Response to ISTD Brief "100"

This was my response to the ISTD brief "100"  
A poster that dates the history of Britain's currency system. The final outcome was an A2 screen printed poster in metallic gold ink. A supplement and postage tube also accompanied the piece.

Featured Exhibition

The Third Feature I have made in the Northumbria Design Exhibition. Entitled "Out of Place" the project came about through a design intervention project. Whereby our brief was to demonstrate an engaging and subversive approach to design using any medium or form within a given space. Collaborative piece with graphic design Donna Wearmouth

Featured Exhibition

Recently I have been featured in the Northumbria Design Exhibition for my collaborative project on a book publishing project.

A Guide to Edinburgh

Taking inspiration from a recent trip to Edinburgh and seeing some of the brillaint sites around the city. I began to create a fun an interactive map that would engage with the user allowing them to plan a route around the city easily choosing which attractions to visit.

The idea was to produce a product which would allow the tourist to easily navigate the best route over a vast space without the need for cumbersome large maps.

Lino-Cutting

Here's some of the lino-cuts which I made for a book illustration. I'll post the prints soon.

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!
