Si Scott

Si Scott is a UK-based illustrator his intricate, entirely hand-drawn technique has seen his work commissioned by the likes of Nike Europe, UNICEF, Casio and the BBC as both an illustrator and art director.He's renowned for his unique style, blending hand-crafted and hand-drawn artwork that has gained him numerous awards and a prestigious client list. So far in his career he has completed projects for Matthew Williamson, Vogue, Nike, Tiffany & Co and Sony to name a few. As well as contributing to advertising campaigns for Guinness, Absolut and American Express. Si has recently taken time out to develop his skills further. Challenging the 2D perspective of his work by rendering his hand drawn creations in 3D form.

Si Scott extends and manipulates Typography and letteforms by extending his ascenders and descenders making them more detailed using swirls on the descenders.In some of his work he takes the first letter and expands it making that the detailed letter whilst all the other letters are in the same style. He also trys to blend in different shapes with the letters and the colours he uses to expresses it. I find his lettering really interesting because of the way he decided to elaborate on either in the middle of two or three words or in the middle of a word. His use of swirls/spirals going in different directions and his colour use really makes you have a sense of feeling when looking at his work.
