Alan Fletcher - Part 2

Even though Alan Fletcher’s style is more post-modernist than modernist, I still find it challenging and very inspiring. His work is not quite as wild and bizarre as designers like Neville Brody or David Carson, and even though it is often colourful, his use of white backgrounds, as a contrast, tones it down.
Alan Fletcher’s use of many different typefaces and, more particularly, his own handwriting, shows his confidence in the knowledge and use of type, which is always an amazing skill to have as a graphic designer. I feel I should expand my knowledge of typography and Fletcher’s work really inspires me to do this.
Fletcher’s more artistic side is also really encourages me to work with mediums other than digital, such as paint, markers etc. Researching and looking at current designers really helps to put my own work into perspective and motivates me to work harder and get better.
