The Illustrations Of Elwood H Smith:

As an illustrator myself, it is always inspiring to look at the work of successful individuals from my field of practise. Elwood H Smith lives in New York, but his work can be seen internationally in books such as Hot Diggity Dog, Raise The Roof, and The Truth About Poop.

He draws in a style that resembles a comic strip, and more often than not he includes speech bubbles in his work. I am a great fan of his simplistic drawing style, he makes clear the expressions of his characters through exaggerated posture and animated movements.

Toby Ng - The World of 100

Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.

These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying. 

The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?

“Look, this is the World we are living in.”

- Toby Ng
