Picador 40th Anniversary

Over the summer I was asked to design some of the covers for Picador's 40th anniversary series. The Brief was that every cover was to be designed only in solid black and white. Certain areas of the cover are printed in black ink and other areas are a glossy black foil. The process of the foil slightly de-bossing the paper and creating reflective area's creates shifts in tone and texture on the finished book. Personally I was hoping for a classic typeface to run throughout the series to tie it all together, but this wasn't the case and I feel that some suffer from this like the cover for "Dirt Music".

Guinness

At the start of the year I was approached by Blinkart to be part of an interesting project for Guinness. The project involved collaborating with a number of talented illustrators, carvers and art directors. here is what Blink say about it. Blinkart was commissioned by Saatchi and Saatchi to create a physical piece to celebrate the history of Guinness from 1759 to the present day, as well as making an accompanying film to launch their new brand strategy “Made Of More”. In response we built a twelve foot, two ton sculptured plinth which depicts the story of Guinness in the round, conceived and designed by David Wilson. David Wilson selected illustrators Robert Hunter, Bradley Jay, Micah Lidberg, and design studio Village Green to each draw a section of the story which would then be hand carved into the solid sculpture, marrying their individual different styles and creating a rich texture and depth to the monument.

Memory Palace V&A

I was commissioned by the V&A to illustrate a 16 page narrative explaining the process of making the exhibition Memory Palace which opens this week. The Narrative is featured in the accompanying book “Memory Palace" written by the novelist Hari Kunzru.

Pitch images

I worked on a pitch last week for an animated commercial. I presented style frame images and a short animated test in a couple of days. Despite being told the pitch I provided was the strongest, unfortunately (typically), they changed their idea and have pulled the project. So to prevent it from being a complete waste of time above are two of the style frame images I proved in the pitch.

New Ghost 2nd Edition

The book i produced for nobrow has gone to its second edition. The print finish is much nicer this time around and the colours truer to the origonal design.
