CD jacket design
for a New Zealand contemporary folk musician. Kath wanted some reference to the Munch's painting, "The Scream", and you can see references to this in the figure and the sky. Other imagery comes from her lyrics such as a washing line (of memories), a river (of life), references to the rain, water, spirit and bones.
Tongue-in-cheek humour and sharp commentary dominate her songs, so I aimed for this, as well as mixing in some Maori-like references, such as the step-stairway tukutuku design (a symbol for self-development).
Music CD design
A3 page design
For a design book made by students in interactive design at the Ghent University.
I was invited to submit a page of my own art work for a double A4 layout. I used the text "God zij dank" (thank God) in the middle in response to the name of the publication: 'Godverdamme' (God be damned). Texts next to the images are the titles, medium and year of each work.

Bookmarker Designs
The bookmarker on the far left is my own promotional bookmarker showing my family, for personal use.
The other bookmarker was designed for the Kath Tait, a musician. It shows the covers of her 3 cds on one side and her website address on the other.
Each is 10 x 19 cm and plastified for durability.
Story illustration
A short story about a cat and a mouse having a party written for 6 year olds.
It was made for the Dutch television programme website: huisje boomje beestje
as part of a game, where once all images are matched, the player can print this out, colour it in and cut it out to make their own story book.

Styling for a website portal called "Bookworm"
One side is an image for a future website for younger children and the left is an animation where books open if you roll your mouse over them, revealing a particular television programme.
Every few seconds a worm passes through, unbalancing the books.
The assignment was for a playful design as an alternative to the idea that reading was a passive activity. View the animation in a new window.
