Billboards are generally used for advertising, or for passing on political messages. The location of billboards are chosen because of their high visibility and volume of viewers. The idea of these boards is to motivate people to achieve. As traditional printed boards, maybe for one day a month they could show one of these inspiring messages. For digital advertising boards, maybe for five minutes every hour they could show one of these messages instead?Art Direction, Graphic Design, Typography2012 -

This book is a continuation of my study into the visual impact of a symmetrical image.
The original images used for these artworks are photographs of light blurs, weathered paint, street lighting, industrial signs and equipment. They are everyday parts of the urban environment. When the symmetrical artwork is created by tiling the image, strange and beautiful compositions emerge from the textures and colours.Digital Art, Digital Imaging, Digital Photography2012 -

During my time working for the volunteer organisation WF Iceland (Worldwide Friends Iceland), I was involved in fund raising activities. This included designing t-shirts to be sold in the shop. The designs were based on Icelandic runes that had meanings such as good health, good luck, healing and protection. These graphics were then printed on t-shirts to be sold in the shop. I was even involved with painting the interior and exterior of the shop! The t-shirts proved to be very popular with the local community and tourists, and provided a valuable income to the volunteer organisation.Graphic Design, Illustration2010 -
Hydros promote awareness of global environmental issues. On a recent trip to Iceland, we saw the real impact of global warming on the glaciers.

Visual artists are often inspired and influenced by accidents and experiments - a piece of corroding material
could be the inspiration for a new design or piece of art. The images contained within this book are the results of corrosion, defacing, or error. The resultant images are light blurs, corroding materials, layers and collages that are new forms of ‘accidental art.’
For the layout of this book, the images are arranged on the page at angles, to represent the randomness in the
creation of the original images.

Symmetry brings to mind many things - perfection, balance, equality, order, authority, and uniformity. The artworks included in this book use abstracts from photos of architectural constructions. Some of them use the smallest detail which is scaled up to produce dramatic results, whilst other images use larger details of buildings which are then reduced in scale for the final artwork.
This book of symmetrical photographic images is available to preview and buy from Blurb using this link: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2515691.Digital Photography, Digital Art, Digital Imaging2011 -

This artwork is a comment on the use of style over substance in the visual arts - in particular the current obsession with using 3D imagery in many mainstream movies. Style can be extremely effective when used appropriately, but it can often be used as a gimmick.Digital Art, Digital Photography, Photo Manipulation2011 -
