Visual Identity for Architect Elias Rydman, simplicity and sophistication underpinned this project. I don't often work with one font one weight, but felt the simplicity has a place here. . It was great to also design and consider some of the packaging solutions for the project. More to come on this - will hopefully post the full project soon! . Thanks for looking

Tariffs on the world's two biggest economies leave the interconnected global markets in a crumpled mess. . Swipe for a currency animation and let me know if you understand the joke 🤔 . And yes, I accidentally spelt Tariffs wrong in the mocks 😂
Neo-Noir editorial, packaging and poster layouts
Brand animations for @president.press . Having just figured out recently how to animate textures on 3D objects in cinema 4d, it was fun putting this to use for some Visuals and Animations for President Press. . I've been running into some trouble tho, if you swipe, I've highlighted some seams in the object that aren't smooth and it's difficult to get the animation of the words to loop perfectly. Anyone got any tips for this? or if you have an opinion on the animation overall leave me a comment! . Also shoutout to @president.press for allowing me so much creative freedom with their projects, every time I check your guys Insta stories your parties look wall-to-wall packed - you guys are crushing it. . Thanks for looking!
I've always struggled with simplicity in my designs, There's always the urge to add another detail, another texture, symbol or anything until everything is a cluttered mess. Anyone else struggle with this? There's a lot of skill in knowing what to keep and throw away, then knowing what to add. . Here's a poster where I spent some time taking things away - with the US democratic candidates as placeholder copy, as they try to climb the stairs to the top. #fucktrump Swipe for the animated version . Thanks for looking!
The article this month is on the work of Wang and Söderström, one of my favourite 3D and spatial design artists. The pair have a distinct biologically inspired style and they've done amazing work for brands like Rimowa, Nike, Burberry and Selfridges. Their project "Water Matters" looked to give a visual identity for the Nobel Prize's convention, themed around the importance of the worlds water supplies and oceans. .

Zine "Caliphate" a visual exploration born out of listening to the New York Times podcast of the same name reported by journalist Rukmini Callimachi. . In the wake of the brutal Syrian civil war and afterglow of the Iraq invasion, a power vacuum was created in the region that allowed for the birth of ISIS. Rukmini's podcast looks into WHO the Islamic State are and were, a group so deplorable and violent yet enticing to around 40,000 men and women from the West who were radicalised and flew to an active warzone to join the cause. . The zine contains scans of archived documents from Syria that shows the Islamic States surprisingly meticulous documentation and layouts of ISIS's school course-work that taught young children words such as "Sniper" and "Martyr". . If you're interested in listening to the podcast the link is in my bio . Thanks for looking!
