Collections
Groups of styles gathered around a subject, a printing process or a mood. A good place to start when the brief is still vague.
Retro Advertising
Everything that was printed to sell something, from jet age airline spreads to grocery tins that have been on a shelf too long.
Album Cover Ideas
Square formats that have to work at the size of a thumbnail and the size of a wall. Airbrush, collage, noir and screen print.
Vintage Print
Styles defined by a printing process rather than a subject. Stone lithography, screen print, woodblock, blueprint and cheap offset.
Toy Packaging
Cardboard built to shout across an aisle. Airbrushed hero art, blister cards, set number badges and corner wear.
Editorial Photography
People and objects photographed for a page. Available light portraits, controlled still life and one deliberately strange idea.
Children's Illustration
Warm, gentle and handmade. Watercolour spreads, plasticine characters and cartoons painted in a hurry but with real care.
Game Art
Four generations of constraint. Sprite grids, wobbling polygons, flat shaded dioramas and the magazines that covered them.
Product Photography
One object, lit on purpose. Advertising still life, immaculate retail packaging and tins that have earned their scratches.
Analogue Photography
Film that remembers being film. Direct flash, milky shadows, grain, light leaks and a date stamp in the corner.
The Drafting Table
Lines made to be built from. Working sketches, blueprints, exploded views and cities small enough to hold.
