Eio Mini Range
After working with the guys at Eio (Excess is OK) on a few jobs and their catalogue they asked me to collaborate with them and design a set of T-shirts as a mini range for them to sell. They’re all based on the idea of using type as image and having a play with some nice finishes.
Creative Review
The September 2009 issue of Creative Review is the graduate special. CR got in touch and asked whether I wanted to be one of the eight graduates featured. After quickly saying yes I was given the chance to design the front cover for the issue as well. Along with this, I was invitied to exhibit my work Downstairs at Mother London. Here’s a few shots of the front cover and my installation above the bar.
Keep Us Busy
Keep Us Busy was a collaboration with my good friend Shaun Hughes. For a week we turned a display window into our temporary studio and asked for suggestions of things to keep us busy. It was a way of indulging oursleves in our last 3 months of Uni. To collaborate, to use words, to interact, not just to design but to create, to have fun. To be
on constant show & to prove to the world that the creative mind is always doing. See the whole project at keep-us-busy.com
Wait & See
Wait & See is a collaborative book between Myself, David Marsh & Simon Mortimer. It is a showcase of the work produced by students in the final year of the LSAD Graphic Design course. Wait & See is a collection of works based on the theme of anticipation and only uses grayscale and fluorescent orange. The book comes in a transparent pouch, the idea that you can see the book, but have to wait to open it. The use of fold-outs also carries on the idea. Nominated for a British Book Design Awards.
