Dante Ferretti

 

















Born 26th February 1943, is an Italian production designer, art director and costume designer for films. He has won three awards for best art direction for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Aviator and Hugo. 
He uses a lot of dark contrasting colours to create a forbidding environment. 
Dante Ferretti inspires me a lot with his work. He brings a lot of dark natured personality to his work, something I can relate to as I like to bring a lot of goth like features to my personal work. His work helps me reflect on a lot of things, as I do enjoy the movies he helps create. Plus he's worked with my top inspiration - Tim Burton, who has created a lot of wacky, dark and creative films. 

Robert Edmond Jones - Inspiration for Concepts

Born 12th December 1887, died 26th November 1954. He was an American scenic, lighting and costume designer in Theatre. His stage craft has taken storytelling to a new level, using bold and sharp colours for simplified realism, also creating simple yet dramatic lighting. He expressed himself through his stage sets. 

Robert Edmond Jones is a get inspiration! As I've got more into concept art, creating my own scenes and characters are expressed throughout me, as my work is dark and I like to add a bit of boldness and dramaticness, it's work I can look at and see what I can develope my own into.
