Football Football

These are two book jackets that I've worked on for Carlton Books. They are in a similar style to the England Supporters Guide which I did prior to Englands attempt at the world cup earlier in the year. The drawings are all different despite looking similar. It didn't help that all 3 play in red and white. I wasn't tempted to cut and paste, honest.


Grafik



I have a couple of pages in the new issue of Grafik. They have a hand drawn type special with work from Jody Barton, Dan Cassaro, Mario Hugo, Carolyn Sewell, Seb Lester, Deanne Cheuk, Gemma O'Brien, Friends of Type, Si Scott and myself. Plus lots of other stuff too. Get it!

Typographic Sketch Books






I have some work in this new book by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico. Published by Thames and Hudson its a big book packed with stuff.

Heres some blurb:

Aimed at all those who use type, whether by hand or on screen, and selected by the world’s most knowledgeable and well-connected graphic design commentator, Steven Heller, this survey gets into the minds of designers who create typefaces, word-images and logos through examination of their private sketchbooks.

Arranged by designer, this collection reveals how the world’s top typographers and designers strive to find new and exciting ways of communicating through letters and words.

Contributors include both the world-renowned – Milton Glaser, Erik Spiekermann, Peter Bilak and Jean Baptiste LevĂ©e – and the up and coming, while Steven Heller and Lita Talarico’s text provides invaluable commentary on the designers’ creative process, their design philosophies, inspirations, techniques and influences.
