If my Dad falls at home and no one’s there … does he make a sound?

A long time ago William Booth (Old beardy guy who Founded The Salvation Army) wrote a Book called In Darkest England and the Way Out, about the desperate situation the UK was in. Darkest England and the Way Back In, is a book that reveals that although the situation may be tough there is hope still. I did the cover design and all the interior typesetting for this piece.
The eikon charity runs many fundraising activities, most of which are on the extreme side, the 15 Peaks and Snowdon Challenge are good examples. Crazy long walks, chaffing etc.
Breakout is the debut album from Essex born Electralyte. This was a great project to be involved in, I shot the photos, designed the artwork and took part in the Krispy Kremes at the recording studio. Lovely.
Lou went all the way to LA for the photo shoot for her first solo album (without taking the designer?!), I wanted to make the most of the amazing photography and use thin and elegant typefaces.
Neue Quarterly is a ... quarterly. It was originally a magazine for church leaders under it's previous name Relevant Leader but the revamp to Neue brought the publication on to a Bookzine (Shape of a book but magazine content). I was involved heavily in the branding of Neue and consequently the templates and layouts of Neue Quarterly.
Phatfish have been making music now for over 15 years. I wanted to make the design for Faithful organic and non-photo based for a change. This was a lot of fun, I got to use handwritten/doodle elements.
Relevant Media Group has published several books under Relevant Books, I've worked on some of those Books either as the print or the marketing (see under RGB).
Working on RELEVANT Magazine since 2003, in both a freelance and full-time capacity, I've worked on editorial templates and feature articles. I also worked on the Web counterpart.
The Urban Colours Choir is made up of young people from local communities. The album is a mix of Gospel and Street music this is reflected in the Design using graffiti, stickers and torn elements. This project helped me be a little bit more street. Word.
Purashop which was at one time Fierce Shop from Fierce Distribution sells Books, DVDs, Music, Tickets and other trinkets. I built many Flash based Marketing pieces for the various campaigns and promos that were featured on the shop.
Freshroles is a Jobs site for Youth and Children's workers. I wanted to keep the design clean and fresh for this one so the jobs stood out and weren't over-powered with too much design.
NM.com is a site for Church leaders to connect and be resourced and to talk about church attendance numbers and things like that. The site is a blend of author driven and user driven content.
Neueresources is a portal for all things neue. Neue has a site packed full of content for leaders, a Bookzine and a directory that all need a home. Lo, Neueresources.com
As I have many a time, for this project I pulled on a fake blond wig and got all feminine thinking to design Radiantmag.com. The site offers very rich user driven content. It was a fun project to design and I now am hooked on Sex in the City (not really).
RELEVANT Magazine was my baby whilst employed by Relevant Media Group. I redesigned the site early on in my time there and really like that the design has remained fresh and usable since.
Whilst working at RELEVANT Media Group I handled all the online Marketing material for the Relevant Store and ads for Subscriptions and offers. These were a mix of Flash built ads & Static campaigns.
I worked on these Flash Marketing Ads under contract. Royal Mail and Warner Bros. partnered for specialty stamps. I brought the stamps to life and had them fly about the place. Creepy.
RTV was one of the first on-demand online streaming video channels. I put together the look and feel for the player and all it's components. This is a great player and offers so much to the user.
The Wedding Workshop make wedding dresses and dreams come true (yuk). I had a chance to get in touch with my feminine side creating this site. Flowers, Silk and Pink became my friends.
Avenue Services is a Audio/Visual Event and Hire company run by a friend of mine. He wanted to keep a fish in his logo from a previous design so I incorporated it into the 'a'. I also highlighted the 'av' just so people knew what was being sold.
This was a personal piece for a friend to use. He has a beard. He may be a pirate.
CCK or Church of Christ the King is in UK terms a BIG church, in US terms it's maybe somewhere between Small and Medium (Smedium). I was asked to redesign the logo to have something more stylised and simple.
The New Haw Youth Project approached me wanting a new name and logo, it was quite a mouthful (not to mention hard to spell over the phone - New What?!). They provide an outlet for distressed young people in their local community and schools and their aim is to let children visualise and picture a different life. Eikon is the greek word for Picture and also sounds cool. I worked on the branding strategy for them and subsequent documents that followed.
Fickle sadly is no longer with us, but I had fun creating this logo so you lovely people still get to see it. Fickle was an initiative to develop local community artists and designers.
Whilst employed by Relevant Media Group I took charge of redesigning the existing Relevant Network and Relevant Leader package and taking it in a new direction. I worked on the brand and it's initial implementation, including Neueresources.com, Neueministry.com and the Bookzine Neue Quarterly.
Dirt and Tire tracks were the theme of this design. Quad Safari hire out Quad bikes for personal and corporate pleasure.
This is a Personal piece. The basis for this image is Brian Banks who's a very humble, but very cool looking Gentleman. I used a photo taken by the legend that is Foster Addington Photography. [Google Him]
These Illustrations were created for Neue Quarterly as Editorial pieces. The Quarterly is in Bookzine format.
These pieces, some used, some not were made for use with articles for RELEVANT Magazine.
