Snippet from the trailer I made for Jon Hopkins.
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".
At the beginning of this year I worked on a project where my drawings have been translated into 3d objects. These characters where sculpted from my drawings by the very talented Alex Simpson. These characters are just one element of the project, so there is more to come.
My book “The New Ghost" has recently been translated into French by Nobrow. It has also been given a new hardback cover too.
