Band Night Ticket

Here’s a sneak peek of an invite made for a band night. Classic and clean style for a charity fund raiser and big band music.

Identity & Archive Project

Tau — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:21:46 +0000

Here’s a little sneak peak of a new project started last week. I’m working with Illustrator, Textile designer and Set designer Olivia Darlington to create a fully formed identity package. The scope of the work is very extensive and due to the varied nature of Olivia’s work allows for a wide scope of visual material. I’ve known Olivia for almost a decade and the sheer variety of work produced makes it a joy to photograph and work with.

And here’s a sneak peak at the letter work for the logo, classic forms with a slightly modern twist.

The new identity is now almost fully formed, bellow are a few shots of the branded sketchbook I created.

Identity Update

Tau — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 11:21:17 +0000

Here’s a quick sneak peak of the visual identity update for the site etc. I’ve broken the chevron into two pieces and developed a number of pattern varieties for different applications, formats and so on. I’ll be updating the site with new visuals relatively soon, but until then I’ve cleaned the whole thing up and added a couple of new projects to tide you over.

Exhibition Work

Tau — Mon, 30 May 2011 16:50:17 +0000

Here’s an update I should have posted a while ago. This year I’ve been lucky enough to have worked on two exhibitions shown at the Lighthouse gallery in the centre of Glasgow. This exhibition celebrates the common wealth games which will come to Glasgow next. My main area of focus for the show was the enormous map (hand re-drawn in 3 days) and information graphics placed on the wall opposite.

New Work, Old Student

Tau — Mon, 30 May 2011 16:37:02 +0000

My final year at Art School is now complete, all the work has been handed in and hung in the annual degree show exhibition. I only have a few weeks left before loosing my student status and so, as all the work has been completed, I have updated this website with the very last of my student work. What has been added is all 4th year work and the culmination of my degree. I encourage anyone interested in design of all types to visit this years Glasgow School of Art degree show which opens to the general public on the 10th of June. This years Visual Communications show is the largest and most varied the school has ever put on and contains many exciting pieces from rising stars, I promise that we have all worked extremely hard to make the space particularly unique this year as it will be the last show in the current building before it is knocked down.

If you happen to run or work for a studio and are interested in attending the designers evening before the show opens to the public, feel free to get in contact and I will see if there are any spare tickets available.

New Projects and Photo’s!

Tau — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 19:17:49 +0000

I’ve finally got around to adding a few new projects to the site. One of the areas I’ve been dedicating more time to recently is photography, a solid portfolio of print projects can be completely let down by poor photography no matter how competent the design work is.

Above is a photo of my current studio setup for taking pictures of my projects, I’ve utilised the light box I built earlier in the year as its a strong source of light and has pure white bulbs for the best balance of colour. Whilst this setup is slightly rough around the edges the affect has been quite successful and a worth while investment, making photography of my projects extremely enjoyable to undertake.

New Look

Tau — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 12:19:59 +0000

Welcome to the new website! Please bare with me whilst I squash all the bugs and please if you do spot any let me know so I can fix them a.s.a.p. Various updates are coming over the next few weeks, from photography updates to new projects. Feel free to take a look around and I hope you enjoy the update.

Project Book

Tau — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 14:23:46 +0000

Online portfolio’s are all well and good, but eventually you need to get in front of clients and prospective employers, talking to them face to face and have something real and tangible to show them. Featured bellow are a few snapshots of my physical portfolio, a little smaller than A3 and bound by book screws. This type of binding allows for a wider array of paper types to be used and for the page order to change depending on the interviewer and availability of new projects.

Welcome

Tau — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:35:34 +0000

Welcome to the brand new website. It’s still very much a work in progress, everything works reasonably smoothly, however there are a few issues to smooth out and interactions to complete. You should be able to find your way around fairly easily and all the links and navigations should now work, but if for some reason you find an issue, try again later as I’m working on most of the bugs and testing most browsers. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the new work on show.
