The Brooke Weston Partnership and Tresham Institute of Further Education have proposed a free school for Corby, this is a leaflet used as part of that process.
Posters for Information Services
These posters were recently created for the University of Northampton, Information Services department.
Bibliotech the publication for information services
I have recently finished work on revamping and redesigning the University of Northampton’s publication for Information Services ‘Bibliotech’. This has taken the form of an all new print publication and supporting website. The publication includes articles on the arrival of the first room sized computers to the recent emergence of the e-book reader plus many more. Special mention must go to Peter Lane and Chris Saunders, third year illustration students, who created the excellent cover.
Digital or litho document printing
I think this was one of the first documents we published using an entirely digital process; normally reports like this would be litho printed. Considerable cost savings were made on this short run document which then lead to more of the same in digital print. There are some compromises on the finish; this was printed on satin paper rather than the gloss laminated versions we had previously produced. Design considerations play a part, as large blocks of colour were left out and photographs were deliberately kept small.
Finished digital print:
Photography and typography combined
The typography sits with the 3D space of the picture.
3D Typography in After Effects
These photographs were taken for a set of postcards the Corby Business Academy were producing when it was nearing completion in 2008. The brief was to celebrate the new facilities and spaces which had been created for learning and teaching. The building was designed by Foster + Associates and consists of six faculties attached to a central atrium. The faculties themselves are self-contained, creating significant advantages, which includes reducing the amount of movement students and staff undertake during the working day.
The typography was created to sit within the space of the picture, and rendered to look realistic.
