To choose 3 top designers that influence me is hard; I have so many designers which influence me in many different ways. Below are 3 of them and what aspects of their work inspire me.
Vitaly Alexius is a Freelance Illustrator/Photographer. He was born in 1984 in an industrial city of Novokuznetsk in Siberian Russia. He had been interested in drawing since he was about 4. He did several courses in Traditional Drawing and Illustration. He wasn’t known until he found a programme called Photoshop which allowed him to express his talent.
Most of Vitaly’s work uses traditional art mixed in with illustration. I like his use of colours to represent/express different moods. I also like the way he uses past and futuristic elements to create a virtual world. But what inspires me most is that he is able to express himself freely. He has no limitations. I want to take this idea of no limitations and being able to push the boundaries of creativity of Web design.

Alan Becker Flash/Animator
Alan Becker is a Flash Animator was born in Ohio, he first started out just simply drawing at home and coming up with ideas for animation. He started at an early age and studied Flash and other software before he was discovered over the internet through a website called Deviantart.
The below animation; which was the animation which first caught my eye is the animation which allowed me to discover his works. I like the unusual idea of his work and the idea of how simplistic it is. One of the most inspiring things that I like is the thought of being discovered online; which is one of many new opportunities. I hope to use this idea by creating a portfolio website and publishing it to the web.

Nina Matsumoto Cartoonist
Nina Matsumoto is a Japanese-Canadian comic book artist and writer, also known as space coyote, and most known for creating the comic book series Yōkaiden for Del Rey Manga. She created the webcomic Saturnalia and has also done work as a penciller for Bongo Comics.
What I like most about Nina’s work is she uses her own imagination rather than sticking to a list of rules.. One of my favourite pieces of work is her manga stylized parody (below). She has took the cast of the Simpsons and created a unusual concept. What attracts me most about her work is she is able to take current/existing ideas and put her mark on it through re-creation. I want to build on my web skills by re-designing current websites and making them my own style.
