Computer Arts Projects: Beyond Trend’s feature

For a feature based on the book Beyond Trends, I commissioned one of my new favorite illustrators The Sicksystems from Russia.

Computer Arts Projects: The future of green design feature.

For a feature on The Future of green design I hollered at my main man over at the Jam Factory, Gavin Strange and gave him free reign to cook up a lovely opening illustration. And got this Ewok esque Owl designing village. Great stuff from a really talented guy. http://news.jam-factory.com/

Computer Arts Projects: Future Proof design feature.

Design and Art Direction for a feature on Future Proof Design. The basic jist of the feature is it’s talking about how in the future you need to be able to master more than one discipline. So you need to be able to design for print, for web, for motion. Cooked up this brilliant Dr Frankenstein esque multi disciplinary monster with the brilliant and regular Projects contributor Mark Verhaagen.

Cheese Farm Customs Logo

Another day of cold and another bit of logo design. This time for another mate back in Newcastle who’s setting up a custom car garage.

Didn’t have loads of time to spend on this and there’s still loads i could do with it, but i quite like the cheekyness and simplicity of it at the mo. What else could you do when your presented with this amazing name but go cheese and mouse tastic on it’s ass!

DJ Dodd Logo…

I’m full of cold and feeling a bit poo today so amused my self by designing a logo for a really good mate who’s starting to get more DJ work.

Quite a self explanitory logo and only a pitched idea at the mo.
