"I don’t capture moments, I capture ideas"
"Every new project is a challenge and my goal is to realize them as realistic as possible"
Erik Johanson is a graphic designer/photographer from Sweden, who like myself, does personal and commissioned projects. His quotes are inspirational to me as a working student, as every new project set for me is a challenge, trying to make my work individual, and to stand out from the other designers. Just like Erik who believes if you make the project feel realistic enough, it will look it, I believe if you get personal with your work, a successful outcome is achievable. I think Erik Johanson stands out as a designer more so than others because you can feel the passion he shares for his work, that's inspirational to me working in Graphic design, as there are tasks where I don't feel motivated to do, therefore the outcome isnt pleasing, however Erik pushes them boundries and teaches you to engage with your work. Looking at his work as a whole, I cant help get the impression he has created a new form of modern day surrealist style, which again, is motivating for me because I'm always trying to think of ways to create new art.
