StudioPod visual identity

An exciting brief for the first project of my BTech course. Our class was approached by the client, who designs modular housing units that have been made from reclaimed shipping containers.

The client was looking for a new target audience and visual direction, so I came up with this concept.

Due to their interesting design, clever use of materials, modern finishes and clean simple spaces, these modular units would make great work-spaces. Combine this with the fact that the Modupod can be built practically anywhere and leaves hardly any impact or scarring on the land, and you have the perfect solution for an outdoor office, studio or exhibition space.

A modular unit (or cluster of units) will be set up within the forest and marketed as “creative space for rent". Rentals will only be on a short-term basis, allowing more individuals to experience this unique concept. This would be perfect for people who are in-between leases and are looking for a new but temporary location, or those who simply need a fresh perspective and a break from the city.

a little surprise

Such a nice surprise this morning, I randomly clicked on one of the sites from my "daily reads" list (you know, those sites that you check every now and then for eye-candy and inspiration) and as the page started to load, I saw my Charles Dickens illustration in and amongst all the other awesome bits and pieces of collected inspiration on The Thought Studio.  I'm trying to be all nonchalant about this, but I guess this is kind of my first taste of "internet recognition", and inside I'm jumping on all the furniture!

So thank you kind person who runs The Thought Studio, seeing your work on a blog that you look to for inspiration and work to admire is such a nice feeling.

Behance network

I've finally joined the Behance Network and created my portfolio! This is something I've wanted to do for ages, but basically lacked courage to put my work online, in a place full of brilliant creatives. But I guess since starting this blog I've managed to gather up some confidence and since I'm basically a qualified Graphic Designer now, it seems like a good move.

Please feel free to take a look and leave some comments, here is my link:

goodbye third year!

Can't believe it's this time of year already - today we handed in our last projects and portfolios and in just under two weeks time it's our graduate exhibition. Crazy stuff. Here are some silly pictures of me looking silly, holding up the last thing that I need to hand in today, my application for next year, a BTech degree in Graphic Design...

progress/procrastination

Type stencils for the posters - it's taken about 2 hours to make these, but from the start of this project I have been determined to spend as little time in front of a screen and at the print shop as possible, so it's all going to be worth it.  Next step... handmade cd covers.

a happy afternoon

Say hello to my newly-stamped business cards!

Very happy with them.

occupational hazards

Screw you, Scotchtape, with your stupid tartan clothing and your little serrated teeth.
