My time at Robsondowry has come to an end after an excellent 2 month stint.

A big thank you to everyone involved, I will genuinely miss you all,

Thanks for all the wine!

Hmm I wonder where they got the wonderfully original idea for this poster?

There’s simple homage then there’s blatantly ripping off Dave Gibbons, and I feel this rather shameless poster falls into the later.

That said the film actually looks kinda good, if you like that sort of thing of course.

Kick ass trailer

Submitted my solution to the HMV brief for the YCN Student awards 2010 today, here’s a little teaser of the 1st of 7 boards before the deadline on the 26th.

Spend over £100 on clothes and get a freelance contract absolutely free! Well thats what happened while shopping last weekend when I met a rather chatty young woman who served me in New Look (yes they do guy clothes now)!

Heres what I did for her, now I know what your (probably) thinking, surely 100% black on 100% cyan is not going to be highly visible from a distance rather defeating the point of a poster right?

Well the client gets what the client wants, I suggested a bit of neon day glow action myself but maybe it’ll be alright, won’t really know until I get a proof, can’t complain though it’s all for charity!

If you happen to be in Bath April the 29th why not come along?

The final client approved version of the take it back tour poster, hopefully you’ll agree the new layout is much clearer than the inital version.

I’ve actually only just listened to their new single ‘Take it back’ and these guys are genuinely good, I know I’m kind of biased because I know Dave (the guitarist) but objectively I think the new single is technically really solid.

Give them a listen you never know they might just surprise you!

Some people would celebrate by jumping up and down, I however designed an irregular sized poster (Rage couldn’t possibly be contained by German standardization, don’t be silly)!
