New Website Design...take four!


I don't think a web designer can ever really be 100% happy with their personal website, so I designed it again!

Stuff White People Like

This is a t-shirt design for a website called www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com
I just really like how they've illustrated the website's name

Think you know about print? Think again.

I thought I knew about print. I have now realised just how complex it is. From ordering your pages correctly so they print in the correct order (above) to inks not drying properly. Every tiny little bit of what a print designer puts together needs to be thought through to ensure success during print.

If, like me you would like to find out what you don't know I would recommend these two brochures: pass4press Version 9 and printing.com's File Supply Guide.

Students aren't *all* lazy!


Well these guys from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology definitely should make us proud to be students! They made a camera out of a mobile phone (with GPS), a Canon camera, newspapers, disposable hand warms, duct tape and a Styrofoam beer cooler. It travelled 17.5miles into the stratosphere and landed just 20miles from the launch point!

Victorian(?) Advertising

You quite often see years-old adverts painted on the sides of buildings but this one (seen from the train leaving Leeds station is a little more freaky than most (find it on Globe Road). Victorians were very interested in psychic abilities, the paranormal and mediums. You can see the jagged outline of the building/factory that was once connected to this building that has preserved the sign.


I found a comment about the advertisement:

Keith Dorrington, on June 19, 2008, said:

Can anybody help me with what the advertising says? I know the company is W.H.Turner, Tobacco Man'f. I can see outline of 'EVENING POST' in tall thin letters. I can see 'ING MEDIUMS' and 'T BRITAIN' (which I think should read 'GREAT BRITAIN'). Thanks for your help.
