An overdue update...
Just a quick one to say that I'm no longer lecturing and back full time in an awesome little design agency! I will still respond to messages and requests for advice so I'll keep this running from a different perspective!

And here it is in the proper contrast haha!
Digitally created visual using mixed media to show how you can build elements in Photoshop to give a realistic game concept including a HUD system developed in illustrator
Just a little ‘in-progress’ of how I’ve arrived at the current stage. Also included is a quick redeco of ironman into the iron patriot.
The base work is drawn in illustrator, just creating simple shapes that form the figure roughly the right flat colour, then taken into Photoshop section by section. I chose to do it section by section as it allows the file size to be efficient to handle, but even now it is about 900mb and built in over 250 layers.
The textures have been brought in via cgtextures.com and using different transparency and blending layers give a more realistic feel to the illustration.
This is the first big photoshop illustration I’ve ever done, which surprises me, but I’ve found that even though a drawing tablet can be useful, I just can’t master them! So I would say 95% of this is done with a mouse or trackpad, which I do not recommend!
It would be great to get some feedback, and once it’s finished I’m going to look at making some stuff available with this on :)
I might even do some more redecos of other ironman variants when it’s all finished up
Teaching my students to screen print!
Brilliant packaging I found in Pull and Bear in Barcelona
Design Briefs - Have a go!
From the questions in my inbox, it would seem that design briefs would be good for people to have a go at - so I thought I would put some on here for you!

These are available on Issuu to download as well - if you do attempt any of these please let me know so I can see your concepts!!
What would people like from this blog?
Answers to questions? Design briefs you can have a go at? Advice? Pictures of pugs? Would be great to hear some feedback guys :)
All stuff in my Society6 is free shipping worldwide until Sunday - Christmas coming (and the 50th Doctor Who Anniversary!) now is the best time to take advantage!

Did Lino printing with my hnd students today to help them get a different perspective when designing their logos - fun and rewarding session!
My students at level 3 doing better work than I've seen in some end of year uni shows..
So this happened today...
Brilliantly honest logo
Hand drawn type that I’m working on for a project.
Brilliant typography from one of my students on my HND, always nice to see hand drawn type turn out so well
An example of a physical google maps product that I did today to help inspire one of my students past their creative block
A new set of designs to purchase in many different forms at society6 - prints, phone cases, tees, tote bags and cushions
My pin-up princesses!

Playhouse font - version 1
It's the first typeface i've created in ages, so it isn't perfect, and there will be revisions to tighten it up!
At the moment it is just lowercase but feel free to download it and play about with it and it would be great to hear any feedback you may have!
