His work is very colourful, complex, illustrative, bold, playful and a little nutty however it is successful, and because of this he won a lot of awards one of them includes the MTV European music awards with the talented French band called Justice (Label: Ed Bangor). Below is the music video that won this award it was produced by So-Me. The style is very colourful. He uses a lot of solid colours in his work and this is why his artwork is popular with the youths. Colour is always adapted in his work to attract the audience it is particularly presented in this video, it still works even with a background that is in black and white. I hugely enjoyed the idea of the video I feel is was very engaging. What do you think of this video?
Some of his designs are influenced by artists in the past such as Andy Warhol, Manet, Hipgnosis: T-Rex album cover etc.
For instance:
Below is the famous Marilyn Monroe painting done by Andy Warhol, which uses a lot of bright colours. And next to this is the 'Sebastian Ross Ross Ross' album cover designed by So-Me. After looking at this cover I could immediately tell that he was inspired by Warhol previous work. The key give aways to this are the bold red lips and the use of light blue in the eye.
Overall I think So-Me is very inspiring to me. I like his illustrative style and use of typography it gives it a personal, friendly atmosphere. I would love for you to let me know what do you think of his work?
