books for charity.

books for charity,
on a rummage through my local PDSA i found a book on p[lants that contained this little gem.
Along with the image is a full section on how to build, grow and maintain your own bottle garden.
I think they're fantastic.

G R WALKER.

I was asked recently to design and produce packaging for singer songwriter George Walker.

I accepted.
Below are some initial mock ups.

INSIDE LAYOUT (CD)_

As far as initial designs go i like the general look.
need to play around with colour and tone. Think it needs to stay one or the other to maintain consistency.

The imagery on the front works but needs more, the imagery inside i feel would work better scaled down and again with more going on. Alot of room for more.

I love the raw card and will keep that for sure.
The circle on the cover will be applied to the outer cellafane packaging as a sticker rather than printed on the card.

Initial thoughts were to keep the design tonal and screen onto the raw card, however, having seen imagery in colour i think i prefer it. For this reason i need to research print processes and finishes.

My house mate kyle introduced me to the work VINCE FROST and FROST* design agency.

Really love their work.
Particularly relevant to me at the moment is the re-brand they worked on for SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. The rebrand and promotional material is top notch and illustrates well a contemporary angle taken. The work fuses perfectly, traditional content with a real slant on it, executed with a contemporary edge. ACE.





can't help but take influence form their work.

promotional work for events on at SOH aswell as work done for groups involved with SOH is easily as inspiring.

i won an icecream keyring and a dolphin bouncyball on the 2p machines.

an arm.. not a leg

a quirky effort at a more personalised present.
my girlfriend saw the funny side and appreciated the effort.





As a first time for using image transfer i found the experience all together painless and easy. I'd heard about the stuff being super shit and looking terrible. i was pretty chuffed with my outcome. whether it was our broken iron that gets no hotter than a radiator or just pot luck full stop?? not sure. worked though.

finish is mad shiney, only down side.

well mint stciky plastic texture thats perfect for sticking your face to while catching 40 winks??
