Newlock.ie is a local home security and lock upgrade company who needed a logo and branding programme. They wanted something simple that said what it did on the tin. As the vans are to be be their main point of contact with the public they need to stand out – so I covered them with bright orange key silhouettes.
I recently completed a small branding and website design programme for www.ipadhire.ie – a Dublin based company that hires iPads to visitors from overseas.
Another event organised by Marc Jones was the Planet X Anti Jubilee Punk Special celebrating 25 years of Planet X. I think this is a good look for HRH, Charlie Manson eyes, a bit of crypt paint… A2 print again, silver and gold ink on black card. Hand numbered and signed edition of 60 posters. Really enjoyed making this poster too, made me revert to good old cut and paste for a change.
Marc Jones from Liverpool’s Medication got in touch last month about designing and printing a run of posters celebrating their winning of the national Smirnoff Battle of the Clubs contest which culminated in a big end of term finale on Friday 1st of June.

Here’s the result, A2 print, silver and black ink on cherry red card, hand numbered and signed edition of 60 copies.
