The Other Stream

The Other Stream is the online portfolio of freelance designer Richard Roberts. Robert was born in the UK but now lives and works in the USA and although he is only 18, has had his work shown in Computer Arts and for the band Omega Code's published fan art book.

I came across Richards work from an issue of Computer Arts and was amazed by his unique style of illustrations. His illustrations are very abstract with lots of shapes, lines and colours involved and tends to use the a similar colour palette on each of his illustrations.

I think it can be an important part of getting your work recognized if you produce a similar style throughout your work. If I was to see another piece of his work on another website or magazine, I think his style would be easily recognizable. I am trying to build my own theme in my work starting with my final major project. I am using a style in my final major project now that I want to continue working with as I am satisfied with what I am producing and I have had some positive feedback from Purple Penguin Design, my tutors and on deviantart.com
