At the moment I'm finalizing designs for the Conscripts' demo/press packs and masterminding marketing/publicity activities which involve rallying followers through interaction and involvement.

Reading up on branding, and really must start making notes for my dissertation.
I'm undertaking some branding exercises which focus on taking a seed of truth... and nurturing it. I'll also be experimenting with visual language and tone by producing a series of flyers.

Got some lovely books recently; Visceral Pleasures by Vaughan Oliver (I do so love the Doolittle artwork...I used the demo sleeve years ago for my GCSE sketchbook...here I am again! I really must buy the album as it got misplaced) - Designed by Peter Saville and a few bits on branding/semiotics.

I have to get into town and post my Type Tart Card before the deadline.

This weekend, however, I am paying a much-anticipated visit to London to see my close friend Fyzal Boulifa, up-and-coming writer and director of sumptuously bleak short films

I'll be helping at the Plus Festival on Thursday and am back in Leamington Spa teaching Photoshop to the 15-18 year old massive on Wednesday.

Call for Volunteers

A bit of fun....






Cafe Press




My entry for the Type Tart Cards competition....
As usual, Flickr has made the colours go a bit funny!
(probably my fault for using the wrong palette actually).

Photos from The Conscripts photoshoot



A few photos....my camera isn't too great and keeps uploading pictures in a low res for some reason :(
The band wanted photographs in a wrecked room, a la trainspotting...I'd just moved house and had a mostly empty flat. So I went to my old house and got loads of bags of recycling bottles and rubbish and trashed my new lounge with 2 years' worth of wine bottles that never got put out for recycling.
