Computer Arts, Summer 2010
When it comes to creating images, my mission is usually to convey a specific idea or feeling. Certain illustrations are literal – for me this means they have characteristics that are very symbolic and easily interpreted. Others act more like scenery, where individual thoughts can flourish. However, I never try to force ideas on people. I create a place where they can interpret different things. My illustrations don't tell you what to see – I am more interested in what conclusions the viewer ends up drawing from my images.

When talking about my 'style' I generlly claim that there are two sides of the coin: my illustrations, who are mostly color and composition driven, and my graphic design which is simple, clean and idea driven. However this doesn't restrict my illustrations from being idea driven (and they are), or my graphic design from being colorful (and it is).

We probably should thank our lucky stars that the Swedish construction industry didn't take a fancy to young Edvard Scott's diverse talents, who listed his favourite occupation as "crane operator".
Wonderland, May 2006
Fantastical and surrealist in style, the graphic design and illustration work of Edvard Scott explores a colorful and bold subconscious. Fluid and free of structure or constraint, it seems that with each illustration Scott has picked up a pen and re-created a bizarre dream he had the night before.

This issue's fantastic cover, design by talented Swedish illustrator Edvard Scott, takes a new approach to the subject of how to be more creative. Scott's clearly not short of ideas, so how does he go about answering such a challenging brief? "I've climbed Mount Everest without oxygen, I've seen Titanic on the bottom of the ocean, I've fought my way through the blistering cold of Siberia on a bike, I've journeyed the desert of Sahara on a camel and I've painted smiley faces on the statues at Easter Island," he reveals. "Seriously? I'm 21 years old and it's all about imagination."

He can't pinpoint the exact moment when he knew that graphic design and illustration were going to take over his life, but for the last four or five years that's increasingly been the case for Edvard Scott. And he's convinced that the main reason for not knowing he'd found his vocation was because it's fun.
