criticising si scott is like criticising banksy
he has his own style but unlike si scott - his style is piss easy to replicate
- Dr_Rand0
who is criticising si scott? I think everyone agrees to his talent.
- indian_pole0
a couple of you have got serious jealousy issues!
i went to bucks uni with si and from what i remember he's also a really talented designer and ideas man... he's obviously found success with his illustration/type style and has capitalized on it, which is clever as hell... i'm pretty sure he can adapt once this style stops getting him commissions...but as for replicating the type... i imagine thats a really hard task as it's a highly personal style, not really something you could learn, unless you are seriously talented at copying stuff... good luck anyway.
- most of the comments are on the futility of imitating such a recognizable and now ubiquitous styleDr_Rand
- I don't think anyone is jealous or even being overly critical, just kinda stating the obvious...neue75_bold
- if anything it is a rueful assessment of our profession--how anything new gets instantly cooptedDr_Rand
- and disseminated around the worldDr_Rand
- i know, wasn't really referring to those... if the dude's client wants that style, then i'm guessing he either gives it a go and makes some cash or doesnt and doesnt make any cash!
indian_pole - some of the frustration of the grows out of the fact that we've all had clients who want us to imitate something elseDr_Rand
- and these comments always get construed as "hating" on the originatorDr_Rand
- indeed! - i feel the pain too... but if its a case of getting paid or not, i'm all for getting paid! and living to design something original another day!indian_pole
- original another day!indian_pole
- me too!Dr_Rand
- I havent' designed anything original in my lifeDr_Rand
- lolliveforever
- i designed something original once, but then i got told 'it's not quite nike 'tick' enough!indian_pole
- I take all of Rand's work, so what does that mean? I am a copier of a copier? Copier to the nth degree?Jaline

My tip: hire Si Scott.
But if you must rip his style, watch this.

Indianpole did he start this style at college?
- if u look at his work it has been a slow progression to what it is now.
started off a basic formliveforever - No, no at all. He was in the year above me at uni and was very Vince Frost; all big, clean black and white type. We caught up at a talk last year and it's taken him 5 years to perfect where he's at. He is, however, flattered but saddened to see people ripping it left right and centre and is taking a few months off to come up with something else.nowherehead
- Thats what I thought. I'd be willing to bet he didn't originate the style, if he was totally honest about it.Walker2

there's a video of him doing a piece on his site. if you're doing a piece for a client, why not hire si to do the illustration? i still wll never understand how people can live with themselves when they rip off something that specific and well-known.
- ffs - u think i wana do it !!!
my boss is stingy and client is a tosser. that is allliveforever
- ffs - u think i wana do it !!!

that style came after (or at least i didnt see it at uni), he did alot of letterpress at uni.

I can't believe you actually spend your time on design blogs!
This is the first and last time I will ever go on a design blog (I was sent this link by a friend). It's so easy to be a critic of others work than actually create your own work! I love the fact that you spend time having a go at other designers on these fucking blogs - just proves your either incompetent or just fucking stupid! Let's see what you can do sherlock! As the person said check the website and see a variety of different work - or better still post a link to yours if your so talented (let's see it!).You sad little idiot
