Last week I was walking along the pavement and I noticed that there was an interesting pattern in the way the tiles had been placed. Taking a photo I used this image as reference to create some pattern illustrations.

using the tube lines as a guide, I created the patterns. I created patterns using the structure of the tube map, for instance the northern and central lines connect. As do the circle and district and hammersmith and circle.

FLAG OF USA PLAY

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

VErsion 01.

Until 1912, there was no set design for the Stars and Stripes. This resulted in flag designs reflecting political affairs or social comment.
Taking this as inspiration I set to design 50 USA flags.

When I was at the Emerge exhibtion I came across work by Jamie Reid, who created “mashed-up” data file images. Taking this as inspiration, I took a Jpeg of one of my letterpress scans and open it in a text editer I then replaced the õ to a letter F, using the cmd F function.

This was the result
