That was the question Advertising trade mag ‘The Drum’ asked Adrian. The idea was to create a double page spread for the magazine that could take any form. It’s actually a difficult thing to do because as he discovered when he sat down to think of the “inspirational things” that made him creative, the list was very very long.
The DPS above is the result. As you can see, Brian McGregor, king of Photoshop built a fantastic world where all of Adrian’s heroes could come together. (His working title was “last supper” but we changed that).
Of course if Adrian did this all over again he could produce a whole new list. Where for example is tea? or red wine?…two very important “inspirations” that didn’t make the shortlist this time.
If you’d like to know who some of the people are or why they are an inspiration to Adrian, just ask him to explain himself. Oh and since this image has loaded up soooooo small, then if you'd like to see a much bigger version without the need for a microscope check out adrianjeffery.posterous.com
