Updated design portfolio

I’ve been working on some interesting projects recently including DVD work for US performance group Goat Island and philospher and writer Hélène Cixous; conference exhibition work with the illustrator Marcus Oakley; and launching a new campaign with Jamie Catto opposing the UK arms trade called Stop Arming the World.

So I thought it really was time to update the design portfolio section of this site…

Making a good impression…

I’ve been working on loads of new projects with some amazing clients recently including activist Jamie Catto, the Live Art Development Agency, artist and sculptor Hannah Woodhouse, film director Ross MacGibbon and ethical agency, Forster.

If you’d like help or advice with design, campaigns or branding – across any media – then why not get in touch?

Good stuff

Lots of new work in my design portfolio. Take a look…

A dishonourable mention…

This made me chuckle in today’s Metro. A couple of years ago I designed the trophy for the 40th anniversary ‘Booker of Bookers’ literary prize. It was awarded to Salman Rushdie for Midnight’s Children. He obviously doesn’t think much of it!

Illustrations for Streetwise Opera

Streetwise Opera is an amazing organisation that stages professional operas performed by people who have experienced homelessness. They recently commissioned me to create four images for their upcoming winter production FABLES. The four fables are The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Oscar Wilde’s The Nightingale & The Rose, Hey! Come On Out! by Shinichi Hoshi, and the story of The Hartlepool Monkey. The performances are to be filmed and screened as the highlight of this winter’s Shoreditch Music Festival.

Lumos website design

David Caines Unlimited has designed the website for children’s charity Lumos.

The charity, originally called The Children’s High Level Group, was co-founded by author J K Rowling. The new name, Lumos, is named after the spell in J K Rowling’s Harry Potter books. (In the books, Lumos causes a small beam of light to emit from the spell-caster’s wand.)

Lumos has unveiled its new name and look with a rallying call to put an end to the systematic institutionalisation of disadvantaged children across Central and Eastern Europe.

To find out more about their work, or to support them, take a look at the new website.
