Si Scott was born in 1977 and has been interested in art since a very young age.  He left school at sixteen and then he went to art College to do a BTEC in design and then a foundation course in order to study graphic design for two years at Buckinghamshire University College.

Si Scott is a full time artist and designer and is based in UK.  His work is very unique and its style is a mixture of hand crafted and hand drawn art that has made him very popular. He has done designs especially for firms such as Nike, Hugo Boss, Orange, Boots, UNICEF, Casio and the BBC. Interestingly, he worked for a couple of small design agencies where he learnt about the industry and using a computer. Whilst he was employed he worked on his own ideas and developed them as he was trying to be original. Alas, he got made redundant twice although he claims this was good for him as it pushed him more in order to succeed.   Although he uses computers ‘to piece things together’ he is more creative by mainly experimenting freehand.

In class we were shown his work and encouraged to copy his style. We did this by choosing any four fonts on the computer of our names, printing them off and then taking inspiration from his style and created graphic images. Two of these designs which I liked the most can be found on page 11 of my work book. I have also copied a swan’s head which he drew as I wanted to experiment on something other than a letter.    We have also been constructing a mural and had to illustrate objects around a letter and in my one I have created a plant with the swirls which resemble his style.
