Acne Paper 11 - Letterpress

A few months ago I was visited by Acne Paper to assist them in doing some Letterpress printing for the next issue. These large letters are around 30cm tall and were specially laser cut for the job. The magazine is out now, and it's really great. You can buy it here [update, now listed as out of print]. I'll put a few more images of the work once I've found a big enough scanner, it's a huge magazine!

Design by Ben Branagan.

Art Direction by Christoph Stolberg.

Elephant Magazine

A bad crop from an ill-fitting scanner.

Images from a photoshoot I did for Elephant magazine. It was a collaborative project using type designs from students on Graphics Design at UCA Epsom. These words were then displayed and I photographed it before printing a large format version and sculpting it and photographing it again. The image was used as the chapter divider for the Studios section.

The other chapter dividers are all images created by students at UCA Epsom. The project was Art Directed by Vaughan Oliver.

This issue is great, with an interesting feature on printing textiles as well as an interesting interview with Vaughan Oliver- including work from the Pixies Minotaur boxset I worked on.
