Paper cutting (pintrest part 2)

 


This rather intriguing piece of work was created by the one and only Chrissie McDonald. Her  work mainly revolves around paper cutting but just in an unusual approach (like what is shown above). She has worked with a wide range of coloured paper in all her different creations. Pretty much all of her work has been created from different sizes of paper, which still managed to produce an amazing piece of work. The ideas behind her designs normally come from the range of clients in which she co-operates with. Clients include: 

  • Central Saint Martins,
  • Creative Review
  • Dazed & Confused
  • Edinburgh Fringe Festival
  • Fallon
  • KesselsKramer
  • Marque
  • The New York Times Magazine
  • Orange
  • Polydor
  • Praline
  • RKCR/Y&R
  • Time Out
  • Visit London
  • Vitra
  • Wallpaper
  • Wonderland Magazine.
  •  




This is another example of her work for Orange. A well known, popular and now new owner of T-mobile, is having its work produced by Chrissie McDonald. That means each time we come across an advert, poster or flyer from orange, we are actually holding her work!.
Taking a look at the way in which she cut the figures out of different sized paper and again with a range of colours used to make it stand out much more against the gradient background, just helps to both bolden and make the piece that much more eye catching because the first thing you would realise when you look at this would be the visual domination of the imagery, text in the top left corner and the obvious orange logo in the bottom right hand of the piece.

I have chosen to analyse this piece of work simply because it still surprises me that she is the creator behind what we see everyday on TV and in telephone stores and basically everywhere, everyday! also the way that she has used the most simple material to create something that looks complex but is quite simple and extremely effective, especially with the layout that she has used for it.

Here are just some of the examples of the amazing work she has created, we have seen but probably didn't recognise who made it :
