Some public interventions and some framing fun!

Just come back from London the other day from my internship at an amazing graphic design agency called KMD, lots of great stuff happening there and it felt great to be part of the design process.

Between working there and managing other work I had a bit time to look around London and do some of the more tourist style things. So I had a look in the Design Museum located along the riverside near Tower Bridge (possibly one of my most favourite areas of London).

Well worth the entry price for any designer looking to take in some brilliant inspiration on their trip. When I visited they had a Mariscal exhibition on at the time (not sure if this is a permenant exhibition or not) but there was some really nice packaging pieces and illustrations that I thought I would share.

One other thing, photography is permitted as long as you don't use a flash!

From dusk till dawn. From business to pleasure. London.

A series of posters created through a university brief.

The History Boys- Collarge & photography.

Under Milk Wood- Lino-cut typography, origami and photography.

An Inspector Calls- Wood block letterpress print and photography.

Tunnels

A project I did a little while back. Simply entitled: Tunnels; the idea behind it was to create a set of images which would create a common collection. The final piece was large format printed A1 on a white gloss paper.

A representation of an overheard conversation from Myspace Mars Planets Radio represneted solely through typography.

A Hard back leather book, featuring folio bound pages on a white stock. The title is screen printed on using varnish and gives a reflective appearence when the book is held.

I decided to experiment with some long exposure shots one night so i took my camera out in Newcastle city centre. I think I'll look into more of this work soon and work on the exposure time.

A brief set at university to rebrand of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburh. The aim was to create a vibrant and welcoming identity that would appeal to a younger market. A range of stationary products and uniforms where created.

A gift which was to be handed out at the banquet. Based on the annual chinese lantern festival a unique piece of packaging would house a silver lantern with a scented candle and a small folded book about the fesitval.

The idea behind this book was to create a set of images that would relate to the text however if they where seperated both would be of a different subject matter. I used games such as guess who, screwball scramble and snakes & ladders.

I bound the book using coptic stitch featuring off white stock. Its a hard back book with brown leather cover and a screen printed title.

A brief set at university to create the identity for Newcastle Tram Line.

The aims where to design something that would appeal to a wide market and be eaily integrated into Newcastle aswell as stand out from its competitors in terms of other transport

I was out in Whitley Bay a while back looking at some natural typographic refereneces found in the landscape.  Heres a few that i felt worked well together.

A typographic poster project taking an important historical moment in time and displaying it through the use of type only. I looked at the John F. Kennedy assassination.
