Sara Fanelli


Sara Fanelli is an artist and illustrator who was born ion Florence but studied in London. As well as illustrating books she has also written a few such as sometimes I think I am which won an award in the D&AD.
Considering that I don’t really like children’s illustration that much I do really like this artist as it remind me of the work of Teesha Moore whose work I admire so much. I like the different textures and the patterns used in the image as this adds depth. I also like the fact it looks like it has been manually put together instead of just using a computer and I think many graphic designers spend too much time on the computer and never really experiment with doing manual work. The bright colours attract me to the work and the surrealism that the work projects also attracts me to Sara Fanelli’s work, and I think I would take inspiration form this artist in the future.
 
Even thought this is designed for children I think the surreal feel it has attracts adults also with the bright colours it would easily stand out. I like that it is a little bit creepy and the use of different techniques used makes it far more interesting to look at.
 
 
 
I really like how the colour has been kept simple in this image as it means you focus on the text more, The fact that many different fonts have been used I also really like and in my work I want to start experimenting more with type. I would really like to produce a piece of work like this as it looks like it would be fun to do and it would be something different as I doubt many graphic designers would use this style.
 
 

I didn't know that sara fanelli had designed stamps until now and when looking at the artists I was looking over the over of another stamp designer and I was really drawn to this and started to think it would be really interesting to design stamps when i'm older. I like how bright the could is and it would stand out a lot from the envelop. Even though I don't like the design on the stamp that much i'm glad i've seen a stamp that doesn't look boring, it looks like to would capture peoples attention and that is something I want my work to do.
