Meet Yomagick

He graduated with a First in Visual Communication in Design from IADT in Dún Laoghaire and has seen his work appear across the UK on more than 1000 JCDecaux digital screens. He has also featured in leading design publications like Creative Review and Wallpaper Magazine.

Nice!

Think and Create
A superb example of how simple layout and space can be hugely effective, the Think and Create project was inspired by basic visual communication elements like road signs and the eye test. Simple type, stark layout and manual cutouts are used, showing that you don’t need complex illustrations and images to create striking posters.

It’s all there in black and white
These poster prove that you don’t need loud images, bright colours or huge text to create visually striking designs and get your message across. Used to advertise club nights with printed posters and on social media, the text or message is sometimes extremely small. However, the image draws the eye towards the type. Other examples utilise abstract typography to grab the attention. The series shows a great understanding of the target market and of the product being promoted.

Bauer Bodini – one type fits all
This poster series is described by Yomagick as a tribute to the Bauer Bodini typeface. Abstract images mix the font and the human body. By removing both the typeface and human body from their natural environment, Yomagick illustrates how everyday objects can be shown in an imaginative and unique way.
