Here some new stuff I’ve done with Ola’s help, w bought some crazy colours and experimented a bit with colour screenprints.

Typographic poster

Typographic poster, on theme “Words which changed the World”. Experimenting with type is a real fun, and its never ending process, there’s always something to change.

Friends of the Earth

College brief: this project required the production of a range of print media, assembled in InDesign, for a Friends of the Earth environmental awareness campaign. I wanted to make it a bit more intriguing and visually interesting so I came up with the idea of Species in Danger, and retro 70′s inspired graphics style.

screen printing – the beginnings

art2bad — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:04:18 +0000

I have finally set up my own screen and collect all necessary tools and chemicals. So I was able to try d.i.y. screen printing at home, effects are still far from perfect:) , I must work out appropriate exposure times – not sure how good is my light sensitive photo emulsion,because I got it from a friend for free and I am using builders flodlight (500W) so I just have to try few times to find perfect time. Anyway even like that I quite like the effect, it has a real hand made feel, unique and very hard to re-create digitally.

words of wisdom

Last college project of the academic year. We had to create a poster based on our “words of wisdom” for first year students. Kind of advice based on our experience as graphic design/visual communication students.
