Green Books

When I was at uni, I really wanted to become a book cover designer.
I did a project where I put little tips I'd picked up while researching the industry on posters.

 

 

Bunting Birthday.

I had some fun this afternoon decorating the dining room for my sisters birthday.

Baby sitters Club-arama

This movie was on tv the other day, it was released in 1995, and just looking at the clothes made me fully realise what a huge 90's revival fashion is going through at the moment as nearly all the clothes wouldn't be out of place at the local hipster hangouts.

This was my favourite screen grab, very very cute ^

 I really dig the pink pants in this shot, it reminds me of the 2010 Miu Miu print ^

Plaid-a-palooza ^

So in conclusion, I'm definitely going to try and make those pink daisy pants, and those round tortoise shell glasses pushed me to the very edge of becoming one of those people that don't actually need glasses but wear non-prescription ones as fashion accessories. Who'da thunk that watching the babysitters club movie on a Wednesday night would prove inspiring.

La Briche Photos.

 

Can't wait to get back there.

Brichey.

While I was in France I did some logo development for the recording studio that Sam is planning to open. Just thought I'd show you guys the development stages of it, it's still not completely finished yet. The recording studio is on the farm which is surrounded by a forest and so the idea of nature needed to come through the design. Another point to remember was that the buildings on the farm date back quite a fair way, so there's a real traditional French feel to the place. Sam wanted to combine old and new, and also not have the logo only represent the recording studio but have it be versatile so it could represent any other venture that he plans to embark upon.

Can't decide whether it'd be the bad kind or the good kind of twee, if on the website the branches represented the current season, perhaps a few green leaves in summer, a flower or two in spring, barren like it is now in winter and maybe some dead leaves on the baseline for autumn, it's a thinker...

Clean Hands. Dirty Hands.

When I was in France I really truly missed the Australian landscape and kept day dreaming about Sam and I going on a long caravan trip across the outback. So eventually I started drawing this red dusty picture. I don't think it's a particularly outstanding picture but drawing it was so much fun, I think I'd prefer the picture without the 'lone bushranger' in it, but still this drawing reminds me that I was looking forward to coming home and that I should make the most of it whilst I'm here.

A Word in Your Eye.

A book cover I designed. It's an anthology of experimental short stories, so I took the idea of a collection of out of the ordinary things that are all different but belong to the same group and created a school of crazy fish. I also created my own typeface for this project.
