Inspiration- Village Green
August 26, 2008 · 2 Comments
“Village Green is a design studio set up by Seb Marling (Blue Source) and Jonathon Cooke (Love). It is a workshop as much as a studio – a place for ideas and a place for industry.”
I come across this on The Serif The other day and simply fell in love with there work, it’s smart, exciting and visually astounding.
Everything i am striving to be as a young designer.
I love there Fabric Posters. (If anyone knows who else designs for fabric please let me know, thanks)

Slow Process Poster For Don’t Panic
August 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment
A Montage Of Design Styles, all showing that to create a piece of art that really stands out takes time and care….Thus being a “SLOW PROCESS”. Many Elements of Design Feature in here be it from photoshop tools and workspaces to photos, screen printed and scanned textures. And when you’ve finished creating your piece digitally there’s always the painfully slow business of saving it.

Clash Magazine Rebrand Pitch
August 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment
This is my pitch for Clash Magazine who are currently considering a change, after altering there format (Going from a square magazine to a traditional rectangular size.)
I chatted to one of the art directors and he happened to mention this to me, and gave me the opportunity as an outsider to pitch a new logo that would fit better and serve as the magazine masthead for the new size/shape.
Here is my logo and a mock up that i designed to show it in use.

Above is My Rebrand Logo That I am pitching to Clash Magazine.

Above Is A Mock Up, Showing The New Shape Of The Magazine Using My New Logo as the masthead.
