Mark Bender

Mark Bender is an illustrator that has been recognized by Communication Arts Magazine and the New York Society of Illustrators. Mark's illustrations have strongly influences from advertising posters from the 1920s and 1930s. I like Mark Bender's work and his website because his work is influenced from artwork in the 20s and 30s, and to me, those were very cool time periods in our world, especially from the 20s.

According to his website, Jon Krause, "creates images that are typically characterized by a sense of calm that makes an elegant edginess and witty irony." I like looking at his work because it is calming and it brings a new sense of meaning. Even his website is that way, calming, easy to read, and he has a lot of great information and artwork.

Robert Bradley

Robert Bradley is a designer who is also a musical artist. His designs come from "Haw Industries" in Knoxville, Tennessee. His illustrator is, Tim Winkler. I like this person, because after looking at his website, he is a designer who is a lot different from my taste, so I really learned a lot going out of my comfort zone and researching. The reason why I say that he is out of my comfort level is because, I like bright things and like everything to look fun. If I used black for a website, I would deffinately put more color to it so it adds more personality.
