Is Drawing Dead?


This February the Yale School of Architecture will host “Is Drawing Dead?,” a symposium that considers the present and future role of drawing in the architectural profession.
Pentagram’s Michael Bierut and Yve Ludwig have designed a poster for the event using the simple design parameters of the series of posters we’ve designed for Yale since 1998: black, white and type. Here, a broken pencil takes the form of a “Y.” And yes, the poster was originally conceived with a hand-drawn sketch.

More4 rebrand.





Man Vs Machine says the project was prompted by a change in programming to make the channel more lifestyle-focused. The consultancy was appointed to the work following a pitch last autumn.Man Vs Machine founder Mike Alderson says, ‘We’ve used 15 triangles to make up the new brand. It comes to life by inhabiting real world spaces.’ In idents, these include Dungeness beach in Kent and Victoria Park, London. Alderson says the brand’s appeal comes from it being ‘satisfying’ rather then being ‘all singing and all dancing’. He says this brings ‘an honesty’ to the on-screen idents. Man vs Machine turned to Jason Bruges Studio, tasking it with animating the triangular shapes in the channel idents.

Had my first interview for digital design agency, check it out!!

All of their work is digital based, not an area where my work has great strength in,  they were looking for a concept based graphic designer. Interview went well, fingers crossed!!!

Home made pizzas







On a boring sunday evening, what else does a unemployed designer do to show their creativity.....in my case making home made pizzas. Never done this before but they turned out pretty good!! It was surprisingly cheap to make 4 pizzas, better than the pizza takeaways I am used too!

New Years Resolutions!!

I am a big believer in the 'new year, new me' phrase, although I don't want to be as drastic as that. I have made a few new years resolutions and I am determined to stick to them....

1. See my family more.
2. Become the graphic designer I can be_one foot in the door!
3. STOP borrowing money.
4. Aim for London!!

However, I do make resolutions every year, some I stick too so lets hope all these do!!!

Few pictures from my summer travels.






Working the summer in Ibiza has to be the best things I have ever done, so here's just a few pictures of the islands best parts with the best people.
