Looking to innovate
with letterpress techniques, New North Press worked with Greenspace to produce a set of patterned hexagonal
blocks that can be tessellated to create letterforms, patterns and boarders. The
modular blocks were laser-cut from maple by Thomas Mayo.
Commissioned by
architects partnering on a new residential site in Hoxton, London, the printed
results are huge structural letters that reflect the development.
He was too lazy to take out his contacts, so he ended up staring with clear eyes at the murkiness of the ceiling as he lay in bed. It didn’t make a difference. The ceiling was just as dark, just as grey as it would’ve been without the contacts. Bored of the stillness he shut his eyes hoping that imagination would take him away. Grey turned to black. Emptiness. Silence. Nothing. Nothing began to turn into a feeling. With his eyes tightly shut he began to feel nauseated. Nothing existed in front of him, an indescribable emptiness filled his stomach. He felt as though he had been removed from his body to witness the aloneness that surrounded him. A non physical pain began to surface deep within. Incapable of enduring the bitter desolation he opened his eyes. The sickness in his stomach softened then disappeared. Again, he was staring at the grey ceiling, but now, appreciating the static silence that the sight had to offer. Then quickly fell asleep to a colorful dream.
The very last part of my senior projects from last semester to share with you all:
I decided to create illustrated album packaging for a fictional double-album release from the Local Natives. The album art for both Gorilla Manor and Hummingbird have been re-imagined and combined into one with the use of a Turkish paper-folding technique.
The album packaging also features original hand-lettering and illustrated record sleeves and labels.
