Since first released on the Internet in December 2006, Blanket Magazine has uncovered hundreds of artists, designers and photographers from around the world. After 25 online issues, the first print edition was released in 2011. The Blanket print edition is a compendium of ideas, knowledge and experience pertaining to the creative process of art, design and photography. The content has been carefully considered and curated to include features, projects, profiles and, of course, beautiful art, design and photography. Designed to be a limited edition keepsake of just 500 copies every detail has been meticulously considered to accentuate the tangible quality of the magazine including a Pantone Metallic cover illustrated by Daren Newman, a hand-embossed logo and hand-numbering of each copy.
The printed edition included editorials on renowned designer Kris Sowersby from the Klim Foundry, poster designer Jason Munn (aka The Small Stakes), and commissioned artworks by illustrators Lizzy Stewart, Sarah McNeil and Paul X. Johnson. Each page was designed to showcase the artists work
This 24 page article was featured in Issue 21 of Blanket Magazine. The theme for the issue was ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ and the article included interviews from various designers, collage artists and street artists working with these materials. To separate each individual section and reinforce the tangible nature of their crafts a typeface was partly cut from paper and then re-photographed to create titles for each section.
A new website was designed for the relaunch of Blanket Magazine and the release of the print edition. The website was designed to compliment the print magazine and to showcase the previous 25 online issues of Blanket Magazine.
To form a retrospective of 56 artists, designers and photographers that had been uncovered in Blanket Magazine a collectors edition 'patchwork' poster was produced. Each individual poster came in its own sleeve that featured a unique origami fold and debossed type with a spot UV varnish.
This is part of an unfinished series that explores using different mediums and hand crafts such as photography, sewing, and computer generated spirographs and geometric patterns.
This project was a typographic study that visually interprets the phrase ‘Now You See It. Now You Don’t’. The phrase was sewn onto card stock using Metallic Copper cotton and Glow in the Dark thread. The result is that the phrase appears differently when viewed either during the day or at night.
This one-off photographic book was a collection of photographs taken over a three year period while traveling to different overseas destinations. The landscape images were edited and paired with a poem written by James Casey.
A selection of my photographs have been featured in Ammo Magazine and on Photography Served.
