My flat mate Owen Davey and I were bored with our dull buzzer box so we decided to jazz it up a bit by collaborating on a sticky cover. I did the typography and Owen did the illustration of the robot. You can see more of Owens' work by clicking here!
Version two of my website is finally up and running. It features a lot more of the work I did for New Designers, as well as some more recent creations. A few of the pages are still under construction so you'll have to bare with me while I finish those. If you want to have a gander, click here!
So, the New Designers exhibition was last week and I must say it was a big success for my colleagues and I. Had lots of people taking an interest in our work and mine even made it to the Creative Review Blog, thanks for that Eliza!
For the last couple of days I have been making badges with the help of my lovely girlfriend, Claire. We've made a grand total of 96 bags, each containing 3 badges. Just took some snaps of various stages of the construction so thought I'd share them on here.
I got some postcards printed up by the fantastic people at JamJar Print. They arrived yesterday but I've only just had a chance to put them up on my blog. I'll have them to hand out at New Designers in London and I'll also be sending out some mail art packages with them included. If you're interested in exchanging some mail art feel free to drop me your address. There could be some badges in it for you!
My business cards arrived in the post today, rather exciting. The printers at moo.com have done a sterling job. Thought I'd snap them and stick them on here for you all to see. There are ten different designs on the back. The idea is that people will pick them up and go "Holy cow! This guy is amazing, I must immediately contact him via one of these details cleverly placed on the back and give him a job." That's the dream anyway. Enjoy!
Right, just one more thing related to the show and then I'll stop! Put together this landscape image of the show just after we had finished putting it up (hence all the tools and ladders and stuff). I stood in the middle with my little digital camera and turned around in a circle, snapping as I went. I'm no photographer so excuse the quality!
Well, it's been a long hard road but my degree is over, just an exhibition in London to go! I managed to get a 1.0, so that was a nice surprise, although I did work my bum off for three years. Thought I'd share some snaps of the show, taken by Will Scobie, with anyone who's interested. If you can get to the New Designers exhibition in London I'll also have some work there! Enjoy!
Just thought I'd upload a few snaps of the space I've been creating the recent pieces in. This documents the process I've been going through to get to the finished articles. As you can see I make a lot of mess. I feel a bit like a school kid cutting and pasting...Except I don't have to use safety scissors anymore.
My partner in creative crime, Owen Davey, has recently been preparing for an exhibition of his work in Falmouth. Some of the new things he's been doing included repeating patterns. His were rather fantastic and inspired me to embark upon a journey of pattern making myself. These are three I put together today which I'm pleased with and they'll soon be available in the guise of an A5 print and maybe even a badge set if you're lucky.
Thought I'd put up some snaps of a project I recently finished. I put a lot of thought into it and I'm proud of the finished article. Hopefully it'll set me apart from other applicants in the competitive world of design.
Hello, I'm Chris. I'm a graphic artist living and working in Brighton. I recently finished an honors degree in communication design with a 1.0 and I created this blog so I could display some of the work I've been doing, be it personal or money related! Anyway, I hope you enjoy perusing and if you want you can visit my website at www.chris-boyce.com. My contact details are also there if you want to get in touch with me!
