Chuck Anderson has more than made a name for himself as a unique colourist who is as prolific as he is talented. Using a mix of design, photography and illustration, his trademark style of stellar-light flashes and glimpses of imaginary galaxies has been copied to the point of trend. Despite being a form of flattery, style appropriation doesn’t always place its creator in in the most beneficial light yet Chuck remains a leader in a field of young designers somehow managing to balance his personal work with an interesting mix of paying projects. Although the world of big name clients are inclined to use his design eye for Gen-Y marketing purposes, Chuck’s evolution over the years shows that there is a permanence to his work that goes beyond mere trend-aesthetics. Constantly elevating, sideswiping and one upping, his designs continue to reveal the strength of his ideas as well as his inherent need to create and present unique artistic solutions across multiple forms.
