Updated work section with all the logos and myspace pages i have been working on this past week for London music venue Monto Water Rats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated work sections with Pop, Bubble, Rock! flyers and logo and LAB Records logo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have now decided to start up a blog through this website to cater for my ideas, thoughts, images and general goings on that don't belong on the main news page of the site. So please go over to the blog section to see what I'm up to on a more weekly basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought I should update this as it has been a while. I will have some new work up over the next week or so including a logo for Blackpool record label LAB Records and flyers for Manchester club night Pop Bubble Rock. I have just started work on some promotional materials for London venue Monto Water Rats for several of their club nights, expect those to surface fairly soon.
My third year at university starts next week and I cant wait. I'm ready to improve on my skills and have fun with my work... so expect this site to get alot more updates over the coming months. I also recently visited the Design Museum in London and I would definately recommend anyone to go along to see the Jonathan Barnbrook exhibition.
So whilst i don't have any major work to update the site with, i had this idea at work inspired by seeing this t-shirt design. The idea is to play on how a words meaning can change by a suffix (or prefix) and representing this graphic(ally).
