We Arew The In Crowd T-shirt competition

The UK merchandise store Pulp has teamed up with We Are The In Crowd to run a competition to design a t-shirt for the band to print and be available over the UK in a chain of Pulp stores. Pulp select 5 designs for the final, and the other designs go up for voting on their facebook page to make the last 5 finalists from the highest voted designs. The band will then choose the winning design later this month.
The idea behind my design was to create an illustration of a totem pole built up from the band members and their instruments. The design was limited to 4 colours to be printed onto a coloured t-shirt.
I was very pleased to find out that Pulp selected my design as one of the top 5 to go through to the final! The remaining designs are up for voting and the overall winner will be selected by the band by mid August. Fingers crossed!

York Urban Typography - Editorial Project

 

 

For my final Year 2 project i needed to create a book that consists of urban typography. My idea was to locate several areas around my home town and create a book showing each area with the typography found their, with a brief description of the areas to cover the 500+ words required by the project brief in the book.
To see the full book follow the link below to my graphic design facebook page;

We Are The In Crowd - Leeds Cockpit 24/04/12

Last week i got the chance to do photography at Leeds Cockpit for one of my favorite bands We Are The In Crowd. Having been asked to do a write up about it to go with the photos i thought it would be a good opportunity to get some editorial design practice by designing a magazine type double page review of the show. Above are the photographs from the show alongside the review i wrote up and put together.
