Every year the Woodstock Festival invites Revolution to host their own stage at the event. For woodstock 9 they asked me to design the poster for their stage and I really enjoyed doing it.With Revolution being and activist based company I wanted to have the poster reflect a very DIY feel to it. Their logo which is a raised fist is an iconic image, and I combined it with the music theme by placing a microphone in the hand. Following on with the DIY / Revolutionary them I used red, black,a nd brown inks, as well as adding an aged texture to the overall image. To go with the poster I also did a double sided “loyalty card” which had the lineup on one side, and tokens on the other. these were stamped each time a person visited the stage, and prizes were given to supporters who collected all the stamps.

Gail and Nicola asked me if I would design the logo for their new venture called “Ladies Bicycle Workshops”. Ladies Bicycle Workshops are events for ladies where they can learn about bicycles, maintenance, and basic bike skills. With it being an all ladies affair I chose to use bright pinks and blues, and used tones to expand the colour pallet so as to keep print costs down. Incorporating elements in the design that communicated what the workshops were about as well as some decorative icons kept the logo both informative and fun.

This is a web site design I did for the Highway Collective. The purpose of the site was to keep people updated on what the group is doing, show off the merchandise, and also perform as an online mag for people to follow events etc. I built the site around a classic “WordPress” layout, and incorporated elements that visually communicated the attitude and up beat feel of the Highway Collective. The site is currently being coded, and as soon as its up I will post links.

This is a poster I did for Fox riders co some time back. Fox has always been a big supporter of BMX and has always put on kick ass events every year. For this event they wanted to change things up a bit and focussed on a mini ramp / spine competition. They asked me to design the poster for them and this is what I came up with. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and was also stoked because I used a pic of my buddy (and FOX team rider) Tyrone Bradley blasting a toboggan on it. Old school is cool!

I designed this poster for an art show that Lakai Footwear was hosting. The show was called Kickstart (kicks + art), and involved a number of artists painting onto blank Lakai shoes and loafers. Because the shoes in this show were a blank canvas for the artists I tried to create a poster that put emphasis on the shoes, but also reflected that fact that they were to be used as part of the art. In doing so I illustrated the shoes so that they looked like a colour by number, and then used a rough canvas texture in the background. All of the information about the show was placed in shoe boxes so as to keep the focus on footwear.

Revolution were looking for a logo board that they could use in their December 09 range and asked if I could work on one for them. As revolution are an activist brand I thought of a graphic that would be topical and emphasis the activist nature of the brand. I decided to use the image of an AK-47 on the deck, but make it up using words and phrases that promote peace and unity. If people around the world put those words into practice as often as they use guns I’m pretty sure we would be living in a much better place. I complimented the graphic with the words from the song “WAR” by Bob Marley, and then used the red, yellow, and green colours to compliment the Bob Marley lyrics.
