Nike VCXC
Nov 8th 2011, 13:24
I collaborated with Nike a few months ago to design an identity for their amazing pop-up energy space in New York. The space is right opposite Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx, famed for it's gruelling cross country running circuit. VCXC is a meeting space at local runners and for organised race meets, as well as providing running gear, custom made t-shirts and interactive maps.
For me it was a great chance to design a crest which was much looser than other more formal shields and heraldry I've created for past projects (see my Shakespeare's Globe heraldry). I'll post a few images of the development for this logo soon...See the Bernstein + Andriulli post here

Absolut SF
Sep 12th 2011, 16:10
Earlier this year I worked as a typography consultant for Absolut Vodka on their new San Francisco themed product. I picked out a set of typefaces to match various SF neighbourhoods which were then used on various sized posters for an ad campaign. (I also designed one or two myself).
In addition to the consultancy, I was commissioned to design and make 2 bespoke hand-drawn typefaces to be used throughout the campaign.
Trans-Siberian Adventure
Jul 27th 2011, 14:11
In May this year I travelled the long way round to Beijing with my girlfriend Sarah.
Our month-long adventure took us to across Europe to Estonia and Finland, then onto an epic train journey on the Trans-Siberian Express across Russia. We made stops along the way and saw some amazing sights, before hopping back on the train to Mongolia and then on towards China.
We made so many friends along the way, and if anyone of you are reading this then thanks very much for helping make out trip such an incredible one!
