Aboriginal Cover Design

This was the cover design for a little brochure about Aboriginal plant and animal life. The reason I am only posting the cover design is because I really like this design just on its own. The idea was that the design would reflect the aboriginal colours and flag, but with an earthy influence to represent the content that was within the brochure/booklet.

The Point

This is a large format poster I made for South Hurstville RSL Club. I named and featured the main bar of their club, which was the main feature of the club (it was the first thing you saw as you walked into the club). I never got to see the final result in context, however it was to be presented on a white light box behind the bar.





I though the straw font I made was the strongest part of the design and was a great representation of a bar that of course sells drinks! :P

Wedding Invitation

Last year I did a little freelance job of making some wedding invitations... the wedding was being held in a vineyard so my client was after a vineyard appeal. My client also LOVED words... and lots of them! As you can see... This job was pretty straight forward and I had a lot of fun with it. This is what I came up with:

Get Involved!

I made this shirt for Lil yesterday - it says "GET INVOLVED!" This is a saying/quote that my travel friends and I always say when we are egging others on to... well... get involved! I guess it can be used in so many ways, but it basically translates to get amongst it, carpe diem, step up, have a drink, enjoy yourself, etc.

Check out some photos I took of Lil's new shirt which she will take with her on her Canadian trip:

Nudie - Practice Goodism

Last year whilst at an Advertising/Design agency I made this little motion graphics for the company "Nudie." The intention of this video was to go on their website and to show all the different ways to "Practice Goodism" or simply put... "be good." Ideally there was to be new video released on a regular basis to show how to practice goodism by drinking Nudie. It was also to help highlight the fun and yummy appeal and image of Nudie juice.

If you click this link this will provide you more information for what the company was going for... http://www.nudie.com.au/fun/goodism/

Take note of the little guy waving the sign on the right of the home page... I designed and animated this little character too!


I have done other Nudie stuff... but just to keep things interesting I will just post this up for the mean time! Keep posted!

Unleash the travel bug within! CONTIKI

My aim was to launch a new advertising campaign to promote the tours offered by Contiki. I wanted to keep true to Contiki's core values, but try a different design approach rather than what they currently mix and match on their website and annual magazines. My work was selected to represent and promote the faculty of design for 2010 at the University of Wollongong. These designs were also published in "Art and Design Education Resource Guide 2010," a 240 page comprehensive guide to art and design courses available at universities, TAFE Colleges and private schools in Australia. You can obtain more information about the book my work was published in by visiting: http://www.dgonlinestore.com.au/_product_32283/Art_and_Design_Education_Resource_Guide_2010





These are pocket map designs so that when you arrive to your country destination you can find your way in a discrete manner.

Lanyards
These are lanyards that you get given to wear whilst travel. When traveling you have to keep certain emergency numbers on you for such things as your tour guide and places your staying at... when I was on tour I found it hard to keep my documents in one place and in tact for that matter! I thought this would be a great idea to go underneath your clothing when traveling in case of an emergency. You can be discrete with a lanyard under your jacket or jumper... or you can have it out loose so that people know your part of the group.

Bus Branding
I thought I would also show how these designs and branding could also be versatile enough for the bus branding. Also, when people see the Contiki bus's roaming around the cities and countries it is highlighting and advertising its services.

A birds eye view of an inverted snowman.

This is a birds eye view of an inverted snowman. This has no context... I was just bored and whipped this together. I think it is funny though because this is what I see in this image... but what do YOU see? Maybe a fat lady blowing you a kiss from the ground as you look off your 3 story balcony floor? Maybe a fat kid with a beanie and pom pom hat on? What do you see? heheh
