'HIDE IT!' BOOK JACKET DESIGN

 

 BOOK JACKET DESIGN IDEAS FOR A RECENT 

IDEAS TAP BRIEF. 'HIDE IT!' IS A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES WRITTEN BY YOUNG PEOPLE AND ASIDE FROM THIS THE BRIEF WAS VERY OPEN. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE ONE OF MY DESIGNS USED BUT I LOVE 1960S ERA PENGUIN BOOK JACKET DESIGN SO IT WAS JUST LOTS OF FUN TO HAVE A GO AT MY OWN TAKE ON IT FOR THIS PROJECT.

NEW MEAT

FINALLY FINISHED A VERSION OF THE 'MEAT' POSTER I STARTED A WHILE AGO, INSPIRED BY THESE AMAZING VINTAGE 'NOURISHING MEAT' ADVERTS. IF I STILL LIKE IT TOMORROW(!) THEN THIS PIECE COULD SOON BE AVAILABLE AS A PRINT.

SLURRY TYPE

1950S HORROR COMICS ARE A CONSTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME - I HAVE  QUITE A FEW COLLECTIONS AND LOVE THE STORYTELLING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE VISUAL STYLE OF THE GENRE. IN TRIBUTE I DID THIS HAND LETTERED TYPE TODAY, WHICH I'VE NAMED 'SLURRY' - I WANTED TO CREATE MY OWN VERSION OF THAT FUN, GROSS FONT STYLE MADE FAMOUS BY THE GENRE, WHILST EVOKING THE KIND OF MEAT SLURRY USED TO MAKE HOTDOGS... I'VE HAD A FEW OTHER IDEAS FOR GROSS FONTS I'D LIKE TO MAKE BUT NEED TO LEARN A BIT MORE ON HOW TO MAKE THEM USEABLE FIRST!
