MONKI

In Sweden, Scandinavia, we have a company called "Fabric Scandinavia" and since 2008 they are a part of the big clothing fashion industry H&M-Group. Fabric Scandinavia is mostly designing clothes for the younger population and has become very big due to there unisex clothing, experiments with colors and pattern but also for their more independent style. Fabric Scandinavia has a few own brands that are well known, among them are Cheap Monday, Weekday and Monki the biggest. Below I have chosen three pictures from the store Monki. They are not only trying to sell and show you clothes but also by creating these black little creatures in their little world you can see that they are working a lot with design and to create a certain feeling for you as a costumer.

MORE ERWIN


This is just so cool, its amazing how he can put pictures together and create this really interesting image!
Röyksopp is a Norwegian electronic music duo that I listen to a lot and they always have a cool and artistic design on their album covers where they often just use simple shapes and geometrical figures together to create an interesting image





ERWIN OLAF

Erwin Olaf is a Dutch photo artist who is very well known for his way of mixing photojournalism with studio photography. He wants his work to reflect social issues and taboos in a highly stylized and cunning mode of image making. His work is often highly regarded and he has received many awards for his art pieces. One of his  most famous art works are "Chessmen" where each photo represents an image of a chess player piece and I am so fascinated of his sharpness, surrealistic and interesting way of showing them.




This picture is from the movie "Pan's Labyrinth" and I really like the feeling you get from looking at it. Taking some inspiration from the color scale and the shapes of the trees for my composition.
