RCA Animation 2008
Catalogue design for the Royal College of Art Animation MA Degree Show, based around the concept of thaumatropes. Designed with Lottie Crumbleholme.
Rainy Day Posters
Process-based posters designed to cheer up passers by. The more it rains, the clearer their message becomes. Clear screenprint onto steel.
En - Em - Dash
The correct usage of en dashes, em dashes and dashes seems to be a constant source of debate, so we decided to give them a new meaning. This was demonstrated using a piece of beat literature text; a running stream of consciousness with little or no punctuation. Designed with Alistair Webb.
Presentation Formal
Poster design for a James Goggin talk at the Royal College of Art. Proposing to discuss his work without actually showing any of it, these screenprinted posters appeared blank from one angle, but when viewed from another their content became legible. They were also printed in four colourways and always displayed in a specific configuration that referenced an ongoing project of James'. Designed with Maria Joudina.

www.themetapress.org
The Metapress is a small scale online publishing press. Exploring the space between the digital and the analogue, it was founded as a response to the growing amount of books being digitised and read online. It aims to embrace the internet as a global information-sharing network, but also tries to offer a way of haptically reconnecting with the printed word.
