YOUTH DOES IT

Yes, more graphic design/typography. It's well worth it. 

Today presenting a guy who's studying a BA at University of Cumbria. He's young and talented. Nicholson works a lot to expand his portfolio, you can see that on his blog. His style is very easy but defined. Using simple ways to achieve awesome results.

His work 'The Informer' is very expressive, using a few basic colours and low budget paper he gets our attention rapidly. The typography of his redesigned newspaper is super effortless, he just let's topics and articles flow and you just can't resist to flip through.

On Gary's account there's loads to be found. Posters, logos, typeface, website layout etc.

She had the opportunity to study arts but not only. She did a BA in Japanese at University of Wisconsin. Pretty cool, right?

What made us notice Becca was her art work for a book cover. It's a cut out. The entire book is illustrated that way. Personally, we think you should just check it out, there's not much we can add about this project. It's simply awesome.

Becca also likes her watercolours and uses them very wisely. If looking for inspiration in technique, we're pretty sure you'll find a lot in her portfolio and sketchbook.

Today's youth is an undergratuate at Sabanci University, Turkey.

As a school project Berke illustrated a Turkish nursery rhyme 'Bir Berber'. In a unique way showing a lot of influence of the greatest cubistic artists, Picasso, Braque or Gris. The illustration seems very simple but there's a catch to it. Doganoglu show's his interest in the lately common trend of 'unfinished' paintings. No faces, no arms etc.

Apart from this illustration you can find more of his paintings on his deviant art site: berkedoganoglu.deviantart.com Also you can flick through his photography achievements. And for a start it seems quite promising. 

Still, illustration and painting seem to be Berke's strongest.

Today presenting a young, free spirited and well good looking bloke from Zoliborz, Warsaw, Poland - Pietro.

He has been working as an assistant for a great photographer duo - Zuza Krajewska and Bartek Wieczorek, at their fashion, editorial and commercial shoots. He's gained great knowledge at their side + he's a BA student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan. Where he's got the possibility of deepening his creativity.

Recently with a couple of friends Pietro has set up an AWESOME workshop called Suffit and they plan to have exhibitions there, all sorts of speeches by artists for artists and anyone else interested. Its a great interior, has a photography wall and is situated in the lovely backstreets of Suzina.

Patryk's work is mainly conceptual. He's got a great eye and beautiful esthetics. He works strictly in analogue and complains about the lack of film distributors, Kodak going bankrupt and hating the colours of Impossible Project's polaroid films.

In his project 'Light' Pietras wants to show his perception of the materialization of light. Taking photos of his friends hidden under a 'sheet of light'. 

Also apart from checking out the sourced link to today's post, check out his pietropietras.blogspot.com where as he calls it, updates his DON'TS.

A student at SVA. A New Yorker, born and bred. 

Observing the streets, people, reactions and emotions Luca paints artworks. Most of them quite disturbing, stirring and thoughtful. Like 'Study of a Winner' where presenting a deformed, deteriorating face. As if it was a doll, empty and disconnected.

Donofrio has a technique of thick layers and splashes of oil on canvas. Experimenting with form, the 22 y/o artist attracts attention to a heavy and overwhelming style.

Reading light as if it was a moment away. Unfinished, discontinued images provoke thoughts, we as recipients need no more.

Yes, 2 days in a row with drawing and illustration. Might seems a bit boring and repetitive. But trust me Anne Emond is worth it. How could I've noticed her just today?! 

Emond's illustrations bring back thoughts of Jean-Jacques Sempe and Quentin Blake. Her style is very cool and ideas are cynical and sarcastic. Thanks to studying art history she admits it broadened her mind on inspiration and supported her with knowledge about core artists.

The attention around Anne is huge. Her blog is full of great, hilarious mundane rituals and situations. It strikes you when you notice the same circumstances in a cosmopolitan, single life, the one many lead living in a large city.

Seriously, start following Emond + if anyone's interested, she's open for taking commissions. 

Matt Bergbauer, a very promising illustrator/painter living and working in Chicago. He graduated in 2009 with a BFA at MICA, Baltimore where he was born and raised.

Bergbauer took part in several exhibitions. Where in most of his works he portrays his family members in charcoal. His unique technique and way of distortion makes deformed and caricatural images serious, poignant and stirring. 

He's presented a great series of self-portraits in which he uses form and lighting to effectively challenge viewers. Matt has also done great commissioned work, family portraits in charcoal but also paint on canvas.

His awesome malfunction in imaging creates a great body of work which is consistent and stable.

Matt Bergbauer is yet another hopeful and propitious youth worth following.

Ok, we've posted about his partner - Kasia Bielska a few posts ago. And now it's time for Dominik.

