London, in a roundabout way

As well as writing the Barbican poster in the From Here to Here exhibition at 2005's London Design Festival, I wrote one of the stories in this accompanying book. Again based on Barbican, the story isn't quite as happy-go-lucky as the poster, but I'm pretty pleased with it. Being published alongside Simon Armitage is quite nice, too.

I chapter, X stories

The 26 Letters exhibition at the British Library was part of 2004's London Design Festival. It featured 26 posters, each built around a letter of the alphabet, and it proved a terrific success. I was lucky enough to be invited to create the poster for X (which you can see in my portfolio), alongside designer Thomas Manss of Thomas Manss & Company.

I also wrote the article that accompanies the poster in the exhibition book (above), which includes images and words from all the contributors. (Contributing designers included Alan Fletcher, Michael Johnson, Angus Hyland, Alan Kitching and Derek Birdsall, while the writers included Dan Germain of Innocent Drinks, John Simmons, Howard Fletcher and Will Awdry.)
