<title>wearewhatwedo.org Postcards</title>
<description>College work.

I was to choose 6 actions from the 100 listed at wearewhatwedo.org and create an advertising campaign.

The six I chose were:
- Calculate your carbon footprint.
- Choose your friends wisely.
- Say thanks.
- Take time to listen.
- Register online as an organ donor.
- Find out where your lunch has come from.

I chose these purely on a visual preference, I thought I could get more from these six.

Above is a range of postcards featuring all six of my concepts. These were presented in A6 format.</description>

<title>SilvaSurf Logo</title>
<description>Silvasurf, a London-based internet web server.

I was asked to design a professional looking logo. Initially the client was determined to use the Silver Surfer character from Fantastic 4 but I was reluctant due to copyright etc.

The final logo did infact feature the character but it was a half arsed attempt in the end due to the arrogance of the client.

This is the logo I preferred.

<title>Exploring Magic Web Design</title>
<description>College work.

Had to design a website based on magic. What direction, colurs etc was all up to myself. I went with the red &amp; black as they are usually colours associated with magic.

The website also had to have a flash intro [link]

<title>Urbaniks Dance Program</title>
<description>Was asked by Urbaniks, a street dancing group, to design the programme for their yearly show.

The programme had to be printed in black &amp; white due to cost and was pretty specific and very informative, so this left design and experimentation very limited.

<title>Urbaniks Logo</title>
<description>I was asked to design a logo for a street dance class.

I was given the image of a man dancing and I had to incorporate that into the logo in some way. I decided just to use the silhouette of the dancer and place him in different backdrops. [link]

The logo had to be printed onto a black hoody so the logo had to work in 2 colours max!

This was the one the customer prefered.

I had to develop concepts using typography to stimulate awareness of phobias.

I had to create an exhibition poster, admission tickets, 4 exhibition panels showing 4 different phobias.
