Flatterland conventional book

Flatterland is a book about a line called Victoria and a spacehopper – not the best storyline I know but it was a nice typesetting exercise. This is the conventional version, but uses an asymmetric column layout. The diary entries that Victoria writes are tip ins that fold inward so they cannot be immediately read, as diaries are secret and shouldn't be read by others.

ISTD 2010 -- consider me MISTD!

So second time lucky it is. My Alice in Wonderland book got me an ISTD. How exciting! Certainly was not expecting it as I almost didn't enter. But there you go. Luck of the draw. 


Anyway, the book is a nonsensical look at 'rules' of wonderland of which there are 100 as it was the 100 brief.

CHOOSE DEATH ... as a living.

This project was for the Roses competition and the brief was to encourage school leavers to join the funeral industry. I haven't convinced myself but I did learn some interesting facts. Did you know that embalming fluid is pink? It's so you look healthy when they pump it into you.

Anyway my submission includes an invitation which would fall out of careers magazines and other publications of that sort to advertise a forthcoming lecture on 'an introduction to funeral directing'. The rest is a poster and a booklet that would accompany the lecture.

European flag

This is my submission for the design a new european flag contest.

Amazing, is it not? Rather too flower power, I think for the EU.

But what the heck. It's free to enter and I can say I'm on a website.

my modelling debut

Okay so this is really a look at my friend's website but I am on there twice

because of a magazine collaboration, and on the first page of the site!

I don't think I'll be getting a lot of modeling work from this but Kerry's work is very good.

Music music all around

Okay so I haven't blogged for ages! Unis been hectic. Really hectic. But I'm getting back into it.

So here's probably one of the only things I've done that hasn't been for competitions. Two record sleeves, one for a real band and another for an imaginary one. I think you can probably guess which is which.

Rainbow 2nd time round

So I just like rainbows!

Plus it does also show off my new panoramic view from my flat this year.
