Some award-winning posters

I've just heard that the posters I did with True North, for their printer client APG Visual Colour, have won two awards at the Fresh Creative Awards.

They won Silver in the Posters category and (best of all for me) Gold in Writing for Design. Naturally, I'm thrilled.

The posters have also been nominated in the Rose Awards, and are being entered for Design Week as I type. So I'm hoping for a sackful of silverware.

(This is the kick I needed to tell you about the posters. With the arrival of my new website looming, I'm afraid I've been neglecting this one. Sorry about that.)

UPDATE: The posters have done better than I could have hoped at the Roses, scooping the Design Grand Prix! More details in my news section.

Croydon College posters and postcards

Yet another Croydon-based project, this time for Croydon College. Working with Mark Studio - a welcome new addition to the client list - I wrote a campaign of posters and accompanying postcards, encouraging people to sign up for further education. 

The target audience, fairly obviously, is those who've been through the education system without necessarily gaining all the qualifications they need. Finding themselves somewhat stymied in life, they're offered the chance of a fresh start with a qualification from Croydon.

The postcards follow the theme of the posters, but introduce case studies of people who've already made this journey - like the man who used to flog washing machines, but now runs his own recruitment agency. It's an education in education.

If you'd like to read the copy on the posters, download one here as a PDF (137k).

Ruskin Square billboards

As promised, and with thanks to Ruby at Figtree, here are some pictures of my billboards for the Ruskin Square development in Croydon. Look quite smart, don't they?

Following on from the last post, here's one of the posters inviting people to imagine the potential of the SoCo site.
