This weeks person to watch is Ryan Romanes. Ryan is probably one of the funniest guys I know, not only does he have the ability to make you laugh like you have some sort of uncontrollable bodily twitch, he's one of the most talented up-and-coming graphic designers.
Graphic design is an infant industry in New Zealand and at this stage so many are jumping at the 'idea' of being a graphic designer, but very few have the talent to follow. The discipline requires versatility in aspects ranging from typography and illustration to computer coding and publishing. Those are things that are often inconceivable to your everyday person but they're skills Ryan possesses. He's recently completed an internship with Saachi & Saachi design, where he worked on infographics for KPMG and advertising for the Auckland Theatre Company. It comes as little surprise that he was also a finalist in the recent 'BEST design awards' - a testament to his amazing work.
Ryan has done extensive visual campaign work for The Blue Baths in Rotorua (see images below) which I am completely obsessed with. Check out the redesign he also worked on for their website here.
Ryan your stuff is cray! And I'm obsessed!
