Just came across some awesome blackboard typography/design by Dana Tanamachi. Anyone who’s ever tried doing anything remotely creative can attest to the challenge of writing on vertical surfaces as apposed to conventional illustration and design which makes this all the more awesome. It’s one thing to crank this out on a computer, its something else..
Made this as part of a playlist I put together for my Dad this last Christmas. The cover was just something I put together using Faith’s photography from a shoot she did in the New Forest with my friend Chris and his band. I’m trying to experiment more with type and print more these days..

I’m hoping this will become something of a..
What follows is the introduction to my 2009 final year dissertation. Over the coming weeks I’ll be putting online edited chapters of it and where I have the energy making it more accessible for reading online.
