I was invited by Nitzan at editbyedit.co.uk to submit a WordPress Theme to the Vertical Rhythm project.
A project to link the aesthetic and discipline of modernist poster designs to the world of digital and dynamic grids, manifested by a series of WordPress themes, adapted from typographical posters.
My theme “1967″ is based on the Swiss Modernist poster “Juni Festwochen Zurich – 1967″ by Josef Müller–Brockmann.
Müller–Brockmann’s work has always been an inspiration, so when invited to produce a theme based on a 60′s Swiss poster Müller–Brockmann immediately sprang to mind.
The aim of the theme was to replicate the vintage print feel of the poster using HTML & CSS aiming to emphasis the gap between print and screen.
The biggest challenge was to reproduce the blue diagonal line, and retain the print overlay feel. This was achieved using the Absolute positioning and z-index CSS property. In keeping with the minimal theme the template is designed to dynamically display the latest 3 posts from wordpress.
Preview and download the theme:

A simplistic website for Magic Wire Recordings debut release:
Lone – Pineapple Crush / Angel Brain
The main focus of the site is on the artwork and audio. Two tracks of compressed, 4×4 funk driven by crushed, hip-house drums, old school synth swells and Reese-esque bass rumbles.
The audio is presented using a JQuery media player, allowing the audio to play on mobile devices such as iPad and iPhone.

Memories is a collaboration project launched summer 2009 between myself, Stuart Boyd (Subism), Rishi Soda (DAHRA) & Garrick Webster (Freelance Journalist).
Memories will look at the thoughts and experiences of individuals who have survived cancer, as well as those of people who have lost loved ones. There will be ten stories inside, each looking at one person’s recollection of a particular day in the struggle against cancer. For each of these ‘memories’ a dozen leading artists, illustrators and designers will be creating their own visual response. Two further stories will go ‘open brief’ and we’ll be inviting creatives worldwide to make their own images to accompany the text. The best submissions will go into the book.
That makes for 12 touching stories, and 144 smashing pieces of artwork
We expect it will take a year to complete, culminating in the launch of Memories and an exhibition.
