Website for Groove Effect, a San Fran based culture e-zine and blog.
Taking on board Groove Effects request to break out of the traditional mould of the blog “Look and Feel”, I created a site that took a more pushed and fresh approach, whilst retaining the navigational ease of a typical blog structure.
A bold colour palette was adopted and large image areas were created to accommodate GE’s love for photography.

2007 saw the fiftieth anniversary of Helvetica.
Blanka and Candy invited 50 leading Designers and Graphic Artists to produce 50 images. The Exhibition launched in London at the Design Museum in July, produced in association with Veer, Epson, GF Smith, Image Now and Build.
The final piece pays homage to both Milton’s “I (Heart) New York” logo and the completion of the Twin Towers in New York.

The Concept
— |
| Since the “Towers” were located at the heart of NY, I focussed my attention on the word “Heart” in the slogan. The two sticks from the “H” were removed and scaled up, thus making a feature of them and symbolising the “Twin Towers” element. I settled on a version where the slogan was positioned between the two sticks, which when read from a distance, portrayed the shape of the letter “H”. Although it was pretty obvious what the letter should be at the beginning of “eart”, this presented an even stronger visual clue to the missing letter, but also just as importantly made a graphic gesture to the “H” in Helvetica; the font we were celebrating.
Two faint grey bars were added in the space where the black bars had been removed. This was carried out as a secondary tribute to Miltons later logo, which was reissued after 9/11. In his recent version a smudge had been added to the lower section of the heart, to symbolise the tragic events of 2001 and its effect on the community; In essence, a part of the heart had been marked, but not permanently destroyed. The grey bars in my piece were added to mirror this same sentiment, whilst providing a visual representation of the part of NY that had been lost, “The Two Towers”.
