John Gall-ing

Sent another mini-portfolio out to an American art director and designer for Vintage, John Gall - really like his work, although it's a lot more design based than illustrative. His design for the 1Q84 set is really cool, using transparencies as I've been doing recently.

I've also discovered Helen Yentus who has worked with John Gall on a lot of projects - her portfolio is also very cool. I'm beginning to find book design portfolios that aren't necessarily illustration heavy quite inspiring. It's definitely inspiring me to branch out even more with what I'm doing.
