Book Jacket Inspiration

Hello.

Im quite enjoying this book jacket design project i'm currently doing. Not that i've done allot of work on paper, but I have looked at a fair few covers, here's a couple of sites that i have found useful!

Ho Ho...HO NO!

I found these old videos on my hard drive the other day. Seemed fitting seeing its the festive season and all that. They are from a couple years ago.

I don't really do stencils, but i felt the urge to try it out at the time. I was working in shop at the time that played christmas music non stop and made me wear christmas hats...so i was sick of it. This was a reaction to that i think.

It was inspired by a skater/designer i like called Fos. He owns Heroin Skateboards and Landscape Skateboards does nearly all the graphics. He is also the art director of american clothing company Altamont. You should definitely have a wee look at Altamont and Heroin Skateboards, some really interesting products and graphics.

These videos are the only remaining evidence of that stencil ever existing! Can't tell you why that is though!

Super Phun Thyme

Unorganised parties are always fun. One ended up happening at my house on saturday so i decided to set up the time lapse feature on my mac. The results were good, and can be seen in the video i've posted above! Please note: The last few secs of this video are worth the wait, for those people who are watchin that either don't know the people in the video or are bored watchin the start.

I'll post some of the "interesting" photos up here soon too.

Pretty Awesome...

Hi everyone. It's funny the things I come across when I'm just looking at skateboarding on the internet. Today I came across this guy Dallas Clayton. His website was linked from a skateboarding website.

He made a book, called "An Awesome Book." And I think its is awesome also.
Also, if you fancy, go to his homepage and have a wee read of the poem he wrote about skateboarding. Its pretty spot on. And it won't take you that long.

Bring me some dry weather please.

Ta!
