My first attempt at an animated gif to illustrate a little spec idea I had for Anusol pile and hemorrhoid cream. The a5 scratchcard would be placed in men’s and women’s health magazines, but would also work as an animated banner ad. Click to play.
I designed this typographical poster for the office of my friends over at Why Digital Media in Leeds.
Forths asked me to design them some courtesy cards to send to clients following a meeting.
I came up with three designs with varying degrees of formality in their tone of voice, giving them the option to match a to their individual client relationships.
KC and Hull City AFC were founded in the very same year and have enjoyed a successful partnership ever since. This DPS press ad highlights this affiliation by making a play on one of the City fans favourite chants.

This post has nothing whatsoever to do with work, but as anyone who’s ever watched The Shining will tell you, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
So, with that in mind, I thought I’d share with you a few of my favourite pictures from my travels around Malaysian Borneo in January 2011.
The absolute highlight of the trip and something I will never, ever forget, was the sight of a wild Orangutan climbing in the canopy on the banks of the Kinabatangan River just before sundown. To say it was magical doesn’t even begin to do it justice.
Unfortunately these sightings are becoming all too rare, as their natural habitat continues to be cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. All is not lost though, as there are some wonderful charities who are working hard to protect the rainforest and save the Orangutans. You can read more about one of those charities here.
