Thank God That’s Over

–

May 17, 2012. Collaborators, Magazines, Photography

‘Thank God That’s Over‘ is an independently published newspaper containing 29 colour photographs by Emiliano Granado, from his series created on board the cruise ship Explorer of the Sea. In his own words, Emiliano says “Thanks God that’s over. Those were the very first words out of my mouth after five days onboard”. Sounds like a painful experience – but the result is a beautiful series of photographs. You can buy the newspaper here.

Graham Carter, Me Marionette

May 8, 2012. Collaborators, Exhibition, Illustration

The very talented Graham Carter has a new solo exhibition at Ink_d Gallery in Brighton. The artist is assuming the role of Geppetto, the creator of Pinocchio and creating a magical world of characters, from warriors to explorers, and astronauts to yetis. Stunning work as ever, but we were particularly taken with this animation in collaboration with Tick Tock Robot.

Exploding Vegetable Infographic

May 1, 2012. Books, Design, Infographic

We always enjoy working on book projects with Rotovision, a leading visual culture publisher, and were very intrigued by their latest brief. They asked us to create an infographic for a forth-coming book, which takes an alternative look at food culture. We cannot say too much at this stage, but it was a lot of fun illustrating exploding vegetables.

We are honoured that our art direction of Disappear Here magazine was used to illustrate Alex Trochuts entry in Computer Arts excellent ’200 Best Design Moments Ever’ issue. It was a pleasure to work with Alex, who is renowned for his stunning typography, and our collaboration was described by Computer Arts as ‘Perhaps the most iconic typographic image he crafts is for the first issue of Disappear Here magazine in 2009 – it’s a big gold and black statement that reads: ’50 Things We Love.’ (blush)

February 25, 2012. Press

We are very happy to be included in the March issue of Digital Arts magazine, as part of a feature called ‘Why Don’t You’ where creatives were asked to write a brief to inspire personal projects. Our creative submission was ‘The year is 2055 and a major gallery has commissioned you to create the promotional artwork for a retrospective exhibition looking at ‘the defining moments of life in the first decade of the 21st Century’. Your artwork can take any format including print, digital, video and sound instillation.’ Hope it inspired people to create.

Stuart, our art director, thought about advice he would like to have been given when he started his career. You can see our response here.
