Work in Progress*

If you have not guessed it already, i adore black/white/red and diagonal lines! I created these to give a fresh look to my existing identity, adding a twist.

A Graphic Designer from the USA emailed me requesting one of my self-promotional badges, so i created a little backing card for the badge to be displayed upon. I will also be sending over a few other items; a sticker and possibly a small print of some design work.

Anyone else interested in exchanging graphic work please do get in touch - i think it is a wonderful idea.

Preparing work for my showcase, i spent today photographing working designs in the form of tabletop photography. When presenting completed work, such as the book jacket, the design becomes real when presented in its entirety.

The final design needs a bleed setting (possibly 2mm), other than that, it is now ready for print.

Design was uploaded to Print100.com earlier today and will hopefully arrive in 5 working days.

With the use of my new ink explorations, a new book cover has been created for “Insulin Murders” by V. Marks & C. Richmond. Giving the book a modern, sterilised appearance. With the book being fact based, a serif font was used alongside the boldness of the photographic image.

"Insulin Murders is the first book on the market to describe real life cases of murder (and purported murder) using insulin (& other hypoglycaemic agents) as a murder weapon. Written by a leading authority on insulin and its use as a murder weapon, this is a gripping account of true life crime, intended for doctors and laypeople alike." (RSM Press)

Having watched the opening credits to the Korean thriller, Lady Vengeance, I was intrigued by the effects and the smooth transitions between frames. With the use of a brilliant white background other aspects were then added to the sequence. I tried to replicate their effect of blood dripping into water, and in doing so came up with these wonderful effects, the images captured are rather strange in that compositions are formed naturally and are unpredictable, there is one image, at the bottom, which looks like a Victorian lady feeding her dog.
