James White / Signalnoise

James has been drawing since he was 4 years old. He loved drawing his favorite cartoon characters and even got scolded by his teachers in school for doing so. In 1995 he join graphic design school where he graduated and moved on to learn interactive technology. After finishing his studies he soon got a job in a web/graphic design firm. At work he mixed his personal and corporate designs to come up with some great results. On the other hand he designed cd covers, logos and posters for small businesses. Currently he’s working in a design firm in Canada. One thing I personally like about James designs is the use of colors in his posters, just mind blowing. His artwork is truly inspirational.
