Concept evaluation.

Stuart McLachlan

This is one my my most favourite design/concept. Stuart wanted to create a classic scene from the King Arthur tales of the "Lady of the Lake" story in an unique new style for both the area of fashion and advertising. With that idea, he hand cut the paper to create all of the illustration, layer by layer to produce such stunning, amazing finished art. He really went into the concept, the lady model in the middle of the paper layers looked like she's surrounded in a lively marine world, the bottom of a magic lake. 

He collaborated with Photographer Simon Cardwell to setup the scene in the studio, sticking up all huge size of paper illustrations. And yes, we can still see the sophisticated technique in creating paper illustration from the finished digital art. Even though the final art is digital, it is unique for the way he built the scene not from the computer but his dexterity. It was totally nicely done!

    You have a very keen eye for spotting trends. The typography theme was terrific but you failed to actually write an analysis of the trend. Maybe it might inspire you to design your own fonts for a project somewhere down the line.

    The way you explained the concept behind Stuarts illustration was very insightful. Keep up the good work.
