So I have been posting photos I have taken as a feature on my homepage for a while now. I initially wanted to post one a month but you know how life gets in the way of grand ideas! Well I now have a new idea for this area of my website and will most likely be phasing out the photos in their current form. So here is a selection of some of the images that my homepage has been graced with.

I have just finished my first ever iPhone application. I created the artwork and content for the brand new app, with development by Dan Woolley. It is simply called ‘Paddy’ – How Irish are you?

It’s a funny, quirky quiz app for St.Patrick’s Day which is tomorrow! (17th March). It is the best app for the day and helps you find out how Irish you are… providing you with interesting results with great graphics and illustrations. I hope you enjoy it.

Please download it from the Apple iTunes App Store here. It only costs 59p and we would love if you could leave feedback for us which will be so important for the next app we create!

It has been a great process learning all there is to know about apps. Thanks to Dan for his amazing hard work.

I’ll be releasing the sketches of the characters some time after Paddy’s Day.

Watch this space!

Here is the full blurb about the app:

Well I’ve definitely been out of the blogsphere recently. Out of pure guilt, I have added this post. (the last one was in October!!) As the legendary Dylan once said ‘The Times they are a-changing’. Yep in the past 4 months since my last post I have been to Romania, Australia, Dubai, London and home. Felt 40 degrees on my neck and -8 degrees in my bones (not at the same time, clearly).

I am now running a business, I have completed a music video, worked on some branding projects and produced some lovely motion graphics. So I’ve been busy… too busy to blog. To be honest, last years success story for me was Twitter. So any fun, exciting, amazing things I found or saw have been micro-blogged.

Why don’t you start following me and maybe soon I’ll come back to the blog? As always, stop by my site for more graphic design and illustration bits.

Adam.

Just back from a few days in Siria, Arad and Timisoara in Romania, Eastern Europe. It was a brilliant time catching up with some friends and meeting some new people.

I have worked on a documentary about a charity working out there with street children and the poor. It will relesased in November and I will be posting more photos on the blog and Flickr account when I get some time.

Well I’ve been in hiding for the past 3 weeks or more…

I have been working really hard on my first full feature StopMotion animation. It is for a music video for Doug Walker.

The animation tells the timeless story of a girl and a boy in love. The song is brilliant, you’ll have to wait to hear it…

It has been amazing fun doing it and working with Doug. What a talented guy.

The animation was produced from hundreds of drawings, hundreds of shapes cut from paper and lots and lots of time. It was a great project to work on and the full video will be released in the near future. I’ll keep you informed.

David Airey has asked me to contribute some designs and content for his new book ‘Logo Design Love- a guide to creating iconic brand identites’. I can’t wait for it to come out, I have a huge amount of respect for this designer and love how he uses the internet as a tool to showcase his work, but also to be a voice in the design community. I would say he is an expert in identity design. It is brilliant to be included in such a great list of contributors. You can read some great articles in David’s blog, Logo Design Love and can preorder the book on Amazon.

I have been featured in the ‘100 Brands of Interest‘ for this year. Check out the list. Some brilliant designers logos there.

I get heaps of emails asking can I do a letter ‘G’, or ‘S’ or whatever you initial is. So in January 2010 (only 3 months away) I will be launching

a complete A-Z of this custom tattoo script. You will be able to request the letter you want and pay a small price through Paypal.

Please drop a few comments if you think you would be interested and I’ll email you the details in due course.

Respect.

Sigh of relief. I’m back to the blog! I’ve been away from the blog for a month to the day, so here’s my excuse. I have had the most crazy month of my working life! In between setting up a company, setting up a studio and tidying my new pencilcase… I have been busy designing- flat out.

In the past 3 weeks I have finished the full branding for frut smoothies, done the graphics for an awareness film for hope for justice, done some custom screenprints and album artwork for ‘Starling’ and am now working on a music video for Doug Walker.

So, all that to say… the blog is lacking a bit of attention. For a start, it all turned blue for a while! Not good! So I will be working to get the content and look spot on.

Stay tuned.. and to find out what I had for breakfast,  Follow me on Twitter too.

Here it is: The brand of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The brand is ‘recognised internationally as a world authority in art and design.’ It is also my favourite Museum in the world!! So far…

I have been doing a lot of branding work recently for clients. Today is my last day of the 9-5 workday… in my life, ever. I am moving on from my current role as a graphic designer/motion graphics designer

in a company to setting up my own! I will be setting up freelance for a while with a lot of different exciting projects on the line! Including setting up a design collective, working on some music videos,

motion graphics for a few events and having some of my logo designs featured in a book.

Good Times ahead.
