It’s the second time I have been treated to a little bit of space in Design Week recently. This time for a project I have been working on at Cog for clients The Cogency and CreateKX. I will be able to show more of the project closer to the launch date on 22 April, but for now this is what featured in Design Week.

A little while ago I wrote about a project I worked on at Cog to redesign the Arts Catalyst website. It was nice to see that it wasn’t just the client that liked the result as it got a nice little mention in Design Week…and on their website.

I’ve been reading a few Cormac McCarthy novels recently, re-released with new covers in 2010 designed by the very talented David Pearson. A great use of typography. I strongly recommend reading any you can get your hands on and I strongly recommend visiting the site of David Pearson.

So, another little project I have been working on at Cog went live over the festive break. This time in the form of a website for The Arts Catalyst, who commission contemporary art that experimentally and critically engages with science. I must add that I merely designed the site and the very technically knowledgeable web team at Cog built the beast.
It was important that the design was a good representation of what they do, mixing art and science, so what better excuse than to build a site based around the rule of thirds – unfortunately, those pesky pixels wouldn’t allow me to be as accurate as the golden section. The end result is clean and contemporary.

If you have read my ‘about‘ page you will know I am lucky enough to work for a great design studio called Cog Design. This was a project I worked on recently at Cog, for the London Museums Hub, to showcase a survey they commissioned to gather information on museum visitor habits. This was a two colour job that was printed on an uncoated stock.

Some time ago I entered a competition for Shelter House of Cards to design the 8 of clubs for a limited edition pack of cards. Shelter is a great charity and the winner got to exhibit alongside some great names from the art world. Unfortunately I didn’t win, but I did pick up a fair few votes – which is nice.
