Junction44 worked with Free Film Festivals for over 5 years on their brand identity, their brand experience; generating all print and digital collateral. The identity and colour palette was designed to speak to a younger contemporary audience, as was the digital promotional which had an immediacy and art school feel.
Camberwell Free Film festivals doubled their revenue in the second year of operation and continued to build a very successful corner of the London film festival scene.
Album cover artwork for the psych rock band Column258. The design was assembled from scraps of torn up print outs of Helvetica numerals.
The random abstract shapes mirror the band’s abstract improvised music. The band said the torn abstract shapes could be Column258 cut up—more a happy accident, than intentional.

Close to the main carfax in Birmingham’s upcoming jewellery quarter with designer pop-ups and artisan cafes, 1000 Trades is the thriving go-to neighbourhood bar.
The signage was all hand-painted or acid-etched on glass in the bold black and white brand identity palette, with a strong modern typeface set on a foursquare ground.
1000 Trades logotype has been fine tuned to work at extremes of scale with no loss of design integrity, and for exterior: clear low-light visibility.

Realismo is Italian for a philospophy that is based on pragmatism and facing the true nature of situations. The first computer hard-drive was invented in 1956—whether this is the start or the end of rational thought, it marks the first major disruption to all things analogue, especially in field of type design.

Independent film events’ company based on the South Coast required a strong visual identity. The logotype idea sprung from the way film travels around a projector while the film is running.
During the pilot launch of the project the interactive ‘cinema experience’ company sold out all events, and by the final screening had to increase venue capacity to match demand.

Brainchild of south coast composer Polo Piatti, Opus Theatre was set up in a disused gothic revivalist church to celebrate all forms of live and original music from Jazz, Pop, Indie Rock, Folk and Classical … A brand identity was sought that was open and friendly and would leave a strong impression both in small scale print and large scale exterior signage. The flourishes that crest the wordmark are taken from manuscript music notation.
Hastings’ Fringe was launched by Heather Alexander of Hot Gossip, as an alternative theatre and performance platform in 2017. It required a bold, off-kilter look to establish itself among the multitude of South East arts and performance festivals.
A collaboration with photographer James Robertshaw and installed across 44 windows at Hastings station; 22 Separations combines abstract seascape images with meditative texts, jottings of overheard conversations whilst journeying the Hastings to Charing X line. High-end commercial advertising values were employed to jolt the viewer into another world less ordinary.
Being adhered to glass, the images were backlit and mood-modified by the natural light changes over the course of a day and a night.
The original idea was that you would be walking through an ‘aquarium’, so the walkway was blacked out with the posters, themselves acting as viewing ports to interior dialogues and everyday whispers twisted, amplifed …

The Guardian called Herbert’s jazz contralto voice one that ‘vibrated over the lyrics in a way that makes your toes curl’. Letters I Haven’t Written was a private confession album that required a design that spoke of emptiness, heartbreak and the blankness which comes with the loss of losing somebody close. Inside, an on-disc aeroplane image—a symbol of escape locks in with the inlay graphic.

This book is a collaboration between writer/designer Ross Clifford and Frankfurt photographer Jorg Steinmetz. It’s an offbeat dialog Between words and visuals, with a foreword by bestselling crime writer Peter James, and chronicles 52 wks of e-conversation between the artists. The methodology was similar to ‘call and response’ in Jazz music where in this case the starting photograph triggered a text response, that in turn triggered the next visual and so on x52.

Ross Andrews-Clifford’s experimental 10-piece band, here playing live with the Camo Quartet from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama on stage at GROW Hackney.
The piece is based on the LaMonte Young improvisation 1960 #7. Young’s Composition 1960 pieces, provide one of the basic foundations for the idea to serve as the artwork by itself, with no unnecessary embellishment. Central to Young’s work is the concept of “stasis,” as opposed to “Fluxus.” “Change or flux is inevitable,” Young wrote. “Stasis, or remaining the same, is impossible.”
The musicans play B and F# in various transpositions and build a harmonic overtoning effect akin to a meditative state.
