This thread is a place to show some old work from your archives. Please include only one project per post and provide as many of the following information points as well:
- The approximate date or year it was produced
- The client, the company you worked for, the position you held
- The purpose of the project
- The technical production method (software versions, other credits, etc)
- Any other anecdotal information that may be of interest regarding the project.Looking at old work is one thing, but knowing the story of how and why it happened makes it more interesting!
********************************...
Date: September 1992
My first ever piece of print after moving to London. Produced entirely in Adobe Illustrator 1 (or 3, can't remember) which had no layer capabilities and you had to switch to keyline view to work, then back to full preview mode, which slowly rendered a colour image, to see what you'd just done.
Consequently this took about two weeks to produce and consisted of about 10 seperate illustrator eps's which had to be overlayed at repro. I created the concept, did all the design and layout, illustrations and copywriting, and was really extremely chuffed with it at the time as I was still in my second year at college working freelance in my holidays. It featured perforations and genuine scratch off silver wax which had to be done at a special factory.
Print was by Garry Martin / Martin Colour Printers, Dublin. Product photography by Sandro Sodano.

Haha spooky, I was trying to find something to post but dancer got there before me. Anyway, all I could find at the mo, its the first identity I designed out of college. Its a modified Helvetica Condensed, all rounded n such and took ages to get the curves right. The name is Irish for 'Another Way', hence the arrow. First proper job I sent to print too!
- That's the spirit Ian. You and me mate, you and me, we'll show 'em. FTW! Nice logo. 'First ever' jobs are coolest.SkyPoo

Ok, another one. This was my first flash game, for a company I worked for ages ago sadly I haven't really haven't evolved too much from this, its a bit rudimentary but its all about early work so fuck it.
- HAHAHAHA, Ian, fucking brilliant and cruel too.SkyPoo
- I think I'm addicted.SkyPoo
- Originally I had a shotgun in thre but that was considered too cruel, so the snowball was a compromise.ian
- A snowball full of barbed wire I hope. No use going soft on these deer else they act like they're cock o' the place.SkyPoo
- thats cool ian! nice idea! do you still work with ebow?jimzyk

My First Annual Report.
May 1995. Euroclear, Brussels.
DMB&B Design. Senior designer / art director.Two part brochure. The shmoozy part presented on a nice coated white stock, the financial figures on a lovely off-white porous uncoated stock. Both held together by a belly band. The concept was "Items of Value" and the idea was to get Euroclear participants to nominate objects of immense value to them, with a little story about why they held high such high personal value.
Being old-money millionaires, I expected they'd put forward a dazzling display of priceless historic heirlooms. I've never seen such a pitiful lack of imagination. One bloke brought in a plastic-wrapped triangle sandwich and a story about how he gets the collywobbles if he doesn't eat regularly. He was quite tubby to be fair.
Set in Universe Expanded which I fucking loved to pieces at that time. and text in ITC garamond. Photography was by Phill Sills. Put together in Quark Xpress with medium format trannies supplied to repro to be stripped in pre-digitally.
- very tidy indeed Spooky.Dancer
- Hahaha, you feel obligated to comment after lol'ing at my last effort. It wont work. I have my pride you know. = )SkyPoo
- the paper has turned yellow its so oldtoe_knee
- Yeah it has. That detracts from the coated half of it, but ads a certain quality to the uncoated half.SkyPoo
- Still lol'ing at that.
I do like it thoughDancer - I hate you Dancer.
