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Using some out of date ginger i put together this piece; the initial for the title The Redwalls.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

OK.

Created for personal entertainment!!
Earlier in the year i began developing a set of letter forms for a three dimensional alphabet - here is a piece of artwork created from those developments. I hope to have the full package available soon.

New Website, New Intro.

This is my interpretation of recycling grass cuttings, by rendering typography!

Kerning the Lawn

Dubai Exhibition Project

A collaboration project with Vivek.

Photographic experimentation for the first A1 poster design:

“Hallucination is just a visual dyslexia.”
Vivek

The initial concept, to play with the ideas of perception via visual representation. Adding the notion of surgical illness to the concept of visual dyslexia and adding a multi-dimensional impact incorporating many levels of visual communication. By adding the clip to the design as a three dimensional letter form only adds to the drama of the piece and will enable lots of visual play. The next step is to illustrate around the ‘a’ of the ‘hallucination.’

UPDATED 14th May ‘08: The above exploration has been featured on the amazing Ventilate, a website which discovers and showcases all the latest innovative visuals and conceptual projects.

“Sarah France is doing some cool stuff with Design & Typography. Pay a visit to her blog, she’s really nice!”
Jason Doherty

A big thank you to Jason.

UPDATED 16th May ‘08: The full typographic treatment, exp. 1.

This is the more structured style (select image for larger view).

Tonally, hallucination could do with being darker to take your eye to the beginning of the quote. I may suggest to Vivek to add more subtle graphics to also enhance this. All in all, i feel it has the desired effect and works well with the 3 Dimensional A of the clip. This design has now been submitted to Vivek, it will be fascinating to see how he applies the finishing touches to this collaboration.
