On the cover of this book you can read the word PAIN. When looking at the spine, you see the Spanish flag, immediately recognizing that this is going to be about sPAIN. When initially browsing the book the reader is faced only with blank pages. Once you see that it has been french folded you need to inflict some PAIN on the book to get at the content. On slicing open the Spanish flag you then find the work of photographer Toni Amengual highlighting the Spanish crisis. Bravo for Atlas!!!
Briefed to create a piece of signage that was also an art piece in itself to direct the public to a new gallery space in UAL’s HQ building in Holborn London.

VSMC (Visser & Smith Marine Contracting) is the European market leader in offshore power cable installation, creating grid-to-grid connections for offshore wind farms and other facilities. Bold, strong, sophisticated typography with a distinctive ‘M’ dipping beneath the baseline cleverly hints at what the company does.
Witty ideas, clever solutions, playing with negative space is hard to do. Even harder is convincing clients to go in this direction. 50% of being a designer is being able to solve problems creatively for clients. The other 50% is being able to sell that solution. Turner Duckworth not only managed to create such a clever, distinctive identity for Coca Cola but they managed to sell in through a huge corporation. To me that’s what makes this project extra special.
Everyone needs tea towels. These are particularly nice. Designed by Peter Saville for House of Voltaire, each design is derived from food packaging print and construction marks. Clever and effective idea, Peter has been collecting these marks since the mid 1980’s.
A logotype for a food range with kid goat as it’s main ingredient. The solution for the identity is just type as image – pure pure graphic design at it’s simplest and most effective. So reductive yet so charming and characterful.
