FREIGHT

although this is kind of old now it should still be published!! Freight is the project which I was Art Director for and which was launched at the Leeds Met Graphic Arts & Design degree show 2008 as part of the Arts Festival '08. It was a great success and it was really great to have all the stress culminate in such a fabulous result. Go Team!!

Short Films

Today i couldn't help but do three things:

1: Play with bevel and extruded type in illustrator

2: Redesign the poster promoting short films showing at the faversham on saturday (because it is horrible)

3: Make a poster using YELLOW!!

(There is also a grayscale, photocopier friendly version for good measure.)

Royal Shakespeare Company

This was a quick one / two day project exploring an idea i had for a series of posters which could run for a set of Royal Shakespeare Company shows. The main premise is that you have big, bold type quoting the appropriate play; using the red of the RSC logo as a single colour print. I have chosen to use New Clarendon for its heavy serifs and pure beauty. This also proved to have some challenges when kerning and has given the posters a touch of quality which was missing without it.

(There are 7 posters in all but i have only uploaded a selection; but you get the idea)

Space Opera Book Series

Here is the final artwork sent off to D&AD for the Space Opera book series brief. I'm pleased with how the final images came together and generally how the planning of the format works well across different titles.

Quida Update

Here is the current incarnation of Quida, now more commonly know to those in the know as Quida Sans. Notice the removal of the quiffs and D.A's so that the typeface is more user friendly and is less for display, although it has been chanced since this outing it hasn't been exported as a useable file yet.

Final Isotypes

Here are the final isotypes which i submtitted, for some reason they didn't fully upload on the last post. Also noticed the magnificent vending machine piece of artwork.

Audi Design Foundation

It has been a long time since i updated this so it sounds like it just might be a good time to do it! Here we have my final submission for the YCN Audi Design Foundation. All the isotypes have an element of the straight and the round to get around becoming too stylised and less communicative on things which need rounded shapes.
