I mostly produce graphical pieces of art at home and experiment whilst listening to electronic music.<\/p>\n My greatest inspiration is graphic; retro, 60’s to 80’s graphic design, movies, graffiti art, typography, calligraphy, illustration, and the music movement. <\/p>\n Nando Costa<\/a> is a great Graphic Artist that produces abstract, psychedelic, intense, and powerful images. He’s the first artist that blows my brains and inspired me to form new graphic shapes to draw. I firstly did some photography research of flying birds<\/a>, and downloaded a few images to trace along.<\/p>\n I then had to decide which one of those birds images would best suit my idea, and choose which one’s I wanted.<\/p>\n It took 3 hours to trace all images into vector, so this was quite a long process. From here, I worked on the size, position, distance, and colour. Finally, I played around with the pattern of the birds to fit the larger bird. <\/p>\n My aim was to show pattern which was bold and striking.<\/p>\n This is my first pattern design<\/a> with a shape of birds. The concept is to show a bunch of silhouettes of flying birds, to bring out unique and simple feel of flying birds.<\/p>\n I always start the day by conducting a lot of research at my desk. Looking at today’s graphic artists around the globe, to other forms of research that grabs my attention.<\/p>\n However, I still love to create vector based illustrations such as logos, icons, and symbols. Playing with vector is catchy and addictive, that I can’t get enough of; from retro, groovy, & minimalist. <\/p>\n The rules of creativity is create something which has never been created before and make it durable.<\/p>\n I’ve always wanted to be a Graphic Artist, that concentrates on illustration and abstraction. <\/p>\n Ideally having my hand drawing skill is very important to me; to stay original. I mostly like doing my own graphic work with digital software programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop. <\/p>\n I always dream of having a t-shirt store featuring my own graphic production and becoming a Graphic Artist. <\/p>\n Fahmi has many ways you can get in contact with them;<\/p>\n You can email Basegrafise here<\/a><\/p>\n Follow him on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n Or even phone him – +6281254058866<\/p>\n Thanks for that great Creative Interivew Fahmi, and congratulations on getting your design within our shop.<\/p>\n We’ll continue to promote you and your work on our social media platforms, conduct another blog post about your work, and get your name out their to our ever growing audience.<\/p>\n You can purchase this great design by Fahmi here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let us know what you thought of this interview by commenting below.<\/p>\n We’ll love to hear from you.<\/p>\n So thanks for visiting today, be sure to leave a comment below, as we would love to hear from you.
