I personally love Roper's work. it combines mixed media, mainly photography digitally enhanced and composed with illustrations. On top of some of these compositions is type, this has become much more prominate within his later works. He studied at Buckingham shire college doing graphic design and now has become globally established as a graphic designer. His work has appeared in many books and magazines, including, 'It's a Matter of Illustration' by Victionary, 'Thousand Type Treatments' by Rockport, 'Typographics' by Rotovision and a major feature in the Japanese design magazine.
The thing which grabs me about his work, is the clustered layered of block colours, messy style which his work holds, yet at the same time there is clear precision and looking up close each line in immaculate. Recently he has worked with fellow designer Si Scott, and you can see a clear resemblance now between each others work which is now mainly illustration and heavily pixilated darkened imagery playing around with thershhold.
