Mathew Lyons is studying illustration and animation in England.
For this entry and website I have chosen the Movie Title Screens section of his online portfolio. The reason I have chosen it is because I believe to be the most interesting one. Mathew is a student of animation and illustration, so he obviously has knowledge of both areas. In his website and in Locations and Illustrations it is clear to see the coherence of the line and the continuality of his style.
Mathew creates an imaginary scenario and a story in every illustration. He also demonstrates a very organised composition and high knowledge of space and geometry.
Movie Title Screens entails a very strong relation between illustration and typography. This relation must be direct and clean and it is. Most recent movie titles integrate a photograph and typography. Mathew works with his illustrations, which I believe to be a harder medium to send out the movie message. He does it in a very simple way and also he maintains he style. My favourite work is ‘Hiding in Triangles’. The scenario is red and warm contrasting with the green shadows. The typography has a strong impact and is perfectly integrated in the image.
Nevertheless, colour is a very important characteristic of Mathew’s work and it most likely will transmit a very real and balmy feeling.
