Big Active
2008.6.15What happens when a bunch of amazingly talented illustrators, photographers, and art directors come together in one group? A little thing called BIG ACTIVE.
For those of you who are football fans, allow me to throw this analogy out to you - Big Active is like the Real Madrid of world design, that should sum it up for you (unless you don’t like Real Madrid that is)! For those of you who are not football fans, I’ll translate for you; Big Active is a team made up largely of some of the best players in the “game” of graphic arts.
They have illustrators operating underneath the name such as Sanna Annuka (artist for Keane albums), Parro, Mat Maitland (Goldlfrapp, Swarovski), as well as two fellow GAS artists Geneveive Gauckler and Will Sweeney. Along with this they have an awesome bench line-up of photographers including Vava Ribeiro and Erwan Frotin (Adidas). Some of you may recall Erwan Frotin’s incredibly detailed photographs of the Hermes Cape Cod watch which show the watch and its components floating in open space. They were very nice (and you can see them on their website).
To sum them up in one very cheesy and horribly cliche line, BIG ACTIVE are creative guns for hire, and they never miss.
