We Are The Future // EEA // Flyer and Publication Design

A couple of months ago, the amazing people over at Emergency Exit Arts got me involved in We Art The Future, a research, performance and journalism project, aiming to engage young people, from schools in the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, about the history of activism and protest within their local communities.

I brought my design skills along to two days of a week long youth journalism workshop, the end result of which was to be a publication featuring the information and views discovered/discussed throughout the week. As well as researching we encouraged the young people to investigate design ideas and aesthetics and get to grips with the complicated process of producing, laying out and designing a magazine. We the EEA team then had the task of taking this information and pulling it together into a publication. The end result is being launched at the event on Saturday off the back of a day of live debate, presentations, performances and workshops. Pretty proud of how it all turned out. Will put up a pdf once I have the final version.

Credits to Darryl Daley (my co designer on the publication), the EEA team and all the young people involved.

Foul Fowl // Abyssinian Ground Hornbill

Another addition to the Foul Fowl collection, tho really this one ain't that ugly, but I may be losing my judgement concerning such things. Birds are ace and there are so friggin many of them!

Art! vs Science!

Cd artwork for a birthday present. I am obviously biased but Art would clearly win in this showdown.

AOI Serco Illustration Competition // FINISHED!

So I have finally finished it and entered, a few changes typography tweaked a bit and image flipped to fit better with text, plus I've tfl-ed it up. Perhaps not enough but hey I tried. Wish me luck! The competition is going to be pretty tough.

Foul Fowl

I am rather pleased with myself for that name, albeit pretty obvious it took a while for it to occur to me. Obviously having issues with the title Ugly Birds and the connotations therein I was looking for something better and behold. Genius. Check out the King Vulture, he/she (both genders look like this) be one fugly – and at the same time sort beautiful – mo fo.

I need a wider selection of paints, and to apply them thicker. Decision of the day. Night night xx

The Dinosaurs of Crystal Palace Park // AOI Secret London Competition (WIP)

This is a part of a work in progress for the Serco/AoI Secret London competition. I just need to somehow incorporate something to do with TFL in there somewhere hmmmm. Many ideas I have but none strike me as the one. It will come. There is time. If you have never visited the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace you really should cos they are pretty awesome, just round the corner from CP station which is these days the end of the London Overground. Built in 1852 by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins they are the first examples of dinosaur sculptures in the world (literally just learnt that, thanks wikipedia) and pre date Darwins origin of the species.
