He recently completed his project 10 Penneth which is an accompaniment to a lecture series that he has given to students of Graphic Design. He aims to encourage students to success....It's what I need!

It's from the same people that told us to 'Keep Calm & Carry On'.
Nazi invasion isn't one of my fears, but creative block is so I've bagged myself one of these lovely prints!

Music Channel
A new project I am working on is to create a new music channel. I am collaborating with designer Jack Haslehurst. we both have very different approaches to design so I'm excited to see the outcome!
The channel can take two forms: either a Live music channel, which will offer viewers the chance to watch their favourite bands live. But not any live performance! We believe that the live experience is about getting in the crowd, appreciating the lighting effects, but also having the chance to meet the band. We will offer the 3D live experience! Interviews, shows, competitions & Venues will all be included.
Alternatively, we will create a music channel which offers the best of the classic video games soundtracks. You may think this is only for the nerds amongst you, but trust us.....THIS STUFF IS ADDICTIVE! The channel includes live games, music from your favourite games, a chance to get your messages in and even music from giant orchestras!
We will be designing the brand identity for the channel, here are a few logo and identity designs so far:

tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
My first animation. A success and a pleasure working with the team I did.
The concept behind this short animation is that the book of knowledge is what enables growth to take place, it gives knowledge and information. From this knowledge you grow wiser and also you grow literally over time. The tree grows from the pages of the book, then a new book of knowledge grows on that tree, which produces a loop in the animation. Similarly to a circle of life and new beginning.
This is a preview of the animation, there are still editions to be made.

Inspirational Clips
I am producing a typographic motion graphic, containing a clip of spoken word which I am or have been inspired by and want to share with others. Here are 3 possible clips which I may use.
This is a short film by Deborah Anzalone who came to give a lecture at my university in October. Deborah's enthusiasm and passion that went into her work was so inspirational to me, her devotion, drive and inspiration encouraged me to continue to do what I enjoy my work and be open minded.
This film is beautiful. everythin' aint gonna be right, everything will become right when I'm dancin'
An extract of Erik Spiekermann from the documentary film 'Helvetica' by Gary Hustwit. (See 1:46 into the clip for speech extract)
This is a clip where Bill Murray talks about new technology. "People have hands...Watches should have hands."

First Draft: Architecture Illustration
I want an illustration which looks as much like a blueprint as possible. This is my first draft, I now want to work on making this plan look realistic - get a few measurements and printers marks in. (click to enlarge this image)

Uncovered
I brought myself an amazing book by Thomas Allen called "Uncovered", he uses 1930's imagery but breaks free from 2D confines. His pictures are alive and are given an entirely new life. He uses no computer aftereffects of any kind to produce the images, only a four-by-five-inch film camera. Incredible stuff!
Amsterdam
I spent this weekend in Amsterdam, an experience to say the least!
Dutch Graphic Design has always been outstanding, however even when it comes down to cheap flyers and shop signs they continue to create some real beauts. I picked up a few of the flyers below when I was there.
I also went to the Foam Gallery while I was there, the exhibition on at the time was "Alexander Rodchenko - Revolution in Photography". I have always loved Rodchenko for his collage and propaganda work from the USSR, but to see the photography work as well was incredible. It was great to see one of the first most recognised photographers and the analogue vintage prints.

If You Could Collaborate
I went to an awesome exhibition in Shoreditch this week. It was called "If You Could Collaborate", designers teamed up with other designers with different experience to create some outstanding work.
With the Architecture Type I'm working on, the typography from Praline & The Model Shop called "Avec" was very inspiring. It's based on architectural floor plates and comes in three weights, they presented the type with neon lights.
Craig Ward, Sean Freeman & ALison Carmichael also exhibited a set of wooden laser cut typography. They were beautiful! The type was called "Calligraffiti".

Word Play
It's been a while, but it's a new year and going to get crackin' with some work.
I've been working on an illustration project recently. The objective is to create a contemporary and conceptual solution to communicate the word "Architecture".
This is the zine I compiled with my research and first ideas; included is a centre pull-out.
