Great reference Book: Print + Pattern 2

 
 I'm working on a new surface design project this week + for inspiration have been consulting Print + Pattern 2 by Bowie Style (aka Marie Perkins - who writes the very popular blog of the same name).


The book is great for getting ideas for new colour combinations to use in one's work.
I absolutely love the colour combos which Jessica Jones has used in her Calliope pattern above. Both colourways are sooo juicy.
The book includes some of my favourite illustrators and/or designers including Lab Partners, Donna Wilson,  Dwell Studio + the fabulous Rob Ryan above.
A great reference book and methinks essential for any surface designer's library.



New Work: Videos + Signage for the LCBO


 
My favourite figure in this illustration is the guy on the left with the checked jacket. I based it on a snazzy one I found on the J crew website.

I've just completed a large project for the LCBO as part of their newly released redesign. I created illustrations for signage, flyers + 3 videos which you can view on their website + on Vimeo.
Above are 4 screen captures from the videos.

I worked with a great group at Blammo Worldwide (Don't you love that name Blammo?!) including Creative Director Andrew Simon, Senior Art Director Grant Cleland + VP Director of Client Services Kristin Vekteris. The animation of the video was done by the lovely Steve McGregor + his great group at Poster Boy who worked many late nights to meet the April 30th deadline!

Many thanks to Blammo + the LCBO for such a wonderful gig.
