It's been a long two weeks of ups and downs in regards to the D&AD awards... Realising I picked (and really wasn't enjoying) the wrong brief, and yet still having to continue with it has been hard. There is still much to do and I really have left it down to the last second, so needless to... Continue Reading →
Graphic Design / Photography Podcast!
Well guys, here is the first "Visually Interesting" Graphic Design & Photography podcast. It has been 1 month in the making, using programs I haven't used before. It has all been good practice.

I struggled with the concept of simplicity, it is amazing how much harder it is to simplify an idea, rather than... Continue Reading →
Barnardos Icon…No.2 Complete!
Well... after much worrying about getting at least one more icon finished and sent off to the Barnardos/Cardiff Half Marathon competition, I managed to get my act together and complete the design of number 2 (number 2 also being the final one I am going to send to them). Lately I have got very involved in personal ventures... Continue Reading →
Africa Type Experiment!
This is the latest type experiment that I have played with. It is yet unfinished and this is just the initial stage of the design. I would like to create a whole typeface in this style. I have tried to evoke Africa through the use of sharp triangles, the reason for this is i feel... Continue Reading →
