The Rojinegra Moleskine

The Rojinegra Moleskine has been around since Aug 2012 and it's mainly to doodle with a couple of penbrushes I usually carry around.

Make your Mark - Befriending poster

Long time no blog. So my latest project, now out and about Shetland, the new poster promoting the benefits of volunteering for Shetland Befriending Scheme. As I've done before see a few snaps of the design process - great fun - and the final result.

Go for Gold! - Befriending Scheme's new campaign

The 2012 Olympics are almost here and Shetland Befriending Scheme has chosen the eternal flame to promote their recruitment campaign. When I received the briefing to start the design process, there was a tiny note saying "fire writing?" as to suggesting that this could be a possibility. Never did I think I would be able to follow that road (crazy! I know, fire fonts, I'll never get that right) and looking back to the design process, all early sketches have the motto in some sort of bold-classic font away from the torch. To help me thumbnail and explore colours I used for the first time Paper by FiftyThree App. The app is a very basic notebook with simple tools for drawing and taking notes, this helped me focus on working ideas instead of wasting time drawing a detailed final image.
A few images from the process and the final image below.

Parkour in the streets of Lerwick

The second program of The Black Hole hit the airwaves today and for this edition Amy and myself met the guys from Northern Focus Parkour for a wee introduction to one of the coolest ... sports? activities? martial arts? you decide. Shetland's street culture is alive and kicking/jumping.
