Anthony Burrill

Anthony Burrill is an English designer, graphic designer and print maker. He is famous for his style is notable for his use of vibrant colours and bold text in order to communicate a more upbeat and persuasive message clearly.

Semiotics and messages are incredbily important to all of his work and he has developed a reputation for his incorporation of more subtle, clever meanings beneath the more explicitly obvious ones which subtly enforce his orignal message, i.e. using oil attained from the sea and mixing it with water to produce his ‘Oil and Water don’t mix’ piece.

Every one of his pieces has it's own meaning beneath the meaning which can be found in through his use of semiotics when it comes to picking the materials, colour and layout of his pieces.

 

While not not created for this purpose, Anthony Burrill's influence can be seen in my work created during a recent process and production lesson wherein we had to create kinetic typography. I go into the process and lesson in more depth on my original blog, but here are the screens from the final result of the lesson
