DJ Bob Hoskins Going Mental In A Dustbin

Just thought I'd share a few things with ye faithful on here, first up is the video for DVNO by Justice - since we're currently doing a spot of the ol' Typographic study, I figured this would be relevant as some of the text effects in this are amazing, and might influence anyone else who decides to watch, besides - it's a choooooon.

Next up is just some of the work I did at my previous college [Kensington & Chelsea College], again since we're studying type I figured I'd throw something in that's well, semi-related at least. We had a brief which was basically to come up with promotional material and album artwork for Stanton Warriors [http://www.stantonwarriors.com/], a semi-famous breakbeat DJ duo, anyway yeah I decided to do away with type and letterform for the majority of this project and instead rip off Peter Saville and whoever did that coldplay X&Y album by using a colour-coded alphabet.

Yep, confused more than my fair share of people with that. I didn't want to go down the obvious route of the stereotypical DJ-related imagery, headphones, turntables, etc. but I do admit that my idea was totally over the top and too complex to actually expect to work outside of our classroom. Still, the beauty was it was in our classroom.



If you look at my alphabet then look at the CD cover I designed [below] you should be able to tell that the coloured bars aren't just there for no reason, they spell out 'stanton warriors' in my alphabet.
