It's true, and it's new.

Faber Films

Here are a few of the final book covers for the D&AD Faber Films typography brief.

The brief was set by Faber & Faber to design book jackets for the Faber Film back catalogue. The design works across the whole range of books as well as identifying each book category. I used the idea of feeling of design to create an overall look. My recurrent theme was paper and unique processes with type. Each book category had a different way of using paper and type. 

The design had to be simple to reproduce other titles to work with new Print on Demand technology.

The A-Z of Patterns 2008

The A-Z of Patterns is a book showcasing patterns I created using each letter of the alphabet set in Times New Roman and then in Verdana.

Each typeface has it's own section in the book, as you can see in the top photo.

*Update* There are more recent off-shoots from this project in other posts here & here.

I have never

An Atlas of the British Isles showing Aberdeen was my starting point.


I have never was a one day project. Using stickers and one piece of cut-out typography (above).

It is based on the idea that I have never used a lot of my household items in the way they are intended or even at all. Most of them were gifts and I felt guilty every time I saw something I hadn't used. Some where expressions of my ignorance in certain areas. I have never read the Greek Myths. Each object has a back story, where they came from, who they relate me to, how much they cost. Through making stickers and labelling these items I was able to admit to many things, my habit of collecting, regular guilty feelings, my lack of care, the care taken to hide my ignorance, my dislike to some things, small white lies and that the present giver is usually a reason to hold on to something rather than the actual object. So there it is, I've used them now, the guilt has gone.
