About me
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I’ve worked as a professional graphic designer for over 20 years and still get excited by the journey from new brief to final printed product. I graduated with a BA Hons Degree from Croydon Art College and since then have worked for three design agencies specialising in design for print. As a designer I?enjoy working closely with clients to achieve the best end result. From branding and reports to magazines and training manuals design for print is my passion.
LETTERPRESS PRINTER
My love for letterpress printing began at an evening course in Brighton.
From there I quickly developed my knowledge and skills in both silkscreen and letterpress printing. My creative outlet asintended soon followed suit and ran along-side my full-time job as a graphic designer/director in a workers co-operative. After using local facilities to produce my printed work I started to collect my own letterpress equipment and set about the task of building my own letterpress studio. Bit by bit my collection grew and is still growing. With the addition of a proofing press the pipe dream became a reality!
Projects
- Type rulesType rules in my world! and what better way to say it than with a letterpress print. I worked with Adams in Rye, a fantastic letterpress printers with an amazing amount of knowledge and experience printing with metal and wood type to produce this print, and hopefuly this is only the beginning of working with them.
- Sort your sh**t outThe brief from Hastings Borough Council – a campaign to tackle the issue of dog fouling in Hastings. The concept was to keep the campaign ‘real’. People were fed up with the growing problem in their local area. The language used in the posters threw-up interesting debates but it did get everyone talking about the issue. “Yes, these posters are hard-hitting and yes they make you look twice but we want the small minority of irresponsible dog owners to be very aware that we will not tolerate this behaviour.” Councillor Phil Scott Designed for wave.coop
