tank02 - we can't assume he doesn't have more. I think he's gone after a specific approach. He's given himself a specific skill... in effect branded himself simple yet powerful. So while he's not known for everything (which is tough), he's known for one style he does really well.

Brilliantly simple

never forget that most designers display the work 'they' like online...
love his work

@jfletcher: thats a very easy explanation of course.

can't you all see that vague is actually richard sarson and he is fishing for compliments?

I find it uninteresting enough to meet all the requirements to be called brilliantly dull and forgetable - such as this outstanding creative epoch prompts you to do everyday.

Some good interesting work going on there. I don't think it's a bad folio for someone who only graduated in 06. More time, bigger cannon of work... love all the circles - that guy is obsessed. Totally acceptable behaviour for a graphic designer.
- exactly. good, young designer who hasn't exactly found his own voice yet.monkeyshine

umm just read Richard's creds.. i think this pretty much answers Vague's original question:
"Richard Sarson is a freelance graphic artist based in London.
He graduated with a BA in 2004 and gained an MA in 2006 from the Royal College of Art."Vague just fyi: an MA from RCA = job anywhere you like.
Best blow-up-in-your-face thread in a long time.

i wouldn't be quite that harsh, the guy's only recently graduated, so sure enough the work may not be hot shit on a hot stick with no real client work.
But there's some nice typography on show, and a few clever posters... however a bit too many of the circles, methinks.all in all, vague is most likely hiding underneath his (or her) desk right now

I think hes asking how a designer can get to a point were he can do this kinda work without clients fucking it up with comments like " thats just a bunch of circles" or "is that just a sentence in helvetica"
ok maybe thats not his point, but its a valid one.
I think this work is really good, its the kinda design that makes you feel good about being a designer when you see it.
Unfortunately some clients dont go for some of that stuff.
+ like many people have mentioned, some of the stuff is personal work and designers usually show the work they like.

he is so much better than everyone (or almost everyone) commenting on his work in this thread, you should just shut up before you sound even stupider
- better and good are subjective statements eh rand. and again what makes a designer good?tank02

It was funny when I went to OFFF in Barcelona and saw these guys on the stage whose message was something to the effect of "we have the coolest job of writing programs that draw cool fractals that sell in galleries and you can't even try to say anything because we have Phd's in that."
Not trying to be negative, those were really neat fractals. And a nice way to make a living too.

I kind of enjoyed his spirograph work, but it was a bit of the same thing over and over again.
- blackspade0
really beautiful work
- Fizik0
wow -- that personal stuff is so ...spirograph!
guy didn't play with it enough as a kid I guesscommercial represents a better set of talent anyways...
