Ill Studio




Another catalogue from Ill studio that is once again very simple but to the point. It is for Frances oldest wax candle manufactorer. It has some history about the company and that is all.

I think with the Fedrigoni handout it is simplicity is key. The paper needs to speak for itself and not have a lot of image or type dominating the stock.

Ill Studio - Nike




This is another magazine/newspaper mail - out from Ill studio. The stock was obviousley a strong point for them to design the aesthetic part of the design.

Paper will be the main part of the design for my Fedrigoni brief. I want the paper to speak for itself, so I dont want much printed on it, just something to let people know that its the stock that Fedrigoni produce.

Alter Design




This is a short quaterly magazine from Alter. It is printed on light newsprint but has a really nice aesthectic. The whole idea is that its like a newspaper, so they made all of the type out of paper.

I want to create some sort of newspaper type small publication for Fedrigoni. It is to encourage people to go and see their showroom in London. I think that a thin magazine showing off a selection of paper will be effective.

Print Run - Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation


Anthony Burril





BB Saunders





Build





Cartlidge Levene





Experimental Jetset





Parra


This is a print run for a charity. The charity called for all entries from prolific designers and printers of our generation. The theme was 'Design Makes me Sick'. this was supposed to reflect upon how as designers we are wrapped up in out work. The idea behind the show was that our body's are spectacularly made and as designers we feel if something has gone off to print without our involvement in printing, it isn't as spectacular as it could be.

This is a really good idea for a pint show. It made the designers really think about what to create rather than just churn something out.

This is the description / introduction / background of the show / brief:

Health is a condition of the body and mind. The term has gained large media coverage in recent years, introducing a whole new social conscious toward well being. While the media affirms that its information is passed as impartial it delivers a confused model of health, predominantly between its offer of dietary advice and its unscrupulous access into celebrity weaknesses. With every statement concerning health, questions or counter-statements are raised; this goes to show that the term 'health' is ambiguous and amorphous, defined by the individual's sense of their personal condition. In turn, this is a reflection of design, on how we perceive pure, flawless, 'healthy' work,

Design and health both embody tangible and intangible facets; while its form is evidently present in our environments, often our needs as designers for structure and clarity must come from the same formless conditioning we recognize as health. Understanding that health is a key aspect to design became elaborated during the late period of modernism, where wholesome ideals were transcended into both business and leisure activities.

The conscious decision-making when designing, is our way of finding personal resolve and vitality. It is common amongst graphic designers that once a complete piece of work has gone to print that there is a lack of personal fulfillment; it appears that a designer needs more than a printed outcome to feel that their work
is complete.

Sixpack - Ill Studio




The graphics on these shirts are inspired by 70's radical architecture and based on photo-collage representing unreal poetic landscapes. Delivered with a small fanzine of 24 pages format 9x11 cm.

This is the type of style and theme driven apparel and zine. I want to give my apparel a theme of mystery, coming with a zine and packaged in a way that you don't know what t-shirt you will be getting. Thats the whole part of the mystery. I think i want to do it about space. The mystery of some of the universe.

Folch Studip - Anima Negra




Leaflet and cd artwork for the artist Joan Morey. Produced for the "BCN Producció 09. I really like the whole one colour simple print method. This company seems to capitalize on this method. I want to work toward this in my final module. The composition of all the work is spot on and the reverse colours from page to page is brilliant.

Folch Studio - Art Catalog




This is a catalog for an art exhibition. Released for the presentation of the "Suena Brillante". The presentation took place at the "Ping Pong" shop in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. Limited edition of 333 copys. Once again it is really simple with a minimal colour pallete. This is something I will take on when designing for the year book brief.
