(LA BOCA) INTERVIEW
designboom (DB) speaks to scot bendall (SB), co-founder and creative
director of la boca about the studio’s prolific output and his personal
influences.
DB: what are the main differences between art and illustration for you?
our illustration work is always created with an audience in mind.
it’ designed to connect with someone and express something to them. s in
most of the projects we undertake, la boca doesn’t matter at all, we’re not
important. I see art as being a much more personal endeavour . the work is
more self-expressive, and the artist themselves are key to the work.
DB: who or what has influenced your work the most? music has always
been extremely important to me. I probably wanted to become a designer
primarily because of record sleeves, and I’ve known since i was around 15
that this is what I wanted to do. today , 100s of sleeves later, it’s still an area
of design I get excited about, especially when there’s a strong connection
with the music itsel
DB: how do you think the popularity of online design resources has
influenced illustration and design being produced today? it’s certainly made
the world smaller. it’s fantastic to be able see the work of designers based in
far off locations, which before was quite difficult,
