Website

Recently I have been busy getting together my work for big scary degree show, which is happening in June. But also been building my website to allow me to get out there amongst everyone and all that jazz. So here are some pictures of what its looking like so far.

Technology Ring

Brief set by 'the chase' design company, which was entitled:

"Two Side to the story"

Concept was to use infographics as a means of plotting the history of technologic inventions and how technology has taken over society today. The 'two sides' being the the positive effect of the invention at the time it was invent and the negative effect of it in terms of society today. Its large format was designed so that you can see how full of technology life is today and how simple it once was. The quote that the project is based on was by Ervin Laszlo:

Technology Is A Powerful Instrument, But Essentially An Instrument It Must Only Be

Scale Poster


Here is the final piece for the Scale project I started last year.

"Measurement Is Vital For The Existence Of Scale"

The organs that I posted before have been placed into the human body and the diagram has been filled in around them. The final print is A0, however I have only been able to add a small image of it below. It would have looked wicked larger though. The body is displayed in the vernacular of an Architectural drawing, complete with Key, Scales & Information Bar. The organs have not really changed that much since i last posted them, however there are some closer images of the drawing too, which makes it easier to see the level of detail. Enjoy!!!

Scale


First images from production of brief based around the word 'Scale'.

"Measurement Is Fundamental For Scale'

In order to communicate this I am using the image of the human body and the organs within. By linking one of the six architectural units of measure to one of the vital organs of the body; it communicates the fact that one can not live without the other. Each building that represents an organ will then include specific architectural symbols that support each unit of measure. Below are the single drawings of the organs, which will eventually become part of a full body diagram. The organs will be 'to scale' and in their rightful positions in the body; and I will also be filling in the rest of the human body shape to support the concept. The overall visual will take the visual nature of an architectural plan. More finalized photos to come.

Self Promotion


I recently completed a project promoting myself as a designer and experimented with how I wanted myself to be advertised in the graphics industry. The idea was to produce a 3D blueprint to communicate me as being an organised and particular person. The blueprint was then printed on thin paper, rolled up and packaged in a small tube for postage. I replicated this style on to my stationery, which included my business card, compliment slip, letterhead etc.





I am continually updating the blueprint in this project, adding more and more to the designers desk. I am also going to be producing some still-life photographs of the blue objects, which I will add up here to. More pictures on the way of the blueprint and its development.
