We love Wes Anderson

Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969) is an American film director, film producer, screenwriter, and actor. His films are known for their distinctive visual and narrative style.

Anderson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums in 2001, Moonrise Kingdom in 2012 and The Grand Budapest Hotel in 2014, as well as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009. He received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Director and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for The Grand Budapest Hotel in 2014. He also received the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2015. His films are produced under his American Empirical Pictures banner.

Anderson is regarded by many as a modern-day example of the auteur. He has received consistent praise from critics for his work, and three of his films – The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel – appeared in BBC's 2016 poll of the greatest films since 2000.

Wes Anderson films deserve a genre of their own. If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing any of his films, you’re likely already a fan. Many artists and designers draw their inspiration from the director’s iconic aesthetics. His movies are about meticulous compositions, impeccable sets and of always a very distinct color scheme. 

Wes Anderson encourages us to think, to dream and create. One of the elements that make the movies so compelling is the precise colouration. From the pastel-hues that paint the scenery, to the attire of the characters, the color palettes stay true to the dream-like world created by Anderson. No matter what part of the movie you come in on, you’ll always know it’s a Wes Anderson film.

There is also a very simple design lesson behind every film that reflects Anderson’s aesthetics – richly colored scenes paired with an emphasis on symmetry. Note the particular attention to symmetry, composition and detail. We can all learn a lesson or two from one of the most imaginative film directors of all time.

This article can be your source of inspiration for future projects! Nailing that color scheme can be one of the hardest things to tackle. 

If you're ever in need of a little extra inspiration, take it from one of the most celebrated movie director all of time, Wes Anderson !
