Contemporary Design Issues

We were given a wide range of designers and asked to study one of our choice. I chose Thomas Burden. This is a young designer who uses 3D characters to explain his world around him. Most of the images are created by him and he develops his ideas with software.
He also does beautiful illustrations and sign boards as well as posters.
This designer is a very creative one and I would like to learn from him to also become as good as he is and even better.
