Other Projects
GETREALPAID
Drawing on a range of interests and inspirations, GETREALPAID is an exploration of colour and pattern. The output is largely digital and vector-based; therefore, it utilises the relevant desktop publishing tools; however, the work has expanded to include traditional print processes and Risograph printers.You can explore the archive here, and recent work here.
Found Type Archive
Between 2007 and 2009, I studied for an MA in Design at the London College of Communication. In my last year of study, I developed an interest in vernacular typography and spent several months documenting Bournemouth (the city I lived in at the time), and the connected areas of Christchurch and Poole. Slowly, I am adding my visual research to this Instagram account.
