Final stages of New Skateboard Graphics book design. We’re taping every page up and looking for mistakes, inconsistencies, etc. Once its fixed, a new print-out gets taped up.
We're running out of space, this is just A–E. Its amazing to see it all in one non-digital place though.
This is a screenshot of a book cover design i am working on for a Uni assignment. The brief is to create a series of book covers for an author, the book covers need to work as a set.
Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards.

This is the colophon from The Twelve Moneths and Christmas Day from 'Fantastickes' by Nicholas Breton, published in 1951 by Clarke & Way, New York. ("Moneths" is a 17th-century spelling. The Fantastickes was originally published in 1626.) It is the only book hand-set by Bruce Rogers, the American typographer and type designer (1870-1957). Please see Rogers' note.
I'm fortunate to have acquired a set of Howard Trafton's calendar cuts, and created this page for inclusion in the annual collaborative journal, It's a Small World.

Imperial Chemical Industries - the then great ICI - was the UK's largest chemical concern and it employed high standards of publicity and advertiisng for many years. This delightful book was issued in 1937 to promote the development of a new waterproofing agent 'Velan' which was launched with an exhibition at London's Dorland House. It tells the story of Hilary Hexagon (Hexagon House was interestingly the home of ICI's ex-British Dyestuffs Corporation laboratories in Blackley, Manchester, and where Velan was developed) and her quest in London to remain waterproof with the assisance of an already waterproofed duck.
The uncredited text was written by Marjorie Hayward, a press officer at ICI, and the illustrations are by the marvellous Polish born Feliks Topolski who had arrived in the UK in 1935. I've long admired his work and this is a wonderful example of his loose drawing or sketch style. The book is beautifully printed by the Plaistow, London, based Curwen Press; interesting as ICI themselves owned a superb in-house printing outfit, the Kynoch Press in Birmingham. ICI did use Curwen on occasion, possibly when Kynoch were busy?
It's a wet day in London for one top-hatted gent whilst Hilary Hexagon, with the duck in tow, strides out between showers and sunshine.

My second submission for the Simon & Shuster 60th anniversary edition of Ray Bradbury's brilliant--and still vitally relevant-- novel.
In this design, I'm going out on a limb and making a connection to the current state of the publishing industry, how it seems to struggle with two worlds-- the digital and the physical. In Bradbury's novel, books are burned to destroy forbidden knowledge, to control how stories affect the populace. Burning books is not very different from deleting files off of an e-reader, a computer, or a database.
The digital opens up all sorts of corruption of text & narrative & information. Replace the 'n' word in Huckleberry Finn to make it more palatable for modern sensibilities; trim out the 'boring bits' from Moby Dick...
Thought-control by slight degrees.
Update: Now, a couple of years later, I look at this and smile because I think I made the judges balk that I designed the cover to look like a Kindle. Heh. Go big or go home, IMO.

CARLA RISING | BOOK COVER DESIGN
Maria Papaefstathiou partnered with author Topper Sherwood to create the cover of Topper's new book Carla Rising.
The book challenges war and violence as a means for resolving political / labor struggles.
A novel based on a true story.
The story of Carla Rising follows the injustice and violence endured by a real community of coal miners in the 1920s. This rugged band stands up to callous industrialists and corrupt law-enforcement officials to win decent working conditions, fair pay and greater regard for human life. Having escaped her overbearing mother’s mountain life, Carla Rising finds herself caught between two rival leaders in a workers’ rebellion against the brutal regime of a corrupt county sheriff and the Sovereign Coal Company.
Carla Rising walks a rugged path for justice as she and the miners defend their mountain settlement. The conflict ultimately draws the involvement of the US Army, whose leaders threaten to use their newest bombing planes to put a quick end to the energy war if Carla and the miners don’t back down….
I illustrated the cover to portray this hero woman and truly collectivist. A strong woman who lost her husband but continued to fight for justice, in the union. For one -her husband- and all.
