Seen and Heard

I worked with the fantastic Futurelab a couple of months ago, creating the artwork to publicise their annual conference. The image was used on mail-outs and banners and focused on the theme of young people creating and working with digital media, from making podcasts to film studies and lots more.


This project was a fresh challenge for me as I usually work with a lot of texture and muted colours - however, the image was to be reproduced as a two-colour print and needed to incorporate the Futurelab brand colours. Therefore, I came up with a way of translating my usual working methods but achieving a much cleaner look as a result. I also overlapped the two colours to create the third purple-brown hue.

I was really happy with the way the image printed, as it's quite unusual for me to see the paper stock acting as "texture"! This scan doesn't do justice to the final result but allows you to see the final image in context. You can see both images larger by clicking on them.
