It's been awhile since the last post...things have been crazy since I finished college (in a good way though). I have just noticed that Proud Creative, one of my favourite studios, have updated with a couple of new projects. Also, I have finally got my own personal up and running. You can check it out here.

The Life of Jamie Livingston

An absolutely amazing visual story...here Jamie Livingston documents his life from 1979 to 1997 (when he dies from cancer) by taking one polaroid photo each day...little is known about him, but you begin to put pieces of his life together through the progression of these images...

great story about it here

Graduation Time!

It's been ages since the last post, all college work is now finished and wrapped up but the last few weeks have been mental to say the very least.

So now is time that hundreds of graphic design students around the world get their online portfolios up and running (mine will be up tomorrow, fingers crossed), I havn't see many yet to be honest but I did stumble across these two rather talented guys. Ben Hamilton and Keith Hancox who have just graduated from Bath University have some really smart work.

Kanye West - Homecoming (ft Chris Martin)

Hate him or love him, you have to give it to Kanye...he always produces the goods when it comes to his videos. These shots of Chicago's magnificent architecture are extra poignant because i used to live there as a young lad....the video is directed by perhaps the best hip hop director of all time Hype Williams.

Bibliothéque

Some stunning work from London based creatives Bibliothéque. These guys designed the book "How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul", an essential read for anyone who's thinking of pursuing a career in design.
