Books

These are the books I will be illustrating. I know the visuals appeal to gamers, but I often feel as if we are being talked down to as a target market and I think its time people started to make games their own. By this I mean that everyone who plays games has their own individual experience, thats the attraction, but not enough creativity and subtley is executed in these designs. It gives the reader the preconceived image with no room for debate on the content.

Book Fair

Has taken a new direction, doing something I have wanted to do for ages, but didnt think I could use it as a brief.... Video game book covers. A J Hartley did these fantastic covers as opposed to the very popular Olly Moss ones. Fits in with my own personal beliefs on video games, as well as giving me an easy opportunity to get some of my work out there and seen at the book fair.

Minimalist Game Posters

Thought that with the up and coming year I should post these now, as it would save me finding them again for visual reference. Not only that but I think it would be a great starting point for a brief and give me a good idea of where to go for the visual direction of a project, say for book publication, editorial or even a series of book covers, although I hopefully wont be applying it to something as mundane as book covers since Olly Moss beat me to it years ago.
