Work in Progress*

Live the language - four amazingly art directed short films that will make you want to pack your bags!!! - Great sense of place through stunning use of typography! Much love for this project.

More little gems of culture! Thank you to the EF Video Team!

Just ordered The Big Book of Packaging: Contains over 200 Examples of Eco-Friendly Packaging - can’t wait to be inspired!

Intended as a comprehensive resource for designers, creative professionals, marketers, and retailers, “The Big Book Of Packaging” contains 384 pages of the most innovative packaging designs from around the world. With over 500 featured designs and profiles of twelve of the world’s leading designers, the book is a must-have resource for anyone interested in the future of packaging and design. In light of the recent lift in environmental consciousness, this volume of the “Big Book Series” will devote one third of its content to the increasingly important subject of green packaging-showing designers and retailers how to package their products creatively, responsibly, and at low cost, factors that will be reflected in the books own packaging/binding as well. “The Big Book Of Packaging” will appeal to designers, students, marketers, retailers, and aesthetes alike, providing a thorough look at what goes into building an effective package and how to think outside the box.

FAULT
Magazine
-
Below is the second image I have produced for Fault.
White Lies was made from flour and dough.

The idea was to keep the surrounding space as white as possibly to allow easy application. I am going to re shoot the two entries, this and The Redwalls and see how they appear as titles with white space.

FAULT
Magazine
-
Following my self-initiated piece, Fault magazine have invited me to create two titles.

Using some out of date ginger i put together this piece; the initial for the title The Redwalls.

The other design will be uploaded soon.

THE WORLD OF YCN
‘FOREST’
—
Apple Tree

I was invited by Alex Ostrowski at YCN to produce 4 trees which were to be embellish on both sides (2 small, 4 medium and 2 large). The World of YCN ‘Forest’ is to help promote their 08/09 YCN Book.

The trees are due to be added to the ‘World of YCN’ and be part of the 08/09 YCN book.

So as a small thank you too.

Waste from the ’smile’ cards were put to use.

Lucius Young mailed me over the ‘An Oddinary Exhibition‘ eBook earlier today. It was a pleasure to be apart of this project, here is one of the spreads which featured my ‘BOX’ concept.

For more information on the project please see the ‘An Oddinary Exhibition post.’

Special thanks to Lucius Young and to the rest of the ‘Oddinary’ Team!
