A few days ago comics scribe extraordinaire (and fast becoming Hollywood darling) Mark Millar held a little ‘design a new logo for my forum’ competition.
Now, before I hear everyone yelling ‘SPEC WORK!’, sometimes you have to give in to your inner geek and have some fun for half an hour or so.
Of course I didn’t win. But now I have the beginnings of a new typeface.
This was the first year that we worked on the Felder FelderAW collection showing at London Fashion Week. It was also the first public performance of the new logo/marque we designed for them. Sadly we couldn’t be there on the night itself, so we had to make do with a lo-res video from LFW TV.
I just updated my other site ximeraLabs. Well, I say ‘update’… all I did was add a new splash/holding page — whatever you want to call it. The last time I updated the site was in 2006! But thats the way it goes I guess. XimeraLabs started life as my primary website in 2000-2001 — part graphic playground, part portfolio. Over the years there seemed to be less and less need to do something with the site as a creative outlet, mainly because I launched this site in 2003, and focussed all my attention here. Adding to that fact that I could/can use work as a creative outlet, setting aside time to populate ximeraLabs with experiments for the sake of experimenting became a moot point.
Anyway. During the past few years I’ve collected a load of (unused) work, failed experiments, tests, etc… that I think have more life than just slowly rotting away in a folder on a drive, so I think its time to start remixing and putting out content again.
I have just updated our /Mr and Mrs M./ website, adding projects Liz and I have been doing recently, including a lot of work for German fashion duo Felder Felder, who we’ve been working with since 2007.
Go have a look at our work!
I’ve been working on and off for the past 2 years or so on the first issue of Starling, and I finally assembled the selection of work I want to show within its pages. Now “all” that needs to be done is the cover…
