His self-promotional stuff is blowing my mind! The use of anatomical diagrams is so cool.

FPO - Corporation Pop Business Card

Check out For Print Only to see the thiskest business cards ever! I love how the plastic is full of flaws and little bits and pieces. Less of a business card and more of a business block.

I loooove that orange.

Irish Museum of Modern Art - Project

This was a little project I set up for myself one day when I had nothing better to do. I was browsing the IMMA website and the whole design struck me as being very un-modern. I decided then to make a new logo for the museum, and maybe try to make a quick site redesign while I was at it.

This is the old logo, the first one taken from the header of the site. I played around with the eye image, trying to make it more interesting but I really wasn't feeling it. Because I was technically the client on this one, I wrote it out of the brief :P

I decided to just use the letters "IMMA". For a bit more interest I added a wavy line to some of the applications. When I made the line, I got a little excited thinking about it being used in motion graphics. For me, it brought the whole thing together.

As for the colours, I went with green and pink. The green representing Irish-ness, the pink was from the websites favicon - which is a pink feather.

Eyes, fingerprints, feathers!? You see now why I felt they needed a redesign :P

For the logo I was largely inspired by the simplicity of the MoMA NY and San Fransisco. They were two logos I always liked.

I spent a lot of time designing the logo and a few applications, and a little less effort on the site. I realize the design may be a little restricting of the content but I feel the design is an improvment on the sites current layout. I just think theres too much there at the moment. Theres four different menus on the homepage, I tried to trim it down to two (the footer menu isn't in the above image).

My favourite part is the business card, I'm really happy with how it turned out. If it were printed I'd probably want some gloss details on the logo on the back of the card.

Let me know what you think!! Better or worse?

When I was going through ideas for my portfolio, something like the above magazine concept went through my head.

Sam Frith - Portfolio

Some really fantastic stuff from an Austrailian based designer. Check out his CAC Signage work, really beautiful. It seems like every portfolio that really catches my eye these days is coming out of Austraila. If you're into Austrailian design scene as much as I am check out The Grafik Museum, a Blog showcasing the best of Austrailian design.

Studio on Fire and Bungie - Identity

Studio on Fire (letterpress pornographers) and Bungie (bringers of Halo) have worked together to make a refreshed logo and identity. It's not a huge change (the logos not amazing either) but those letterpress cards - om nom nom nom!!!

I love the repeating sword pattern on the back.
