From 2012, I became fed up with seeing Stephen Fry everywhere so I made this video. The feeling has passed but the video remains.

Two designs for Free Running Films, a film production company.

Each design took quite different directions:

The "Grunge" logo a more young, contemporary look, using a suited businessman in an action pose to connect with the free spirit of the company, and draw parallels with free running/parkour.

The "Noir" logo takes a more nostalgic approach, using an old fashioned projector and font to suggest films which are created the way they like, rather than following what might be trendy.

"Wapkin" design competition entry for Rock Werchter 2012 music festival. The aim was to design an official festival napkin to be used during the 4 day event. 

The concept was to create a tongue in cheek festival guide, something you could look over quickly whilst eating and talk over with your friends. The style was largely inspired by XKCD.

Renders of a swamp town, based in part on concept art for Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. The biggest challenge was varying the colour palette because everything was largely made of wood.

Logo and business card designs for BIG & Blu Graphic Design Solutions, a small 2 man company aimed at producing graphical content for the web for businesses.

The concept was a whimsical, yet strong representation of the company. The yeti is not too cartoon-like, and the font, whilst light still has a sharpness to it.

The three rounded edges on the business card help frame the logo in the top left, and add a spin on the classic card shape.
