Danny Brown

Danny Brown is a multimedia designer, artist and programmer born in Liverpool in 1977. Daniel has a very good grasp with flash and html coding, with this and his love for design it is not surprising that he focuses on interactive multimedia. He has been recognised since 1999 as one of the top internet designers. Like most of the web designers of his era he got his inspiration from his video games he played as a child which would explain why his work it witty and full of humour.
I really like the images of the butterfly, I like how they still have the movement in the wings and the blur adds an interesting twist as most people like to have clean crisp images. The colours of the reds/yellows and oranges contract with the pale blue background. I also like how the images are shown in greyscale as well as colour, even though I prefer the colour images. I think in the future I would look at his work again as I’m interesting in doing multimedia and expanding on what I already know about coding.

Barnbrook

Barnbrook is a creative design studio located in London, over the years it has become increasingly popular and is now one of the best known studios in Britain. The company is a mixture of graphics and motion graphics therefore it is very visually strong and has worked on many different briefs for clients such as the BBC. The company has also created work for books; CD covers, websites and fonts, and currently releases the fonts they make to be used worldwide. In 2007 there work was exhibitions in the design museum in London.
As well as working for big companies like the BBC Branbrook also works with a lot of charitable organizations such as the British heart foundation and created an advert from them to promotion what the charity can offer people suffering with heart problems. I like how the camera angles around the heart in the center of the screen and how the fonts are all different which could link with how different people would relate to heart problems. I haven’t done any work with motion graphics but would like to start and feel that this advert is the type of style I would aim towards.

Yugo Nakamura

Yugo Nakamura was born in japan and is today considered the leading web designers of japan. He likes to ad humor into the work he creates and likes to create his work using his hands which explains the amount of interactivity his work involves for the users. In 2007 he won the Tokyo Interactive Ad Awards.

I like the interactivity that the features offer as it is little touches such as the moving colour boarders which will make the website popular and will therefore make people return to the page to see if there is anything else new to play with that has been added. I also like how there are noises as it adds another dimension to it and stops it being flat. With the clay work I like how it still looks rough and not as perfect as the other work as it makes it seem more real, I have always been interested in web design and the coding behind the features on pages and I’m glad I have had the chance to look through Yugo Nakamuras work.
