At Knack Magazines stand at Futurising !!

Just showed my work in a video booth at Knack Magazines stand at Futurising. A lot of fun, but it was a bit weird and I have no idea how it looks like :P but maybe maybe it will be shown in their interactive magazine later at some point. Just have to wait and see I guess :)

Cover for book

I made this small book with a cover for my friend's birthday. It says: "My favourite drinks", and is printed with letterpress in a random pattern. This is my first try on printing a pattern very random, and I'm quite happy about it. I am actually so happy that I will for sure do more of this kind of printing. The cover is printed in two of her (my friend) favourite colours, and I printed the second colour while the first was still wet with great result.

She likes it, and that makes me even happier about it :)

Follow up on the cover for BA publication

Just a small image to show how it looked with all the covers folded on the private view for the BA Graphic Design show "Treadmill" at London Met. Seeing it lying there I was happy about the result, it looks nice and the colour is so amazing!

Cover for BA publication at London Met

I did learn so so so much today, about work, others, limitations, my expectations vs others, perfection and creativity!

You will not believe me, this is printed on a press too small for it :p but somehow it ended up with resultat that is good enough! This time it was not about what I wanted and liked only, but what London Met wanted too! It was a nice day where I got to test out a few things on the press.

The cover will be folded around where "N" is in climbing. Inside will be a publication about the show and the BA course in Graphic Design.

Hope you like it, and if you want to see it drop by at London Met, commercial st on Tuesday (15th June) for the private view ;), limitied edition of only 90!

My craziest and biggest project

I said yes to do this cover for a broadsheet information paper almost for a BA exhibition (and for the course in general) at my old uni here in London. I thought the idea was to have a title and a small quote or something, but it ended up being one huge quote (not long, but huge in size)! 17 words is set in a 16 line wood type, not exactly sure how big that is in cm, but at least 10. I'm done with the first lock up in a way, but it needs to be locked up on the press, and that is a challenge. Not sure if you can see how big it is on the image, but next week after I hopefully have finished printing it I will have all the measurements for you.

James Dean, my favourite quote !!

Most people know that I'm a big fan of James Dean, and have all (three) movies he got time to make before he was in a car accident, which cost his life. I’ve always loved this particular sentence he used to say, and have wanted for so long to create something with it. After setting it up and printing it, I feel good about the fact I finally got to print it. But at the same time, I feel that maybe some day I’ll reprint it even bigger! The reason for all the extra white space on the left side is for a personal message or reminder to you or the one you give it do about focusing on living your life to the fullest every day.

I've printed the quote in two different colours. Green because it's my favourite colour, and orange because it's sort of a colour I feel has this dreaming feeling, and positive attitude that this quote represents for me.

James Dean had the future ahead; he lived by his own quote and so should we. I’ll always keep it close.
