Man in Black
2007
Description
This was a personal project. I had the idea of an all black poster to represent the Johnny Cash song 'Man in Black'. I decided a spot varnish would work well.
I then set about customising a font to remove as much detail as possible without loosing its function. I felt this would represent the essence of the song well.

This image was made for a pitch. The brief was to create a thriller inspired poster design to promote a treasure hunt competition. It was a great little project to get as I love old movie posters. I decided to do a bit of mashup of 50's Saul Bass inspired posters with a bit of grindhouse trash.Illustration2011 -
A logo made for a friend's Vietnamese restaurant. They wanted a contemporary logo. I took inspiration from the Vietnamese language which uses an awful lot of different accents. These accents inspired me to create sharp triangular forms.Logo2006 -
I had been reading a bit about Jungian archetypes and I fancied playing around with the idea of the standard rebel archetype, your Che Guevara so to speak. I took a picture of a model standing in a classis pose and set about work creating a rebel themed image with simulated paint and screenprinting.Illustration2008 -
This was a personal project to see how well I could replicate that screen printed gig poster look and feel using only Photoshop and Illustrator as my tools.Illustration2009
