Revolver

Exhibition Graphics
Six Photographers, six shows in one
exhibition - Revolver is an exhibition
concept that operates in a state of flux.
A cost effective graphic system was
required to communicate the rolling
nature of the show as well as give equal
weight to each contributer. Displaying
each name in a hexagonal formation
they're treated equally, while also
creating a complete path which can be
rotated through each exhibiting state.
A red rule is then used to define the
shape, but also functions - by deleting
the names not relevant at that time.

Identity system
Rough fiction theatre group required a
visual identity that was both highly
flexible and economical. The solution
was to create a set of rubber stamps.
Endlessly reproducible onto any item,
the stamp conveys a sense of indivi-
duality and exclusivity whilst removing
the requirement for expensive print
production. It also acts as a metaphor
for the companies working method -
re-interpreting traditional play texts and
putting their own unique ‘stamp’ on
them.

The distinctive marque is an abstract
representation of the pages in a story
book meeting at the spine. The graphic
strength of the marque then allows for
differing levels of expression throughout
the materials. The project culminated in
the production of a brand guideline
sheet which acts as a point of reference
for the company and as a statement
of intent for potential clients.

of industrial sized metal boxes. Through
the process of documenting them
photographically, he deceptively leads
the viewer into believing they have real
worth. In reality the objects are of
course completely worthless.
The identity is built from a set of unique
reference codes that are devised from
each item. Taking a utilitarian approach
graphically, the viewer is forced into
believing that the codes are greatly
important to the images. Like the
images they reference, they too are completely pointless.

Smutlane's visual identity therefore
purposfully nods at other jewellery

typeface used is Tiffany & Co's typeface
but with removed serifs). The elegance
of the logo too is offset with filthy icon-

Moving was an innovative event that
took the groups photography to 3

graphics came from using the absurdity
of the event listing as a design element.
'13 photographers, over 3 days, at 3
different sites, in a 40 tonne truck...' felt
engaging enough as a sentence, that
know other imagery was neccesary. The
