Hi Everyone! I have decided that I would like to revisit my degree project right from the start and expand/improve upon everything I had previously done for it. The first thing I decided to do was to take another critical look at the icons I had produced. Since looking at the icons again I'm not sure why... Continue Reading →
Airport Icons, Development Phase.
For my Final Major Project in BA Hons graphic design I decided to take on the challenge of developing a new wayfinding system for international airports, and possibly more specifically London's Heathrow. This will include signage layout design, Icon development, Typeface development / exploration and a small promotional campaign. I thought I would share some... Continue Reading →
What do I Actually do at Work?
Some of you reading this post may know, that for the past 3 years I have been working at a local sign designers. We cater mainly for small businesses, although we also deal with the occasional larger contract from London Underground or London City Airport. I figured it was about time that I uploaded a...

Visual Proposal Presentation
I have successfully handed in and finished my Development of Ideas & Concepts module. This consisted of researching into my chosen project, which you all know by now to be wayfinding within airports, more specifically BAA Heathrow. I was very happy with the way this whole first module turned out, there was a lot more... Continue Reading →

Managed to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 14
Wow! I have never had such a bad day in terms of being nervous and panicking. I can't explain it, not even my driving test was as bad as this and that was the worst up till today. It's all because of this presentation I have to do on the 27th October. At the beginning of the day... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 13
Today was, very much, another type orientated day. A little bit of sketch book work, followed up by some illustrator to smooth off those curves and realise the sketches in digital form. I've noticed a large improvement in my ability to do quick sketches of letter forms (primarily the letter "a") just to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 12
In my presentation I'm going for a quite minimal look, I'd like to put up the basic bullet points and main points, I can then expand upon them through talking. I feel this is the strongest way of getting my project across, as purely written text will be quite dull to read and may not... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 11
Hey guys, it's been quite a good weekend looking into what I can do for the presentation, and today was equally productive in regards to a more theory side of the practical project. I've decided that I'm going to be doing a live power point, with me discussing each section, as my presentation method. I feel quite strong... Continue Reading →
