Folding letters

I like the idea of the letters folding out from themselves, referring to the way i came up with the typeface.

More stings

More ideas for stings and how it could be used laid over footage for eg, for documentary content.

Sting idea


Overlaying of coloured layers moving back and forth and emerging from behind black. Reminiscent of More 4 idents/stings.

Playing around




Some basic ideas for development of branding which could be applied to idents or stationery etc.

And an idea for an ident starting to take shape, taking inspiration from Giovanii Pintori's Olivetti branding:

HOME identity work

My final logo for the TV channel HOME and associated sketchbook work which shows how it came about. I was originally looking at cross stitch 'Home Sweet Home' but took looked more at the shape of just one stitch and the simplified lines it made which then evolved into an origami style letter shapes and finally into this. As this also is reminiscent of arrows i lends itself to more development of narrative which i can use in idents/stings/bugs etc.

FMP: Collage work...




Some more collage work for my fmp. I am trying to pull out important symbols in my work - here the sewing needle which comes up again and again in fairytales, often as a threat of death, and the mushroom which are eaten out of curiosity in Alice in Wonderland and have been an enduring feature of folklore. I have experimented with pulling the colour out of parts of the collage and accentuating the red lips of the women which i think works really well.



FEED mag article on poster design from the 1960s



This is a personal inspiration for me in my design work and i have tried to combine my own illustration with a clean layout to put a twist on the usual style.

FMP: Collage work...

I need to work into these but its a start. The themes behind these are China's one child policy (pulling narrative from The Little Matchgirl) and the persecution of women as witches (pulling narrative from The Mermaid).

Elephant Magazine

I bought the brand new design magazine Elephant this month just in time for our magazine brief. I have decided to examine this magazine in my essay. Elephant has a strong typographic language with each article introduced uniquely with a different typographic design. Design and art direction is provided by Matt Willey of Studio8, a London agency who have also provided guest art direction and design for Futu and editorial design for international arts magazine Map.
