Open Ways

Loris F. Alessandria, an Italian freelance illustrator who loves Lego and dogs, feels that inspiration is not in and for chosen few, but all around for us to recognise, acknowledge and appreciate. He goes on to expound on his own insightful findings owing to being open to them along the way.

CG. Having a strong sense of design and the ability to put yourself out there, where do you see yourself in the next couple of years?

LA. Thank you. I am working hard to improve my skills, and to find some new ways to communicate. In the next couple of years, I'd like to see myself as a trusted freelancer; one who gets the opportunity to work with very cool people around the globe.

CG. How is your approach different from others around you? What is the inspiration for the same?

 LA. I do not know if my approach is different or not, but I personally think it is not. The chosen approach depends on the project at hand i.e. what is required and apt for it, so that it comes into effect in the best way possible. Usually, though, I like to make use of expressive characters, and even play with lot with colour 

My inspiration comes in different forms and mediums; they could be in the form of illustrated books, graphic design projects or animated movies as well. I'm always inspired by the thousands of talented people around me.
