Somerset House New years eve 

11/11/2013

0 Comments

 
Produced these Art Deco inspired New Years Eve designs working very closely with Generation Press. We used three layers of black over the Gold Majestic From GF Smith to get the right impact of gold. I will make a longer post about the process soon, but I couldn't help putting up some teaser photos. 

Be warned The Somerset House, Clifton, New Years Eve party is going to be one to remember.

POINT OF SALE

9/27/2013

Some point of sale material I was commissioned to design recently. The plinth is cut from valchromat with two grooves milled into it so that the foamex boards can slide in. This makes it very easy to update the graphics as well as the POS being easily put together needing no tools. This is completely flat pack point of sale.

3D Type experiment

8/26/2013

Haven't opened cinema in a while and thought I would play around with some 3D type, using the random mograph effector. I then used photoshop to add in a background and colour the type a bit more. Check out Greyscale Gorilla for loads of tutorials. 

**Wish I rendered it with more fillet cap regions, they are a bit sharp.

Lovely quote from Ken Carbone

4/16/2013

0 Comments

 
I woke up super early today, decided to catch up on some podcasts. So this comes via Design Matters. I try to follow this within my own work. 
See design with a broad lens, keep very nimble stylistically. 
Be intellectually curious. Think it is all great, don't distinguish 
between, I don't do this and I don’t do that. 

It is all design.

-Ken Carbone

Boxing poster effect

I am getting some pretty authentic aesthetics. This style will be used as pull quotes throughout the book. I want them to look like gritty old boxing posters.
