PROJECTS
Below are selections of recent projects I have undertaken in the hopes of improving peoples life style.
THE WAY GUIDANCE SYSTEM
The “WAY” is a virtual augmented reality way finding system, is designed to integrate virtual sign systems into our daily lives and guide us through our unknown environments, using mobile devices.
This wallpaper design was created to express the mood and experience of playing a board game, with the real life business factors of real life as you move across the room.

Business Interactive wallpaper
I designed an interactive wallpaper design that allowed people to use the wall as a means of planning their bussiness accorss their surroundings.
The wall replicates the sensation of playing a game such as Monopoly with the aspects of real life applications, such as the influence of consumers, social networks and forms of communicating with audience.
The wallpaper was designed to inspire team work and provide a fresh perspective to business planning.
The Logo representing the Medical consortium ,based on a recreation of the light reflection occurring within the eye of those afflicted with the Myopia medical condition.
The info graphic was designed to provide a single column grid from which the client can summaries their information, While still having the room to positon diagrams that can be created from basic software. The flexibility allows the client to create interesting graphic info graphics, simply by using the basic diagrams found in excel.
This conference Poster was designed to have a baseline that gave plenty of room for informations, while providing ideal positions for images and statistical diagrams of different forms.

MYOPIA CONSORTIUM BRANDING
I designed the branding for Mtopia Consortium, representiing the various consortiums dedicated towards researching and treating the Myopia medical condition.
The Infographics representied a means of using conventional software such as excel, which the people of myopia consortium were well accustomed to. They could do this my using my template and link system to insert their diagrams from excell into the info graphic template.
This allowed them to make on a regular basis infographics that are well positioned and informative for a variety of events. They would save on design expenses and time that could be put towoards spreading awareness of the mediacl condition and treatments for it.

These are the arrangement of Celtic step pattern cards. These cards each represent a the transition from introduction to step patterns, different types of step patterns patterns and the repeated pattern where you put what you have learned into practice.
Here people are able to repeat a pattern in different media, fro ink based to pencil sketches. They are then able to even mix their different patterns together to create a different perspective of step patterns, very different from the ancient celtic designs of the past. Allowing people of different ages to revive the ancient designs in different ways as the see fit.

THE CELTIC STEP PATTERNS
GUIDEBOOK
Here see Celtic step patterns reimagined through you.
The step pattern guides are designed to combine the processs of theoratical learning with practical learning into the same process.
These cards each represent a the transition from introduction to step patterns, different types of step patterns patterns and the repeated pattern where you put what you have learned into practice.
These guides can be released on a monthly basis. Allowing people to build a collection of ancient design guides, revisioned through a modernist style that can be expanded and mixed into a scultpural piece.
Allowing you to take an ancient design style and give it your own modernist style.

This was a image manipulated from a simple image of ice that I deconstructed from photoshop and reconstructed to create an entirely different image layer by layer.
Celestial album cover
This was a image manipulated from a simple image of ice that I deconstructed from photoshop and reconstructed to create an entirely different image layer by layer.
The album was focused on the them e of re creating an old classic album using modern photographic manipulation, to put a new spin on an old classic
Technology and religion collide
Print to digital book covers
These books were created for the purpose of representing the collision between technology and religion. The concept was that of light born from beleif and from technology.
Science and religious beliefs represent the both the past present and future debates that have are ccuring. To represent this i based the designs by bring printing styles from before the emergenace of figital media (screen printing) and design illistrations to make use of its.
These illistrations representied angels angels and the conflict of light and darkess in the form of technology.
These prints were then converted into digital, deconstructed and reconstructed into the format of a book cover.
Square Pusher album cover
The Square Pusher album cover was designed to represent the static and distorted sound effects that that representied the music style of Square Pusher.
I chose to represent this by using architectural photography to take images and then convert the images to print, where I reconstructed the imagery. The reconstructed imagery demostrated the distorted reality as buildings from our surroundiing were effectes by the music, demonstrating its influence.
The reconstructed prints were then scaned and merged with illistrations of square characters representing square pushers effect and manipulation of our sense of reality through music.
This design combined photography, print, illistration and typography design.
