having little animations work all around the banner. For example the speech bubble in the top left corner is constantly spinning. Also the idea keeps its simplicity by using 5 main colours- white, green, pink, blue and yellow. This keeps this banner simple but the colours flow well together.

















This was a design piece for Nike basketballer Caremelo Anthony. This piece uses a simple image of the player with a busy illustration, which gives it a unique appeal. All of the illustrations relate to the player and his sport, such as the cars, streets and flag to represent the player. And the basketball’s and sports arena’s to represent his sport. the background image is bland so the use of black and white for the illustrations don’t look out of place and fit well together. This idea appeals to me, and would help me for future projects as I try to get my drawings skill incorporated into my work as much as possible.
