THE BEGINNING PART II- THE BOOK OF ELI

The second most inspirational movie....The Book of Eli.

THE INITIAL INSPIRATION-THE BEGINNING

I thought it might be good to actually post what it was that initially inspired me. I spent most of the christmas break watching and reading post-apocalyptic movies and books which sent me down the road I am on now. I sat and watched them all again in the mid session break and I know why I was so inspired. Some people might think its freaky and scary but this movie in particular is amazing and I could never get sick of watching it. Enjoy!!! and if you haven't seen the movie.....WATCH IT!!!!

HOW RAD!!

FASHION OF THE APOCALYPSE[VOGUE ITALIA EDITORIAL]

Amazing editorial from Vogue Italia. Whether it is a post-apocalyptic editorial it doesn't matter because its strong imagery can only imply a decayed and almost dystopian sentiment. The bright colours mixed with subdued, rag like clothing alongside the sculptural and heavy shapes is all inspiring and one of the better post-apocalyptic inspired editorials I have seen.

THE BOARD IN PROGRESS:NOMAD

While the boards are all over my room, this one in particular is everything that keeps me in touch with the mood I need to be in to design. It sits directly in front of me and can never be forgotten!! The war references are not direct links but they certainly evoke a heavy, survival instinct atmosphere which I am always trying to capture in my designs.
