MISPLACED Short brief to illustrate a word and its meaning through typography.

FOREFRONT EDITORIAL MAGAZINE To create the layout for the Forefront magazine for the designer Rudy VanderLans.

TISSUE BOX PACKAGING To sell a generic tissue box for a higher price through re-packaging.

The boxes are shaped like one tonne weights to represent the strength of the tissues.

HAPPY HUNTING The brief was to brand a metal detecting club.

Metal detecting is often seen as an “old man’s hobby” but in truth, many others enjoy detecting as well so the brand tries to get a feel for it through discovering metals inside the identity to encourage people to take up the hobby.

When the stationary is opened up, finds are discovered in the ground.

In each business card the objects are unique to each individual.

As the letter is pulled from the envelope, a find is discovered through the window.

Happy Hunting Website The detector along the top of the page moves with the mouse and the navigation only appears when it is hovered over the words.

THE WALLPAPER MAGAZINE The brief was to hand make the front cover of the Wallpaper magazine.

I used blotting paper and captured a timelapse over a period of 10 hours of the paper absorbing the ink.
