Poster and Booklet Cover printed in B&W on 350gsm Matt Paper

UV Spot Varrnish. Very simplistic design i was intrigued by the front cover of the booklet with the triangle shaped front cover and how the designer had integrated this across towards the poster also.

The UV Varnish adds to the whole aesthetic and makes it appear a little more high end.

OPEN-ENDED (the art of engagement) was as much about the featured art as how various performances and interventions activated the gallery and museum spaces. The printed material was an extension of this idea, creating a space for each piece to announce it's function in a playful and relevant manner. The most important of these was the Events Calendar, which listed all events for the exhibition and also manifested itself as a wall calendar inside the gallery.

One colour printed material with a focus on stock colour really makes these prints. The layout is nothing new but they work together as a set really well.

Amazing use of blends and simplistic shapes to create stunning visuals. These are simply incredible and display the respective objects in an interesting way. Digitally printed.

Siggi Odds hasn't updated his work since last year but his poster/promotional work is stunning and ranges from strong vector illustration to purely type based work. Either way its beautiful.

"Action for Age was a project based around the wellbeing of the elderly population of current society. I had to design/create a service, experience or design solution to help prevent isolation and loneliness amongst the elderly population.

I came to the conclusion of creating an organization called ‘The Tea Room’ the circle 

stain of a cup of tea in itself can be used to symbolise the unity and the circle of friends created within this organization. The aim of The Tea Room is to create a warm community that elderly people feel they are a part of. The Tea Room Press; a community lead newspaper that would be run primarily by the elderly.

The Newspaper was designed completely to accommodate the needs and requirements of an eldery person. For the body copy of the newspaper and the overall house style of The Tea Room it was decided that Egyptienne 55 Roman was the best typeface to use. It provides maximum legibility and doesn’t look too obtrusive when used in a large weight."

A strong concept for this brief and interesting layout created to accommodate the older audience.

Microrayon Living is an inventory of everyday life strategies and D.I.Y. practices in the Post Soviet Microrayon. 

Research were conducted, together with several local partners in Gldani, Tblisi and in Veshnyaki, Moscow, two identical city quarters in terms of layout, the former at the periphery of the former Soviet Union, the latter in the center of power. Striking similarities and differences came to the fore. 

The next step in the research trajectory will be the development of a scenario for a social housing strategy in this context which will be presented at the Moscow Architecture Bieniale 2010.

6 different issues of 66 copies, 16 pages per issue, 30x42 cm, b/w newspaper

The oder and direction of the sheets within the 6 different issues are placed in varied sequences. Therefore, the documentary portraits of the quarry workers are always positionned differently. It creates diverses picture compositions.

The central spread is the only entire portrait of the issue. The newspaper is not bound, so that every sheet can work as a poster.

Wonderful newspaper printed magazines

Beautiful layouts with a minimalist approach to colour and type.

I'm drawn to the idea of just using black and stock in my future works as i am starting to experiment with how much information i can reduce from a piece before it become redundant.
