I don't care if you are designer or just purely enjoy and appreciate creativity and want to have your mind blown by a great artist, this book is for you.. Places is on of those perfect coffee table books. I can highly recommend Sean Hargreaves book for anyone who is interested inthe arts of film design.. Simply a beautiful crafted book of amazing artistic and 3D renderings. I am no where near a designer and truly don't understand the difficulty that goes into the creation and vision of this type of work. The stunning images make you pick it up over and over againCovering every aspect from the vase in the corner of a room, to the cityscape that contains the building that contains the room with the vase that holds the flower, Hargreaves has created places beyond our imaginations yet firmly rooted them in reality.Unbelievable to most, no photographs were used when making these stunning places, space was designed digitally and directly.. Though Hargreaves agrees with this approach to a certain degree, he also questions it, feeling that there are “filtering” issues when sketching; the sketches that follow the initial idea may be refining it but it also “waters down” the initial design. The final image is the presentation of the refinement of all the sketches. Those images are subconsciously refined over and over in one’s life. They may consist of shapes, or places, or films…but they always stay present in the back of the memory and now and then they make an appearance in an image or design that is created. As a result, the final design may end up being a mere long lost relative of the initial idea.The designs in this book started out as an exercise Hargreaves laid out for himself to counter what he learned, he wanted to create desiHis work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. During this time in Paris, Hargreaves' appreciation and understanding of Architecture skyrocketed and subsequently influenced his work to this day; he soon developed an almost photorealistic style of illustration using multiple media expertly.
