The Dead Series DesignsCLICK TO VIEW PROJECT IMAGES
This project is volume 1 of a series of illustrated designs created to be sold exclusively at the ONE YEAR ON Show in Islington London. These two pieces were presented to the judging panel along with my application.
The original concept behind these pieces was to work with the idea of a play on words. Initially I had been playing with the phrase ‘Dead Beat’ and its meaning. However I came to the conclusion of using a more literal interpretation, Dead meaning the deceased and Beat representing a musical beat.

Illustrated Logos & BrandingCLICK TO VIEW PROJECT IMAGES
I was approached by two family run businesses, one a Publisher the other a Press based in California.
Both required logos for their new brands, however different from the standard style which most new brands use.
These two ambitious businesses required something more, something quirky and different. I was briefed to create two illustrated logos which were pieces of art in themselves. They had to tell a story and reflect classical and vintage qualities which was strongly emphasised by the clients, but most importantly the designs had to be hand drawn.
