I received an email from a club promoter (10/3/16) asking me to design a poster & accompanying social media promo imagery for his May Bank holiday event called LivelyHood @ Neighbourhood,Brighton. Although i've got lots of work piling up, still to finish, i felt i needed to add a bit more work to my individual responsive submission.Plus it was a pretty straight forward, open brief, plus i'd be getting paid - so i squeezed it in amongst the other deadlines just to keep me on my toes.

In short, this was a nice, short & sweet project to take on. It gave me a chance to try out some more minimal shape work, which I'm pretty happy about the final results, and is (dare i say it) a process that i'd like to incorporate more in my every-day practice. Obviously it might not be suitable for all design briefs, but it's certainly a 'style' that i'd like to hone and apply to future projects.
Instagram promo square
I posted up square crops of some of the designs to see what my millions AND millions of followers thought and if they got a good reaction - and they do seemed to have to got some love, which has led me to looking into making a series of small prints, possibly square, or 8x10,as square fares might be a pain for people to get hold of. I even entertained the idea of attempting a screen print version - but let's not get too excited shall we. Summer is coming up (supposedly) and making some artwork to celebrate it seems only the right thing to do - you never know, i might even sell some this time!? I can easily see some people wanting something like these hanging up in their homes, bringing in the holiday, pool vibes?! Then again, i thought at least one person on the planet would appreciate having a smashed turkey & Field Marshall Haig firing lasers out of his eyes hanging up on their wall.
