People Power

These graphics were created to promote "Power to the People" part of a campaign to remind consumers that they have the power when it comes to buying things. I did two final options that will be used on various print and multimedia items. Graphics created in Illustrator.

Inky Pinky Ponky

This graphic is based on a nursery rhyme that was popular when I was a kid. I have no idea where it originated but the words always make me smile. It had been a plan of mine to turn the words into a graphic for some time - so here it is. All graphics drawn in Illustrator using Edwardian Script and Copperplate fonts.

Minimal Patterns

I have always been a big fan of simple patterns and minimal graphics and have found the freestyle pen in Adobe Ideas very useful. You can create hand drawn graphics with a stylus really quickly, then simply email the graphic to your Mac or PC as a PDF, and edit it with Illustrator. I created all the shapes this way with Adobe ideas, and then assembled and coloured them up with Illustrator.

AB CD Goldfish

I have known this little poem for many years, but have only just discovered where it originated. From my research it appears it was written by Maud & Miska Petersham and appeared in a book called the 'Rooster Crows' about 1945. I created all the graphics using Adobe Ideas, including the hand drawn text, and assembled the vectors in Adobe Illustrator.

Screw You?

Thought this would be an interesting name for a new DIY store! I don't think anyone would be daring enough to use it. But then again French Connection used the FCUK slogan in the UK so who knows. The logo is just an initial idea sketched using Adobe Ideas.

Going all Zen

I sketched this little drawing using Adobe Ideas on the iPhone. Initially I decided to add some tone and shading but thought the simple lines made a nice linear shape?
