Jasper Goodall

Jasper Goodall was born in 1973 in Birmingam, England.
His Father was an architect and his mother a fine artist and photographer who was instrumental in the UK Feminist Arts Movement during the 1970’s/80’s.
He Graduated from The University of Brighton in 1995.

Goodall was at the forefront of the reinvention and rejuvenation of illustration in the late nineties and helped pave the way for the huge resurgence of the medium that we have witnessed in the last ten years. His iconic work for The Face magazine has influenced so many image makers, it has almost become a school of illustration in itself.
His client list encompasses many areas- music, fashion, advertising, publishing and Editorial.

I love how jasper uses a wide range of colours in his designs, however mostly uses white/black backgrounds to make his illustrations really stand out. i like how he uses shapes to create images and he uses a lot of effects to make his work look innovative and interesting. I'm definitely thinking of using shapes and effects in my posters to really make them stand out and give them an 80's effect so that it relates back to the exhibition in which i am designing for.
