Si Scott


Si Scott is a full-time artist who is a designer as well as a creative consultant is based in England. He is famous for his unique handcrafted and hand-drawn creations which gained him a number of awards. So far in his career his done projects for numerous companies such as Nike and Sony.
Si Scott’s work has been all over the world in different cities including Brazil, New York, Tokyo and more. 



Some people may think that Si Scott's work is a bit boring because he works with letterforms mostly, but I think his work is rather interesting. Even though he may use letterforms mostly, his work no matter how big or small, is always at a high quality. Also, his work is very specific which I like. For something that looks so simple there's a few guidelines Scott follows. For example:
-  Scott makes sure that all letterforms have the same 'x height' as you can see in the picture above.
-  The kerning (the space between each letter) is roughly the same.
-  He uses Descenders and Ascenders, that's when letterforms go past the 'x height' from the bottom or the top. Letters like 'j' have a Descender and letters like the letter 'h' have a Ascender.
-  The counter width is roughly the same within each round letter.
- One thing I've noticed in Si Scott's work also is that he either has serifs on all letters or none at all.

To sum up, I consider Si Scott's work very unique because of the guidelines he follows as well as the swirls and little detail he does inside the letterforms. Lastly, he not naive to work just on letterforms, he expands his work to different objects he takes a liking to as you can see from my first picture.
