AGIDEAS "Trends and Designer"


Trends and Designer

Relatively new to the design scene, that I have been seeing in AGIDEAS. For example Street Art, illustration, 3D, Motion graphics, Interactive media, Green media, Origami, Textural based design, etc. There are many speakers at the AGIDEAS conference, but I found designers/developers are all from different spectrums of the design pool and bring their own unique theories to the discussion. It was very interesting to see their works. For this blog section I would like to discuss of two designer and show examples of their work that follows the trends.


Stuart CampbellHe is an interactive designer and illustrator. Campbell is best known for his online comic book Nawlz, which combination of text, illustration, music, animation and interactivity. His animations and overall illustrating capabilities are amazing. Stuart Campbell studied art, drama and audio visual so its gave him inspirations to created his unique works.



He started to create by hand drawn then scan and painted in computer. It is good combination meeting digital and creating illustration. I think it is very interesting when the graphics movement on the screen.

Alex Alvarez


He is CEO of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Alex is also a director of The Gnomon Workshop, The Gnomon Gallery, Sketch theatre, Gnomon Studios and CG channel. Mostly his works based on 3D animations, Visual Effect, Character design and movie production.


He started from sketching and drawing in Photoshop. Then he sculpted model in 3D software such as Zbrush and Maya. His works are unique and incredibility design. In my opinion, He has got many skill from fine art mixed with new technology very well and he is good photographer as well.


Nowadays, 3D films became more famous and more successful thought 2000-2009, culminating in the unprecedented success of 3D presentations of Avatar in December 2009. which is Alex continues to work on personal projects, recently as a creature development artist on the James Cameron film 'Avatar', JJ Abram's ' Star Trek".
