Fluff

A retro inspired design using the name 'fluff'. I created a custom font and logo and used a vintage colour palette to suit the design. All elements created in Illustrator CS.

Happy

Just a simple graphic to promote smiling and positivity. Sometimes we forget to smile, but it makes a big difference, and its catching!
Graphics created in Illustrator and Photoshop. Font is Helvetica Black Condensed with some manual adjustment.

Paws for Thought

This paper cut design is a play on words - 'paws' for thought instead of 'pause' for thought.
I decided to use a simple brown and beige colourway to emphasise the animal theme. All elements hand cut from coloured card.

Through the window

A multi-layered paper cut design using patterned and textured papers. It's difficult to see the depth of the finished piece when photographed front-on, so a close up shot is included to show the 3D effect.

Cereal Killer

This is my take on the phrase 'cereal killer' which is obviously a world play on 'serial killer'. I decided to create a full size 3D paper cut model. All elements hand cut from coloured and metallic card and assembled with glue and adhesive tape. I also used scoring and folding to create depth on the knife.

Triangles

A new repeat graphic created using Illustrator CS. The entire design is made from single triangles that intersect to create new shapes. I chose the blue and violet colour scheme as it seemed to work when combined with the white.

Circles

The circle is another one of my favourite shapes. Maybe its because they have no defined edge and are therefore softer on the eye than shapes with definite edges or angles. This design is based on single and half circles put into a repeat pattern. Created in Illustrator CS with a retro inspired colour palette.

Hexagons

The hexagon is one of my favourite shapes. By overlapping and intersecting them you can create some interesting graphic patterns. I used a retro inspired colour palette to create this design in Illustrator CS.

Taxi

A new logo and brand identity for a local Taxi Firm 'Micks Taxis'.
The brief was to create a bright, vibrant look that would stand out from typical taxi logos in the area.
Logo and graphics created in Illustrator CS using the Rockwell font.

Ampersand

I created this 3D ampersand in Illustrator CS. The colour palette is retro inspired and the font is a modified version of Geometric Slabserif. I made extensive use of the pattern tools to create the interlocking colours.

Colour Pallet

A paper cut design based on the word-play between the words 'palette' a collection of colour and 'pallet' a wooden crate. All elements hand cut from coloured paper.

Core

A brand design that includes a new logo, alternative logo and brochure cover design. I have used a minimal colour palette and graphic to represent the 'core' brand name.

SOS

A 3D paper cut design that is based on the word play between the words 'soul' and 'sole'. The 'sole' being the shoe and the 'soul' represented by the angel wings. All elements hand cut and scored from 160gsm Colourplan from GF Smith.

Cone

This 3D paper cut design is a combination of an ice cream in a traffic cone - which I thought might look interesting together (obviously not to scale!) All elements hand cut from coloured paper and textured added to the flake with an embossing tool.
