Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

For the month of August, a series of guests will be fill­ing in on DWL with daily posts. Today’s posts come to you from Boston-based designer Ben Whitla. For more from Ben, be sure to fol­low him on Twitter and Dribbble. 

My good buddy Jon Daly is a for­mally trained painter (see here), but he also cre­ates some of the great­est illus­tra­tion meets design meets paint­ing work I’ve seen. His blended skillset gives him a unique take on solv­ing visual prob­lems, that lead to unex­pected and wild solutions.

His lat­est album art­work for Sophistafunk is rem­i­nis­cent of a more psy­che­delic time, with beau­ti­ful hand drawn type (a trade­mark of Jon’s work) and a min­i­mal palette that keeps the painterly style very graphic.
