We make it better

Had a bit of tidy up this weekend and found some old, old illustration files. I can’t remember what these were even for but I suspect they may have been from University days, or maybe just after. I really enjoyed finding these, they really made me cringe, and I’m certainly not posting them here (maybe just this one). Interesting to see how work evolves over time. I guess looking back it shows I really don’t have an obvious visual style, projects do tend to be visually specific to the task. A lot of design companies have a very distinct visual style, take a look at Airside or The Designer’s Republic for instance, very strong chops there, amazing work and so obviously them. I always assumed I’d develop a style as I grew into my new career but it doesn’t seem to have happened.

I’m quite glad really, I like the varying approaches we have, I like doing something different every day.

Idly researching a project the other day I found this via Yousayto. What a gem, I could look at this for hours. We’re working on a concept similar to Where’s Wally at the moment and this ties in beautifully. I love the depth of the image, you could root around for hours delving into the space. In an age where it’s evermore important to get your message across in less than 5 seconds it’s great to see this. It’s engaging AND entertaining. I want to spend time exploring it. I’ll make time to explore it.

Wish I could tell you more about the image. No idea who it’s by or where it’s from. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

We only do two fonts, Plain Block or Script…

Brrr, it’s a bit cold over our way at the moment so we made this warming orange light to keep our spirits up…

Video is new to us. We tend to approach new things by just fiddling around with them until they work or they at least look nice. This is our first play with youtube, the compression makes the movie look blocky. Need to fix that.
