I recently created the logo and identity for a jewellers called Thomas of London. A nod to old, traditional jeweller’s logos and marks but contemporary. I will upload more images when I get the stuff from the printers.
Typography for a poster for Benito’s Hat.
To celebrate The Day of The Dead, Benito’s Hat decided to give out free burritos to offices in London. I was asked to come up with graphics for posters, newspaper adverts and to go on a special delivery car for the campaign.

On the 17th we (Pan Studio), Unity and the British Council opened an exhibition / shop / auction / workshop as a part of LDF. This Way Up aimed to sell designer goods, books and electrical equipment to raise money for the Brazil Futures Fellowship Fund. Lots in the auction included 4 dresses by Brasso and Brooke, an Office Desk by PearsonLloyd and a print by Anthony Burrill. We also held a few up-cycling workshops where designers could come and make things from scrap materials to auction. Me and Jonny, who also worked on the show with us, made 2 prints from scrap cardboard (see below). Thanks to Justus, Nick, Julian, Denitsa, Lawrence, Larssa and Robyn for all there help putting the show together. Photographs by Ben Barker.

Our (Designers Front) installation for Goodwood festival, this year at the Royal Festival Hall. Using ultrasonic sensors the piano responded to how people moved around it in the space and played note and chord combinations. Often nonsense, it sometimes became harmonious and beautiful.
Here it is on Design Week
Also a big thank you to Steve, Natalie and Siobhan for helping me push the piano down Peckham Rye & the kind gentlemen that picked us up when the wheel snapped.
An app I made that uses Flash’s P2P and the iPhone’s accelerometer. In a sense its like having a wimpier Wiimote in your pocket. Email me if you would like to play with the code.
