STARRY SKIES

Since December last year I have been working with the team that brought you Shambala Festival (best summer music festival in the UK imho :-), to create a brand identity for a NEW, more child & family oriented version of the Shambala festival, called Starry Skies. Above you can see some screenshots from the Starry Skies website.

POSTER:
This is the promotional poster for online use, for which I did the layout and typography, using Photoshop and Futura (an amusing sidenote - according to Wikipedia, Paul Renner, the designer of the typeface Futura 'was suspicious of abstract art and disliked many forms of modern culture, such as jazz, cinema, and dancing'):

MOCKUP:
This is a mockup I did early on, with a slightly different colour scheme and header to the final version:

HEADER DEVELOPMENT:
Scroll down to see the progression of the header from initial sketches to the final design, sketched out in graphite:

FOOTER:
This is the original drawing of the footer image, which can be horizontally repeated infinitely as a tile. Below you can see it in full colour, which was added digitally:

LOGO:
The Starry Skies logo, and a 'Wish You Were Here' banner which we were going to use on postcards:

FLAGS:
I have also design a series of flags which are being sewn by hand in Nepal to be used at the festival. I will post pictures once they are all sewn and ready and flying high on site!:

REFERENCE IMAGES:
(marimekko I think? correct me if I'm wrong):

FIRST THURSDAYS Bristol @ The Bank of Stokes Croft

Last night I was lucky enough to be exhibiting work in the First Thursdays project 'an art and music event on the 1st Thursday of each month showcasing Bristols wealth of music and art talent'. Held in Bristol at The Bank of Stokes Croft, a bar opposite my studio.

If you would like to buy any of these prints they are available for sale in my shop.

I showed some old work, but printed BIG (the two KUEDO images), some recent work (The DOLOR EP cover image, and the Flying Lotus image I did for Bonafide). But most excitingly for me, I got a NEW print made up that I hadn't seen printed before, the image I made for dj YO! MAFIA. It was really nice to see it in the flesh. Big shout out to the guys at NICHE FRAMES on Stokes Croft, who do all my printing, and did a beautiful job as always printing these...
