Top Trumps

Who doesn't love top trumps? Not only do they bring back many many childhood memories... but they constantly surprise me with how many weird and wonderful types you can purchase in society today!

Our task was to select an artist, fit an image of their work in a top trump template and then score them in terms of their work. I decided to choose design duo M/M Paris as my artist because they too constantly surprise me with what work they will churn out next.... I consider them to be the Lady Gaga of the art industry. They use many different techniques when creating their work, often using the combined forces of photography and graphics. More recently they have moved on to collaborate with Kanye West to create silk with their graphics on to promote Kanye's new album. M/M Paris' other clients include Prada, Calvin Klein, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Shell, Bjork and many others.
