An exploration of type. A french exploration.
October 27, 2009
As part of my design studies, I had to create a type specimen book on any typeface family that had a variety of cuts/weights. I decided to go with a bit of a forgotten classic, Eras ITC. After researching the font, I discovered its french heritage, and decided I was going to have fun with the book, and leave the boring homogenous type specimens behind, and instead, opt for bold, lively and dynamic sample text and compositions, much like the font itself.
A little colour for the community… Woohoo!

This is the artwork* I have created for a community initiative to help beautify boring old traffic signal boxes along footpaths and roads around communities in South East Queensland through the Urban Ecology Unit. This artwork is for a TSB near the Alexandra Headlands surf club, and is still waiting on approval.

My first emboss!
November 13, 2008
Turns out it was a deboss. How anti-climatic. Had to go with a silver foil, as the compendium wasn’t thick enough for a highly visible blind emboss. I don’t think it turned out too badly though.

A shot of the storyboarding I did for my portfolio. I liked the fact that the pages could easily be rearranged to view possible sequencing options.

homeless world cup BAD avant card competition entry
This was an entry I whipped up in about 30mins for the BAD club avantcard postcard competition for the 2008 homeless worldcup. The guidelines for producing HWC material were extremely strict, as sponsors had certain positioning, and only certain colours and fonts, and placement were to be used. This was an interesting project to work on in such a short space of time.
