edit magazine logo

OK so after deciding my new magazine is going to be called edit, I have developed ideas and come up with this logo. The concept is relating web to print, as this magazine will be doing. Therefore the bitmap font has been used, and don't worry....it's not going to be bitmap fonts throughout the magazine! The square has been created from the grid system I am using in the magazine and the extended line throughout the edit logotype will continue through the back page of the magazine. This line represents a minus sign to link in with the edit theme - edit magazine will be a magazine where creatives submit work and the work submitted will be edited down to make a magazine.

Visual Arts Course

Myself and fellow student Tom Myers are to create a hybrid catalogue for the Visual Arts course at Salford University. A brief at Uni undertaken by graphic design third years was to create a catalogue for the Visual Arts end of year show. My pitch was successful aswell with Toms, so now we are creating a hybrid catalogue.

Tom's front cover imagery will be used in my catalogue format and layout along with the website designs I created. As I will work on the catalogue and web design, Tom will be producing an invitation to the show, and promotional posters.

Visual Practice Initial Test Video

It's not finished yet but my visual practice video is getting there, and with about 4 weeks to go I am well on track. My main deliverable will be a book but I am also producing a video, and website flats. Like I say its not finished so any feedback would be appreciated and taken into consideration while I am still editing.

Visual Practice

A open brief at university to visually represent "relationship". I decided to create a fun brief around the relationship between human form and typographic form. The typgraphic grid would be represented by the contiboard box in which the models would form the alphabet in. I will be making a photographic book, video and website flats.

Final Major Project

For my final major project at University I am going to create a magazine that will hopefully get printed, and have a website. The magazine will feature existing students graduates and professional in the design industry. This magazine will give students exposure while also showcasing current talent from all over England and maybe abroad. I am in very early stages of this project but I already have some super talented people involved.......to be continued.

Horizon-Media

I created his new website for Horizon-Media which needed to be different. The two page website tells the user everything they need to know. The streaming video adds to the viewers experience. www.horizon-media.org

Hacienda / Sankeys

Working alongside Subvert Magazine, myself and 2 friends collected footage of the Hacienda celebration night at Sankeys, Manchester. The special event included top DJ's including Peter Hook who also brought Rowetta with him to perform a couple of songs. The long night was full of passion and energy.

Peter Hook Interview

Throughout December and January myself and 2 friends have been working closely with Subvert Magazine on producing a small film/documentary about the history of the Hacienda, Peter Hook and what he is up to nowadays.


Here are some of the pics frm the Peter Hook Interview. I was pretty nervous at first but he was down to earth and really laid back which helped alot. Overall it was a great experience, especially to meet such a legend as Peter Hook.

Anders Brogaard

I recently came across the fashion photographer Anders Brogaard and was amazed by some of his images. In categories Fashion, Beauty and Editorial he creates images with impact. Anders has studios in Denmark and recently London, and has recently been advertised in Le Book.

I have been commisioned by Anders to create his new online portfolio that will be updated frequently to keep the site fresh. I am currently working on concepts and ideas....so I will keep you posted on developments.

Code School

If you want to work for a digital design agency outside of the London, Code Computerlove is definitey the place to be! They win awards left right and centre for creating digital answers. Code Computerlove is full of design geeks, which is a good thing as I class myself as one. (A design geek is somebody who has immense passion for design and gives 100% commitment).

Over the last few years, Code has won a total of 39 industry awards. So far in 2008, Code has been voted North West Digital Agency of the Year - The Drum and Eighth in Revolution Magazine's Top 10 Ranking UK Digital Agencies, as voted for by clients (joint first for ROI). Code's client list includes HMV, Waterstone's, Kimberly Clark Corporation, PZ Cussons, Crown, Lex, Epson, First Transpennine Express, Premier Foods, NUS and Hillary's.

Anyway....to the point. Code School is a program in it's first year to find the best young talent around. After various interviews I got selected with three other students to gain experience from the Code School, which ultimately helps our development as designers. Other various benefits come from Code School, such as individual mentors, studio experience, trips to design lectures. I am very privileged to be be part of this and very proud of myself for getting this far.
