Committee Government

Committee is apart of a university project where I set myself the task of rebranding the UK government, set to the similar style of 1984.

I was inspired by the Ministry of Food and decided to use a stamp and embosser for my identity. This gave the piece an old fashioned look and feel.

I designed identity cards, stationary and a booklet explaining what Committee is.

Airship LZ-127

This project was such a joy to work on. It was a collaboration project with three of my friends from University who include Jon Bland, Lindsay Clayton and Emma Douglas. I enjoyed the work so much because it was the first time ever that I have created a book from scratch and I simply learnt so much in the process.

The book is based on the Airship, The LZ-127. The history on that airship alone is simply fascinating.

More photographs of the book will be coming soon.

Barcelona Typography

For this project I have created eight leaflets. Each showcasing my eight typefaces which have been inspired by the city of Barcelona, Spain. My main typeface and template which relate the typefaces together was inspired by the grid structure of the city. The remaining typefaces have been inspired from photographs I had taken on my trip.

Film Typography

A typographical treatment for the Ezekiel 25:17 scene from the film Pulp Fiction.

My book format was a concertina formed from a sheet of A1. This was to make it feel as though the book never ended because once you got to the end you could flip the book and start over. This was to highlight that Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Jules, always said this dialogue to countless numbers of people.

For the character Brett, I letterpressed his dialogue on to tracing paper. This was to show that is character was transparent and the viewer could see that he had done wrong. The letterpressed characters were printed unevenly and not fully coated. This was to show Brett’s fear.

I wanted to create a perspective feel to the piece. This was to show the positioning of Jules, Brett and the viewer (camera). So Brett’s lines were printed back to front but since they were on tracing paper, you can easily turn the page and read them. Jules’ lines were printed large with an angle to them. This was to show Jules’ power in the scene as well as to show he was standing the whole time.

The techniques I have employed for this piece include screenprinting, letterpress printing, custom type and binding.

Facts of the Human Body

A book I created as part of a University project on the human body.

I used a combination of digital printing for the imagery and letterpress for the typography.
