INTERVIEW

Shinybinary

INTERVIEWDESIGNFLIP ISSUE #01|01.2007

I’m a 24 year old web designer from Oxford in the UK. I have no trainingin art or design, having studied for a degree in physics. I got intoPhotoshop during my time at uni accidentally and haven’t looked backsince! Nowadays I spend my day time writing web code and designing pagesand my evenings drawing random crap.


ISSUE #01|01.2007

2. Who are some of your artistic influencer? What is it about their workthat inspires you?

I find it very hard to single out one person who influences me.Basically there are hundreds of peoples work I see online and inmagazines now who inspire me to produce my own stuff. Anything new andexciting that I haven’t seen before is bound to make me want to go offand make something of my own.


This is actually the first of the series of which ‘sick’ is the second, but because of the way the new Depthcore packs were split I can only release this now. It wasn’t meant to be a violent picture, more about representation of pain, but somewhere along the lines it slipped into gore :}

3. How would you describe your style of work?

Digital, random, eye candy. I produce pictures to be visually impactingand nothing more, it’s all about the feeling it gives me when I look at it.

Double page illustration for Computer Arts. They wanted something with 3D text and ornaments and who am I to argue... ;) Focus had to be all on one side as well so it could be used as the cover if necessary. Not sure when the mags out, I really hope one of the 101 ideas isn’t about not stealing Firefox’s colour scheme...


ISSUE #01|01.2007

4. Could you tell us about your creative process?

It varies a lot but so many of my pictures have just started by meopening up and messing about in Photoshop until I see something I like.Often a point will then come when I see an end picture I want to create,and from there it’s just a case of finishing it off.

5. What is your favourites design tools?

Well I guess Photoshop is my favourite design tool by a factor of 10 orso. I spend 90% of my time in it, only dipping into other programs whenI want a particular effect PS can’t manage. Without Photoshop I’d haveprobably ended up working in a bank or something.

I am releasing this updated version of Athena to celebrate it being on the cover of

this month’s Digit magazine: [link] Basically I just replaced a few details I was unhappy

with, tightened up the brushing, fiddled with the lighting and colours and improved the quality of some of the bits that had gone a bit blurry at the back. I consider it a better

version anyway. Just been to Canada for a bit and so not really active in making new stuff but I have a bunch of ideas to

start working on and a few more magazine thingies coming up.



ISSUE #01|01.2007

This is my rather loose interpretation of the story of Icarus. It’s actually an older, ‘colour test’ version, made before the final image which you can see on my site. I thought it would

be more interesting to put this version up rather than exactly the same one that’s been on show elsewhere for a month

already. Thanks to =NullVoiD for letting me use an old render of his in some of the details, very useful it was too :}

Great stock from =resurgere

Oh and it was my birthday yesterday, so this is my first submission as a 24 year old :} I’m getting too old for this

game :{

6. What accomplishments are you most proud of?

My website, it’s taken a lot of work and time and the amount of feedbackI get on it nowadays is very satisfying. It was also nice to be calledComputer Arts’ favourite Photoshop artist, that was cool. Oh and thet-shirts I had done with the Imaginary Foundation, that has been a bigthing for me.

7. where’s your idea ussually come from?

I have no idea, outer space or something. They just pop into my head,which is handy.



ISSUE #01|01.2007

After the rather muted tones of ‘never’ I felt like going a bit overboard in the other direction and produce something re-

ally bright and cheerful. It’s the first time in a while that I’ve produced something purely in Photoshop without some photo

or render as a starting point (a few of the extra details around the edge were done in Illustrator though).

I also wanted to make something like this for DC’s Deluxe packs as the whole feel of deluxe was colourful and vibrant in my mind. It would have been a shame not to have at least one

eye candy piece there :}

8. What your favourites website?

I love visiting Deviantart for all the new talent, and Computerlove forkeeping an eye on the world of art and design. Of course Design diary isgreat for that too ;)

9. Shinny Binnary for 5 Years Later?or some secrets project at 2007?

Shinybinary for ever! I have no plans for 5 months later let alone 5years. I think 2007 will see my first work appearing in books, and if acurrent project goes ok art galleries too... that will be prettyexciting. Onwards and upwards I guess.Often a point will then come when I see an end picture I want to create,and from there it’s just a case of finishing it off.

DESIGNFLIP ISSUE #01|01.2007

Diskomfest, an event made by the Visual Communication Design(DKV) of Indonesian Institute of Art Yogyakarta (ISI Yogyakarta) community -by inviting all institute or college of DKV in Indonesia,- which is held once in every two years is already a number two. The first Diskomfest was held on September 2004 by carrying a theme called “Study Hard Play Hard,” while Diskomfest #2 which was held this year (2006) on 6-9 Desember at the Vredeburg For-tress, Yogyakarta, carry the “Challenging Heroes” theme and having Graphic Design Exhibi-tion, Advertising Seminar with Gandhi Suryoto (Creative Director Dentsu), Graphic Design Creative Sharing with Godot Praesta (owner of www.godote.com) and Ade Herdian (www.flashidinteractive.com), Motion Graphic and Animation Creative Sharing with Wahyu Aditya (the Head Director of hellomotion), Comic Creative Sharing with Beng Rahardian(commicus) and Asnar zacky, Award, Bazaar, and last but not least is Music, included in the agenda. The Exhibition, which is the main agenda for this time Diskomfest is showing the student’s cam-pus-assignment work, experimental artwork, teacher’s artwork, High School’s Award delega-tion work, and other institute delegations artworks such as DKV UNS-Solo, Red Army Comic Club of Malang State University (UM)-Malang, DKV Universitas Indonusa Esa Unggul (UIEU)-Jakarta, Akademy Desain Visi Indonesia (ADVI)-Jogja. On the last day we present a live music show -including major or indie band, DJ, and also sexy dancer- to be an instant reunion event with those who have finished their study at DKV ISI Yogyakarta, and also to entertain delega-tion who have come to Diskomfest, not forget to mention the delegation from DKV Universitas Bina Nusantara (BINUS)-Jakarta, DKV UK PETRA-Surabaya, and DKV Padang University.

