These are just a couple of logos I've done in the past, for personal, college & competition work. I'm keen to display them all in the same format as I think it makes for a nicer portfolio finish.

Here are some film posters I've done for an exhibition at Keswick Film Festival, I wanted to create a continuos theme of simplified imagery, stripping something right down to it's elemental values.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about, I think once edited properly & paired up with a slick typeface, these images have the potential to be cutting edge Graphic Design.

Red Shred!

Look at these little beauties! I call it "The Red Shred Project", it really is amazing what you can do with some cut up card and a big camera, I'm going to have a play about with them and edit the white balance etc. But then hopefully they'll be even neater, hoping to post some results up soon of some finished outcomes.

I really love these, even if I do say so myself... I wanted to get some graphic references in there. Tried my best to be witty, intelligible & creative. The typeface is gorgeous too! Hero Light? Yes please!

Get a bit of typography in there... Can anyone guess the lyric?

I was going through some old photo's of mine a couple of days ago, when I found this delightful little silhouette I had taken of my friend against the setting sun and the shore. I decided I would use this to make an example of the many different ways you can treat an image, below the actual photograph are a just a few of those possibilities. There were many different reasons I had for giving an image a certain feel, whether it was to add a hand-drawn element to it, or to emphasise the natural contrast of the silhouette being created. Please enjoy looking at them as I have enjoyed working with them.

Cup Illustrations

 HANG 10 DUDE!

 OH...HI!

OH I DO LOVE BEING A CUP.

I have created these illustrations to show the life experiences of a humble cup. I have achieved this style of drawing with a graphics tablet, an illustrating program, and a calligraphy pen tool. The use of layers is vitally important, because firstly I sketch out the shapes and outline I want in the image. Then, on another layer below the first, I simply block in the empty space with my desired colour. To add the this effect and to also add an element of 3D, I darken the shade of colour and apply to certain areas. I have thoroughly enjoyed both designing these images, and illustrating.
