JACOB GILLBREATH - CONAN O'BRIEN KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY

I really like this style of videography, a camera moving over a page or composition of text in such a way, it's really great. This may not be the best example but It still looks really creative, the use of minimal colour and the subject is just a all round excellent package in my opinion.

I LOVE REMOTE DESKTOP

JORDAN WALKER - STUDENT CREW LOGO EVOLUTION

This is the many stages I went through with one of my worst clients to make a logo for "NHC Student Crew" It was tough but I'm glad I went though all of that because the final result was well worth it.

JORDAN WALKER - KLAYPEX CAFEPRESS BRANDING

Oh yeah... ooops

I did this last week for up and coming dubstep duo Klaypex. This was basically a perfect opportunity to try out HTML and CSS.

Basically, designed the header and buttons and made everything functional.

I got into contact with Klaypex about 3 months ago after seeing this video:





Visual effects were done by Sam and Nico of CorridorDigital who have a massive subscriber base anyway and got this video a million views in no time. All music was done by Klaypex and was even said at the end of the video with a link to their personal webpage with all their current LP's music uploaded for free. not only that but they were advertising their free LP on their website as well which I downloaded straight away. I liked the music but saw that their marketing side was laking so I simply inboxed them asking if I could help. I thought that the message would be lost under the sea of "BRO SICK MUSIC BRO" messages so you can imagine how surprised I was when it said this:





Been talking to them for a while, got to speak to them both on skype. Really nice guys. A lot more work up in the mix so i'll keep you poster.

All this and i'm still working on London 2012 as well.

JASON LITTE - ONE DEGREE

I blogged about Jason Little almost a year ago now (Link here). I saw this piece of work a while back and thought it was very understated, alsmost too understated to post up here as inspiring but I came across it today and just thought the way he's presented his brand guidelines for his branding of the company One Degree was quaint. This idea of a plain CD being incorporated into a design on print has been stuck in my head since I first saw this a year and a half ago. It'll definitely be put to use by me at some point.

TRAVIS BROWN - LOGOFOLIO

Really nice logo design by Travis Brown. Often simplistic, vector images but can incorporate nice textures as seen at the top.

JORDAN WALKER - LGBT TYPE POSTER

Custom font made up for an LGBT poster.

How to make a rainbow look cool and not cliché

PTARMAK - URSA MAJOR BRANDING

Austin based designer Ptarmak brand Vermont based mens skincare company Ursa Major. Really simple design that encapsulates the history behind Ursa Minor, a constellation.

"In Greek mythology, Zeus (the king of the gods) lusts after a young woman named Callisto, a nymph of Artemis. Hera, Zeus' jealous wife, transforms the beautiful Callisto into a bear. Callisto, while in bear form, later encounters her son Arcas. Arcas almost shoots the bear, but to avert the tragedy, Zeus hurls them both into the sky, forming Ursa Major."

Not your everyday soap story.

The book that they can sent out is traditionally bound which is rare these days but a really nice touch. The design holds the angles from the logo throughout the pages too. It's always nice to see thought behind typography.

JORDAN WALKER - BRIDGING THE GAP

I've been wanting to show this for some time but wasn't allowed because it wasn't released/built/finished.
This is a website that I designed for a sub sector of the London 2012 Olympic Games called "Bridging the Gap."

It's main focus is to boost employment for security staff at the games next year and I was put in charge of art direction for it. I've loosely based my design on the existing geometric London 2012 design but given it a stronger linear design to reflect on a strong controlled propriety of a security force.

The most annoying part about this project was that the branding for the website was done already. I had no say on the design of the logo which really bugged me. I hated the logo. Still do to be honest. Secondly, when you visit the site it, it has this horrible header on the top of every page, again something I wasn't allowed to change which was equally frustrating, so I just scrolled down for the screenshots because i'm smart like that.

Visit the site here.

JORDAN WALKER - STEVENAGE EDUCATIONAL TRUST BRANDING AND VISUAL IDENTITY GUIDELINES

Branding for Stevenage Educational Trust. The whole swoosh thing was a joke, it's so cliché... it's so cliché they used it.

I personally think the branding guidelines look better than anything else to do with the logo. You can download that here.