To begin from an after class chat, Diskomfest was created as an action of trying to make a major agenda out of KMDGI (Kriyasana Mahasiswa Desain Grafis Indonesia) which we feel too restrictive for our big imagination and creativities -beside that it cost too much in order to able participate. Thus, we try to introduce the world of DKV as a whole, not only the visual art, but we try to show the process behind that piece of artwork, until the live style that is exist among our community in DKV ISI Yogyakarta. Doing this, we consider pupil as the target who will absorb the potential of communication design world and feel the impact of the existency of communication design world, thus will create a mutualism interaction between pupil (including industri) dan the world itself, eliminating the negative oppinion that arose in publik, saying that the work of communication design is not educative and often cross the border of society custom, until the oppinion that says to design is an easy job thus make a design is not being appropriately appreciated. Many other form of public misunderstanding about the profession, and the knowledge, and the world itself, is not supposedly to happen when there’s a media which able to give information and a container that acts as a catalyst between the society and world of communication design-whether the work or the people. And we are using Diskomfest as a benchmark to our power to measure anything we’ve learn and get dan further more is to know self power-map, though it’s not completely work out, but Dis-komfest surely is expected to be out stepping stone to a better way for our almamater, DKV ISI Yogyakarta.

These works try to represent how a future landscape looks like according to ideas about how science may alter our whole world. They represent kind of minimalistic and balanced approach,though “friction” suggest that the overall domination of technology may not be as peaceful as one hopes.

ISSUE #01|01.2007

I am currently a student at Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis Minnesota, majoring in Graphic Design. My art inter-est started out as traditional drawing, as I grew older I merged the digital art medium along with my traditional skills. This had lead my work to go into new directions. Since then I have been using photo-shop on almost all my work. From adjusting levels on drawings, to creating images from scrap, the possibilities are endless.

I have been using adobe photoshop for about 5 years now. It is all about just finding a creative touch to ideas you are wanting to pro-duce in the program.


Digital Threads DuexWas playing around with different themes and looks to create a futuristic composure. This features some simple 3D foundations with line work, addi-tional glows,and objects in Photoshop. Its tough to make your 2D additions in a perspective match with your 3D backgrounds. Though you can re-ally create some interesting visuals with mediums on different platforms. There is also a few bits of typography and shape work involved as well.

ISSUE #01|01.2007

Open Expression.This image was created for the Oxygenetic Artgroup I’m apart of. The theme for the art release was “freestyle”. One particular idea I wanted to get across was the mixture of both traditional drawing skills and digital manipulation. This then laid out the foundation for an image that would portray a freestyle creation in the making. The main background was created by scanning some dirty copy pa-per and adjusting the levels to create a dotted grainy background.


Once that was established, I then began to draw various objects using the pen tool, and created different patterns to give the image a “print “ like feel.

Then a few custom ink brushes I created had allowed me to achieve a splattered ink effect on all the illustrations. The main thing I took into consideration here is to really watch how to use blending modes. Making sure the right colors turn out in different modes can be tricky, so you have to backtrack and make sure you get the right colors before you blend. After all line work, color, and objects were in place, finally came the addition of the spray paint thug stock image.

ISSUE #01|01.2007

Naature Clothing ( Series 2 shirts)Second in line for my poster production at George Smiths and Jason Kriegers Naature Clothing. I wanted to find a way to mix all the shirts in together with the various objects , custom illustrations, and texture effects that would definitely catch attention. This randomized design really makes a regular idea interesting if you can execute your placement right. This type of design is really nice for experi-menting with new ideas.


ISSUE #01|01.2007

Morning MapWas experimenting with different shapes and object pat-terns here While the objects were being produced, I want-ed to show a map like effect with some contrasting color masks. After it was all done, the document looked more like a chaotic color test than anything. Various typogra-phy and placement ideas were executed here as well , that follow by a few foundational principles of graphic design. This was also a print media test for some color work I was straightening out .


ISSUE #01|01.2007

AmoebicThis image was created for the Oxygenetic Artgroup I am apart of. This image was a collaborative effort with my Friend Mike Harrison(http://www.destill.net/), who is also apart of the group. The image was first send to me with most of the foundation and objects already laid out. The background was a stock image and was heavily edited to support Mikes additions of circles and foundational work. Many masks and blending modes were used to show off the full array of colors blended into each object and background. From there 2D linework and objects were added using the pen tool once again. The style and form of these lines were made carefull to fit the contour of the shapes they were surrounded by. These layers were placed along with the masks to blend in with the rest of the image. The theme for the image was freestyle, so I worked to create an interesting blend of shapes to give off an organic and vivid feel.
