James White

James White is a graphic designer from Nova Scotia when at the age of four started drawing on every scrap of paper he cou8ld get his hands on.

In 1995 White enrolled on to the Graphic Design program at the Nova Scotia Community College where he received formal training with a basic knowledge in composition, typography and pre-press. After a year on the graphic design program White was accepted onto the Interactive Technology course also at Nova Scotia Community College where he learnt the best graphics software avalible, Adobe’s Photoshop and Illustrator. Also while on the course he White learnt how to program a basic website, which at the time the internet was just developing in the main stream so White was hired straight out of college as a web designer in high demand. 

James white’s style of working combines photography, illustrations and typography. He takes a lot of inspiration for 80’s videos, games and cassette cases especially in his typographic work. He is also influenced by his love for metal music and the design styles associated with it such as the chrome effect.

When working White goes through three stages to create the final outcome, he first starts with a rough sketch detailing position of the main objects and other information that may be necessary. The next stage is the create a vector drawing of the sketch, this allows him to make an outline and sharp interact details if needed.

1940s - First High-Speed Photography Images

Dr. Harold "Doc" Edgerton, a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, works with National Geographic to perfect high-speed stroboscopic photography, freezing on film the rapid movements of nature that elude the eye. National Geographic publishes several of the images, including bullets frozen in mid-flight and stilled hummingbird wings. Nicknamed "Papa Flash," Edgerton's techniques are later used to illuminate the ocean's deepest abysses.
