"We were invited to exhibit at the Dazed and Confused Gallery, as part of a show to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Dr Duncan MacDougall’s infamous experiment: He claimed to have found that the human soul weighs 21 grams. We created a series of offset litho prints accounting the various reactions and triggers to 21 grams of forgotten matter: the inherent soul of our studio floor."

Inspirational 3D Type

'Embedded Thoughts' screenprint

Idea for my poster reflecting 'embedded thoughts'. I went to Beijing last summer, and havn't stopped thinking or talking about it since. Although i spent 2 weeks there and saw so much, the majority of the memories are based on the photographs i took, so i'm gonna make a photocollage screenprint.

1 day project

1 day colour project to create an image dipicting yellow, by using purple. This was the solution; taking the usual yellow "Caution - slippery when wet" warning sign, and creating a purple one that conveys the opposite message, refering to purple being the opposing/complimenting colour to yellow. Where yellow says 'caution', purple says 'take it easy'.

A1 Screenprint

Image + Sound = Very Effective!

Great ad campaign for Sound production company 'Saxsofunny', featuring printed media that create the sounds of the images printed on them.

Keane Cover Art

Keane have had some really nice cover art over the years. Each album cover is really different from the next, seemingly never maintaining one set style, but always having something really attractive about each one.

Ali Baba

Really nice old print. Cover Design for "The Fourty Theives" (Aubrey Beardsly, 1897)

Berlioz Poster

Poster design advertising a series of lecture talks on Louis Hector Berlioz.

When thinking about the design, i was considering the way in which the poster would be positioned and seen by it audience. This idea of the poster only really making sense when it is pasted up in multiples side-by-side, was inspired by the way that fly posting often involves many identical posters taking over an entire strech of wall. Although, the design also refers to Berlioz himself, as he was a pioneer in utilizing large scale orchestras (over 1000 musicians). The large number of posters used to display the event reflects the way in which Berlioz used a large number of musicians to perform his music.

Pyramids cover art

nice cover for pyramids' 2008 self-titled album

I got this M&S box with a christmas present, and liked it so much i kept it!
