Eye didn't see it, Eye sore it

You can't quite grasp how a nation who are in love with futura can get somethings so wrong. I mean design is subject that is fine with me, I never claimed to be an all round tasteful guy you sometimes you know you have got something wrong. see the below examples to truly understand the issue at hand.

Please be aware the following sequence of images may cause discomfort to those people used to browsing behance and (in the main) Pinterest.

a : "I did a graffiti" b:"whats one of them?"
a : "I don't know, but I did one"

Hobo and not for the first time.

don't hold yer bottle up to the window children, it's not thirsty.

who needs a logo that remains the same? lets paint each individual
one uniquely.

here we see a nice poster for a film/play/thing that references my
favourite pop artist next to a font that uses Hobo, a naff colour
scheme and warped text.

legibility, we don't need that.

Hobo and Disney font for a cafe based on elephants. Genius

who needs a Calvin Harris THAT big?

if you say it in Geordie accent it sounds amazing.
but it's accurately hawaii in Italian

Leading and tracking issues, with the stacked English & Italian lines.

Last but not least good Jazz while you eat but bad design too

It's Trippy

Looking through my laptop I discovered a photo of me that was taken for a film poster last year as part of my friends university project. I was very reminiscent of the pose struck by an actor on a Paula Scher Poster. So decided to add colours and make an interesting composition much like the poster that I've referenced. Not using type but using more of me. This is the only piece that uses so many multiple images of me that I can think of in recent times.

Beauty comes in my shapes and sizes

That's my feet

That's my feet again

The 1960's were a time of innovation. in art, in fashion and in music. and to stumble upon an artifact of this time was a happy accident. Motif was an art magazine for the 1960's to preview art from that period. I chose Motif 10 over the others because Sir Peter Blake designed it. This man designed Sgt Pepper so this man is a legend. Below are a few spreads from the book that I found most appealing.
 It cost me £5 and it was worth every penny in my opinion. 

Opposites Will Happen

 Opposites have always played a big part of design. and in the way of the world it is said that opposites attract. One of my favourite words is associated with opposites; Juxtaposition.

"the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect."

I have applied this here in these posters to promote being proud of who you are. Placing the positive element on what is considered to be a negative aspect as well as reinforcing this by placing a bland colour onto what would be considered the prefered characteristic. 

We don't have to follow what is considered to be a good thing. we can be whoever we want to be. This message is all shown in my favourite new font "Ostrich sans".

A Club Like No Other

An explosion of fun would be had at this club. That's why I wrote and recorded a song about it, then designed the sleeve for it as if it was a single. I've chose the pop art feel because the lyrics of the song references a few points in pop culture. Inspired by the Hacienda club in Manchester, its all about having a good time and that is what I have tried to achieve visually.
