Creativity is a like a virus. Some people catch it, others don’t.
It becomes their servant- a welcome companion that aids them in whatever creative outlet they desire-sometimes more than one.
These individuals live and breath creativity. They are obsessed with it, it becomes their passion.
I’ve known a few individuals like that and it’s like being in the presence of a whirlwind comprised of ideas, concepts and visions.
Christian Watson is one such person. He and his studio: 1924US produce some of the most unique designs ever seen.
A graphic designer, photographer and illustrator Christian incorporates elements of turn of the last century design and illustration with a slightly modern twist.
While his work echoes much of the designs seen over a century ago he manages to make all of his work: logos, illustrations, photos and his personal store’s interior design fresh and innovative.
In Venture Onward The Design And Curiosities Of 1924US from Gestalten, showcases his studio’s work.
Everything that leaves his studio reeks early 20th Century from clothing, product design, logos and his store that looks like a Cabinet of Curiosities with its many nooks and crannies and odd objects.
Nearly one-inch thick, the book reflects the look and feel of his work from its heavy bound cover, muted interior pages with photographs of his work to its binding and overall feel and appearance.
For a fascinating journey into a truly unique creative mind be sure to pick up a copy of this book today.
Thanks for taking the time to read this review. May God bless.
