Koichi Fujii

Looking for some inspiration and motivation for the next year in the college I came across works of many interesting illustrators. Koichi Fujii is one of them.
He is a London based freelance illustrator who specializes in portraits. His style is easy to recognize and it is characterized by bold mixture of vibrant colors. In his illustrations blocks of bright colors run through each other creating new shades. They often create a transparent layer which covers a whole illustration. He often introduces typography to his design. Hand-drawn letters comprise an integral  part of the illustration`s composition. In his design  Koichi Fujii uses simple geometric shapes-circles, squares, triangles.

I decided to paste this illustration, because I think it reflects the
quintessence of the artist`s style.
The color scheme used in this picture was probably influenced by 70`s. Bright yellow creates subtle contrast with muted shades of orange and blue. In this picture we can see simple geometric shapes which dominated the whole composition.The composition is dynamic created by unequal proportioned elements.
The artist introduced typography and photography to this design.
I like Fujii`s illustrations because of their composition in which random elements create a perfect harmony.
