SISCOTT

Si Scott was born in 1977 and has been interested in art since a very young age. He left school at sixteen and then he went to art College to do a BTEC in design and then a foundation course in order to study graphic design for two years at Buckinghamshire University College.

Si Scott is a full time artist and designer and is based in UK. His work is very unique and its style is a mixture of hand crafted and hand drawn art that has made him very popular. He has done designs especially for firms such as Nike, Hugo Boss, Orange, Boots, UNICEF, Casio and the BBC.

Interestingly, he worked for a couple of small design agencies where he learnt about the industry and using a computer. Whilst he was employed he worked on his own ideas and developed them as he was trying to be original. Alas, he got made redundant twice although he claims this was good for him as it pushed him more in order to succeed. Although he uses computers ‘to piece things together’ he is more creative by mainly experimenting freehand.

 Quotation

'' Mr. Oliver has always been and I guess always will be somebody who’s work I admire. Music, Fashion and books have also always been a massive influence on me also''

''Most of my inspiration comes from music I am constantly listening to music while I work and the lyrics especially. I’m really into words''

I love Siscott intricate and ornate monochrome lettering he beautifully illustrates and explores fonts in a way that I have never seen before. The compositions and scale of Siscott illustrations make them really unique and the limited use of colour give his work real visual impact all his work is hand made using paint, fine-liners and pen and ink sicott then tweaks his designs using the computer to add colour.

MY WORK

Over here you can see I did my name in Siscott style I extended the letters and made curves. Materials used pen/ink then scaned and added colour in photoshop I decided each letter should have a different colour.
