NSNatalie Shanks
Graphic Designer & Book Artist
As I go through life, I often find that I am looseningmy imagination, so to speak. It is human interaction, chance and curiosity that play a large part in the ignition of my ideas. Influenced bymy surroundings or witty flights of imagination, my work seeks to openyour eyes, make you look twice or simply recall elements of your own personal experiences.
It is my belief that without notions of reality in design how an earth can you relate to an audience, make them feel what you feel orsee what you see.
