The New York Times Magazine
Independent newspaper redesign (with the in-house team of designers: Dan Barber, Stephen Petch, Gordon smith, Nick Donaldson.)
Redesign of The Independent Magazine. Design and art direction of the launch issue by Matt Willey and Stephen Petch.
Working on magazines allows me access to things I know I like; art, literature, poetry, photography, food, wine, humor … a lot of things. Being part of a good magazine with good people is a wonderful thing.
‘breathe’ and ‘2060’ posters – produced to raise awareness of the destruction of the amazon rainforest for the US-based charity rainforest action network (RAN). the project was a collaboration with photographer Giles Revell.
Fedrigoni 2010 calendar – a post-it style calendar for italian paper company fedrigoni, with a page-per-day, a colour-per-month and perforated fold-up numbers.
I’m not keen on the idea that there is some sort of ‘style’ that simply gets applied to a brief, and without that I’m not sure how to summarize my work in any simple encapsulated way. the projects are all different; my description of the independent project would be very different to my description of the tom dixon book. I’ve tried explaining what I do to my mother-in-law – it didn’t work! designboom interview
