If you've enjoyed watching the Jurassic World, well you're in for a treat! Graphic Designer, James Oconnell has illustrated some of his favorite scenes from the movie. His amazing work 'Jurassic Park' is composed of lines and colours that is both striking and minimal.

Jurassic Park has always been one of my all time favourite films. I remember back to when I first saw it released at the cinema and how it gave me goosebumps. Steven Spielberg was able to bring such a fantastical world to life through the use of CGI and animatronics, it's these animatronics in my opinion that gives the film that sense of realism.

I tend to use quite an organic process, the Jurassic Park one in particular began with re-watching the classic film and then scribbling out a few compositions based on my favourite scenes. My styles been described as captivating and minimal, I'd just say it's downright awesome and like nothing else out there. I'm carving a niche between design and art so the pieces I produce don't just slot into the world but they can stand on their own two feet. Over the years I've been inspired by the likes of Stefan Sagmeister and James Victore, not to mention Captain Picard of the Starship Enterprise - weird mixture I know but it's good to have influences outside the box.

Don't let anyone get you down about the work you do, there'll be times when no ones looking at you and you feel like your not advancing - stay motivated and make your own luck. Don't be afraid to break the mould and create something new, it'll feel strange and alien, almost downright wrong as it's not been tried and tested, but hey - it'll be new, fresh and exciting! As for my favourite, it's yet to come - I'm currently working on a Thundercats piece that's gonna be next level!!
