Komonazmuk’s Record Sleeve Artwork Ambigram

For those that don’t know (or havn’t seen/read ‘The Da Vinchi Code’) an ‘ambigram’ is a typographic design that reads the same when turned upside down. I’ve been trying to get my head around designing one of these for years, so when Komonazmuk asked me to to design the artwork for his self title album – i thought this was the perfect opportunity. Can’t wait to get the record sleeve back from the printers!

I recently finished working alongside Kazoo Creative for Channel 4′s Food Hospital

Each week the programme ran surveys across the UK to test nutritional values in foods. Part of the job involved taking these results and presenting them in the form of animated infographics ready for broadcast.

My work included in colour theory textbook

I am excited to announce that, for the first time in my career, my work has been published in a book. A small motion graphics piece i made a few years ago was included in a textbook for art students by Professor Steven Bleicher in a book about colour theory entitled ‘Contemporary Color – Theory and Use’

The blurb reads:

Contemporary Color is back with a beautifully produced and lavishly illustrated second edition! Combining a solid grounding in traditional color theory and a thorough exploration of effective color use in digital applications and 3D design work, this introduction to contemporary color text is a must have for all art students. Written by a leading design educator and artist whose work is widely exhibited, this text features a balanced examination of essential theory and its practical application using today’s cutting-edge technology. “Contemporary Color, second edition” covers a wide range of topics including all the basics on color theory, while also examining the latest on digital color, 3D design, and variations in color across nations and cultures. To complement this inclusive content, the text features thought-provoking discussions of the psychological impact of color, the future of color, creativity, and best practices for students and working artists. A vast collection of vivid images, drawn from both classical and contemporary artists, rounds out the text with powerful examples to illustrate applied color theory in all of its dazzling diversity

The book is available to buy from amazon. Here is the ident for those that havn’t seen it:
