Proportion

An informative monograph on social networking statistics.

8 hours, or the chop!

Today I was given a brief in which I had to complete a series of spreads within a small time frame. The idea was to be creative with the display type, using technical skills and quick thinking...

Toy Design Served

I've just logged on to Behance and found some of my old work featured on one of the served sites!

Prisoner of War

I've done another poster for one of my mates at Uni. I had quite a short amount of time to complete it but I'm happy with how the photograph came out...

Early version I mocked up below, before we had the costumes and less ideas in terms of art direction.

Redesign proposal for the student newspaper. This was the design that was chosen to take forward and will soon be made into the real thing by myself and fellow designers.

TOYS

A friend of mine at the University of Cumbria studying Musical Theatre and Acting asked me to design a poster for his original. Here's the final design...

Proportion [GIFS]

Using the word proportion as a starting point, I've been trying to generate ideas that express this theme by using different materials and and various sources.

For this design, I restricted myself to only using circles and squares and a two colour combination. Using this formula, I have tried different ways of suggesting a change in proportion (shape and size) over a series of nine boxes.

I recently went out and took some photographs of places and objects that worked well within a frame. My plan is to sort through them (crop, adjust) and identify any themes that would be worth taking further. Here's a quick animation using shapes to reveal different shapes within the frame.

Club Concrete Poster

I was asked to design the poster for a Halloween week at Club Concrete in Carlisle. Here's the final design.

"I am the danger"

I decided to post Walter on to the social news website 'reddit', under a subreddit - 'breaking bad'. I managed to gain enough up-votes to maintain it as the highest post for some time. (He's on the way down now)

Subsequently, it has now had 26,000+ views from its original file on imgur!

Walter Blue

Here's the final design from my Walter White drawing I posted previously. The influence for the style came from the on-going theme of  Walt's 'crystal blue' featured in Breaking Bad.

After watching the finale of Breaking Bad Season 5,
I couldn't help but feel the urge to draw this fella. Stay Tuned...

Love Letter Animation

So I have finally got around to starting a blog, and what better way to start it off with some work!
There'll be more work to come in the next few days (fingers crossed). In the meantime, enjoy...
