Logo design for - Sporting Challenge, massage therapy

*Design still in progress*

Website up and cards ready to print.

Another album cover design in progress...

Screenshots of the stages of the design process - The client wanted a hand drawn,
cartoonistic style, similar to that of winnie the pooh, but have colours and form
to represent the hard rock style of music. Apples rise back up into the tree as an onlooker stands in awe.
The ideas were all of the clients imagination, it was just my job to visualise these.

Tax Dep. inspired by the chalk mines below. Tin veins in the chalk
resemble concrete incredibly well, the light fittings elude at this
vein too. The booths follow the shape of the cliffs
(also kiln formed glass is used to create the
illusion of water). Even the shelving resembles a seam.

RISK - bar/restaurant logo design

Whilst designing my portfolio, I enjoy 'branding' each page,

this new logo for the scheme gives me a raw style and colour/

texture to follow through into the layout.

D&AD entry - spacial design for Holiday inn

 Part of the animated design proposal for a redesign of the holiday inn 

check-in experience. The problem of working on an artificial screen before bed + 

the problem of jet lag could be solved with a 'natural light bar' emitting a dose

of natural light to help reset the body clock and keep people from using laptops

in bed (which aids in solving the problem of erratic Melatonin levels).

Sketchup import to 3dsMAX

 Added walls to help define the angle needed to match up with

the photo of a holiday inn lobby.

Final render with a little photoshop magic and hand drawing to

give an idea of the 'Light Bar' in-situ.

CONCEPT - PwC (Price waterhouse cooper) office design (BDP brief)

 Initial design concepts for Pwc's office space in Norwich

They desire a 'regional concept' with an idea that can be manipulated

and rolled out too various other office spaces, basically a flagship office.

An aspect of helping the community should also be considered.

The regional concept progresses from the chalk and tin mines upon

which Norwich was then built. The mines remain unmapped as the city was

not foreseen and thus the area is prone to sink holes. A famous image can be

seen of a bus sinking into one of these holes, this was used in Cadbury's advertisement 

"nothing fills a hole like a double decker"

The tin and chalk forms fantastic fluid shapes and seams that can be used to

design aspects such as walls, layout and furniture (seen below) ideas for implementing the 

kilns with rotating table arms (based on the plans/sections of the mining style can be seen ABOVE.

In terms of designing for the community I looked into previous pursuits of the company,

they have done work getting the homeless trained up in cooking and then back into 

work through their experience in the financial field. 

One of the favoured aspects from the previous office space was the kitchen which was seen as a social 'hub' for the staff. The concept of smell and taste triggered an idea; have deaf people manning the

kitchen. The office will be based around this idea of senses (sound, touch, smell, taste, sight) 

smell and taste will be covered with the kitchen itself... the others need to be linked with the mining concept somehow.

Touchpoints of different textured rock from the local area (chalk, tin, pebbles from the beach) will be

embedded in the tables, walls and seating areas.

SOUND - it would be fantastic for the deaf to be able to understand sound interaction in the space visually, thus the idea of acoustic pyramids ABOVE. There will be simple hydraulics controlling the hight of these canopies, changing the acoustics of an area based on how loud it is. This helps the deaf understand the sound whilst improving the ambience for office staff too!

Experimenting with the idea of light and dark spaces, this follows the cave concept directly. Miners had difficulty adjusting to light contrast when exiting a cave. Dark was associated with work and light with freedom and leisure - this concept will be inverted by having the lobby area low and dark and office workspaces light. This gives people the sensation and association that work is linked with light and thus work with leisure.

Etive Mor - Scotland

An experiment of mixing watercolours and chalk for 

the first time, the waxy coat from the watercolours

meant that any chalk could only be drawn in the gaps

between allowing for some interesting textures to

be produced. I started this piece whilst in scotland but 

only now had the time to finish it off working from a

photograph.

Finishing an old sketch I recently found.

Decided to make the most of the weather and 

head to castle hill to finish an old sketch

of Linhope Spout plungepool , Northumberland

...until it got cold. A nice backdrop to 

draw to nevertheless. (The lighting looks
unnatural because the flash was turned on.)
