❤️🔥 A Playful Exploration of the Design Process
❤️🔥 Indigo Design Award’s 2023 Freelancer of the Year, Jesper Bolther, pushes the boundaries of contemporary design with the wacky and whimsical “We Love Graphic Design.” A fun fusion of old-school Photoshop and cutting-edge AI, and all the vast goodness in between, this project hits on the high points of the graphic design process in funky and unexpected ways by showing us what it could be if we only let our inner child run the show.
🌀 Bolther’s universe is both chaotic and charming, set to a playful soundtrack that simultaneously strips the design process of its seriousness and asks essential questions about the future of the art. He creates a virtual playground where the sky and your imagination are the limits. With ultimate freedom, creativity can blossom in the form of color-saturated 3D images, and tried-and-true Photoshop tools get repurposed for animation gradients.
🌀 Counterbalancing the fanciful journey are serious questions about AI and its influence on graphic design. It’s a delicious and deep layer cake where every bite is different. Enjoy the visual ride, or ask yourself serious questions about the craft. It’s up to you. Ultimately, that’s what makes Bolther’s design so effective; it’s a choose-your-own-adventure journey through the possibilities and pitfalls of graphic design.
❤️🔥 Do you have something to say about the future of graphic design or its endless applications and possibilities? We want to see it.
