Inspiration and quote comes from research I've done about Dieter Rams. I found his designes and ideas fascinated I became even more impressed when found out that Apple has been inspired by his work as well.
Final design
Woman's figure is the biggest inspiration for me and I love using it in my works. The idea behind this sketch is that woman's natural beauty is much better than make up. Left side is looking natural weather her right is leaking with overused make up. On the bottom I've got text saying "Good design is as little design as possible" using females face as sample I referring to design as well that some design works just got to many things going on and it becomes mess.
This is one of my favourite design style which I could refer to Vorticisim. I like complexity in design it makes my eyes go around it and almost explore it which I always find fascinating.
This idea comes from David Carson where he has broken all the grid rules. I don't mind short quotes with this type of writing but recently I have discovered a full paragraph of important information which has been written in this style. It made me really annoyed I wanted to find out information about event quickly but text like this could me keep reading for an hour which I didn't want at all. I don't think this style should be used in long sentences because eventually viewer will loose interested in a text if it will not be readable and he want's to get quick information.
Sligthly more complexed looking design. I refereed the centre circle to iPhone button as an idea that design has to be functional effective and easy to use.
Lot of organized folders means that design must be organized, neat and well thought
My own sample of using negative space
Using negative space in Graphic Design is something I discovered just recently but it really got my attention and willing to create some work using this style

Ken Garland is notable as a British graphic designer, author and game designer. Garland established Ken Garland Associates in 1962. Garland studied design at London’s Central School of Arts and Crafts in the early 1950s ...we have reached a saturation point at which the high pitched scream of consumer selling is no more than sheer noise. We think that there are other things more worth using our skill and experience on. There are signs for streets and buildings, books and periodicals, catalogues, instructional manuals, industrial photography, educational aids, films, television features, scientific and industrial publications and all the other media through which we promote our trade, our education, our culture and our greater awareness of the world. ...” The manifesto was signed by 21 others.