His style is very light. Very profound lighting.

In his series 'Size 36' he shows people who are skinny and he tries to outcome their disabilities in society. Photographing his friends, models and others the effect is awesome.

It's great to see how Tarabanski keeps his style and evolves it in many ways. In 'Lightness' he takes photos of places, things that bond him with his beloved Kasia.

No matter if it's art photography or commercial Dominik loves to keep his portfolio intact.

On a daily basis, our youth works in I.T. and leads a highly notorious social life. Try to find him out somewhere in the clubs and bars of Cracow.

Raised in India, educated at Parson New School for Design in NYC. 

Pegu's fresh and innovative works blow away with huge formats. Done great pieces for a Mumbai shopping centre. Anuranjan collaborated with Pepsi and it's pretty had to call the artist emerging.

What about the Halloween poster?

We really don't know what to say. We're simply amazed.

Although our today's youth isn't much of a youth anymore as she is 30 y/o, her art is very innovative and fresh.

She completed UCLA's department of Art and continues working in the filed of painting. 

Her main media is oil on canvas and her hand is steady but heavy. With thick splashes of paint her technique is comparable to Van Gogh's. And her visions are very Sasnal inspired.

Here at YOUTH DOES IT (and today's post comes from Sopot - a beautiful city in north Poland) we find Awad's body of work 'War Games' incredibly surreal. She shows combat scenes not in a way we'd imagine them. For example 'Olympia' or 'Disco'.

In sculpture today we've got this bright new, fresh talent from Sydney, Australia. Samantha Jones. Yeah, we know - not Samantha from Sex and the City but Samantha from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales. Absolutely brilliant.

So her idea for sculpting is letting objects do their own thing. WTF? Yup. Her enthusiasm strikes us way over. 

Here it is: her projects are little fantasies. Jones lets chairs, windows, tables and other recyclables join a playful game of 'Window Prism'. Where 'stuff' found around her home and neighbourhood come to life in different forms. Like the image posted above - 'Ship'.

She's a BFA student and yet there's so much more to come.

Today presenting a great young photographer from Poland. With her unrealistic technique and approach, it's Kasia Bielska.

Bielska, who works as a model booking agent collides with the fashion industry on a daily basis. She works with young girls who are about to start an overwhelming career. That's how her project 'It's now or never' came up. She took photos of girls only dressed in underwear. The apparel that would show their infancy.

Kasia finds this as a major problem in the fashion world. That's also the reason why she decided to work on this project. In Poland and Europe it was received with great applaud.

Bielska is mainly into fashion photography, collaborating with stylists and also sometimes with her partner - Dominik Tarabanski.

Faggiani, a graduate of Central St. Martins in Graphic Design, is an illustrator with a very clean and recognizable skill.

In his 'The Parts of a Book' project he maximizes his knowledge in typography, packaging and illustration to achieve an overall effect of high class design. Michael plays with our mind with this piece, communicating through design as a new language.

Also Faggiani is pretty awesome in packaging and branding. He labelled Italian wines. All of them the same but labelled differently, as if to mix up the consumer, trick him into buying not by quality but by the look. Very crafty..

What Michael showed us is overwhelming. He's got more projects on his account and they are really worth checking out, so don't hesitate.

Plaud, who finished her higher education at TAFE, doing a graphic design course is a great youth we're proud to present today.

Not only she works in various techniques, she's an awesome street artist. Stenciling is her strongest.

Her style is fresh and cool. Mixing pop art with a Disney classics, crafts and fashion. Exposing Australian politics she sets her word and goes for it. Not afraid to express what's on her mind Abbey kicks and thrusts through art.

At times subtle and kind and at others rough and raw.

A young but highly mature lad from the UK presenting menswear. Who has just recently done a BA at Central St. Martins in London.

His collection is inspired by his great uncle, an Olympic rower. Naval features, stripes, light colours and great textiles. 

What is fascinating about Matt's clothes is the connection between tradition and trends. He worked up awesome and comfortable cuts and mashed them up with elegant designs. Pret-a-porter for streets but also you could wear his stuff at the office. Well, at least our YOUTH DOES IT office.

Hey, Mr. Coats, when can we expect more? S/S 2012?

Today we present a great artist, who's completed the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Poland. 

He's got a broad portfolio incl. a great body of art titled 'A winter's tale' which brings a melancholic mood. Thanks to his dreamy and thrilling technique he sets a horror like atmosphere. Where the subject is unclear and the monochromatic colours lead you to unravel a mystery.

Lukasz has also got many pro gay art works. Using a similar technique he discloses romantic love scenes which allow us to fantasize about what's really going on. Incredible.

YOUTH DOES IT fully supports your progress, Lukasz!!
