the end is nigh

I've been a busy bee of late, and truth be told quite the hermit. Not without reason though, as I'm 4 weeks from finishing my Graphic Design course.

I have learned a great deal, and am really looking forward to landing my first full-time Graphic Design job.

Below are some recent pieces I created.

Zoology // Independent Australian Music Magazine
Cover Design & Photography

Milk BAR // A Inner Melbourne bar catering to young professionals with a warm and homely breakfast sitting, through to late evening drinks.

Identity & Stationary Design

salt

Dusk pastels. Onshore wind swell. Cold face and numb limbs.

Far from ideal conditions, I miss it dearly. 

weekend warrior

It was a great weekend of waves on the Victorian Surfcoast. I haven't been in the water as much as I would have liked to, and really felt it physically. Though I managed to get some screamers on the longboard this morning at one of my favourite points, before I returned home for my final term of study.

Here are some photos from Sunday morning.

think big poster

I've an entry in a poster competition for Magnation and AGIdeas. The entry with the most 'Facebook Likes' will be mass produced and sold at the AGIdea's Design Conference, with a 30% commission paid to the creator.

Here is my entry, "Think Big". I would greatly appreciate your likes at the Facebook page.

cob oven workshop

I have been doing a fair amount of research on various natural building techniques, and managed to get to the Cob Pizza Oven building workshop. It was a fun couple of days in the sun, working hard to build an awesome pizza oven. Cob is a mixture of clay, water, sand and straw/or horse manure. You can build pretty much anything out of it, including houses.

 Check out the time lapse video I captured over the 2 days. Enjoy.

I worked on a flyer concept for the Gusto exhibition in Melbourne. The exhibition was 'Celebrating the Culinary History of Victoria'. 

motifs & patterns

Here are a couple of motif & pattern pieces I did late last year.

The second issue of Sea Stoke is out. Take a peek at some of the features here.

A couple months back I worked on a story about the much loved Torquay character, Wayne Roach. 

Have a read if you're interested here.

simon & kirsty's wedding

Simon & Kirsty tied the knot on a hot February day. The Split Point Lighthouse, Airey's Inlet, provided  a beautiful backdrop for an evening of dancing and celebration.

Wishing them all the best with continuing to create happy and healthy family lives together.
