Bar Open approached me to do a whole heap of poster and branding designs for them. Rather time consuming but I’m really happy with the result and the client was really easy to work with and very open minded. I put together this as the full page advert template, aswell as designing the logotypes and brandings for DORCIA, BEATMASH, BARCODE and REPRAZENT. Yes the Reprazent design is a throw to Sneaker Freaker magazine.

Good friends and long time clients BREAK EVEN stopped in just before heading off on the Ruiner national tour to get some (last minute) merch done. We also threw together a pretty sweet tour poster for the WA November tour too. Good times.

P.s You can probably scroll down and see that the Bear design was initially rejected by Mammal. Sometimes you have to be thick skinned with rejection jobs, most of the time the design doesnt fit the client, its not so much that it just isnt good. Either way, Break Even will sell a truck load of this and Mammal now won’t…

New marketing designs I have recently completed for The Wembley. I have been playing with a bunch of lighting effects and a few text formats for the venue which are working nicely.

Been doing quite a few tees this month. Some of these are out at the moment, one or two were rejected, but this isn’t about what you like, its about what I like. Thats why its my blog.

Recent apparel designs for Australian hardcore band Vengeance.

The atrocities of October 12 2002 in Bali effected so many people worldwide. More than one client of ours was present in Bali that day and the effects of the memories of the Bali Bombings live with many of us every day. I was recently approached by Rebecca Haezbroek and Phil Brittan, who are involved heavily in various charities and awareness incentives related to the terrorist attacks. I was asked to put together some branding for the Bali Peace Park, which will be situated at the location where the Sari Club once stood. Above is the final product as donated by thinktank design to a cause that we not only heavily support but also hold those involved in the association in the highest of regard and respect.

I have had to hold off on posting these because the range wasn’t yet released. These are all the final designs that are now available in stores internationally. This range was one of the best experiences I have had in design, purely for the creative freedom and sheer size of the range. Check out www.haidace.com to see the stockists etc.

So I decided to put some of my work into the Desktop Creative Design awards, Iv never done anything like it before so i sort of just threw 6 of my pieces at them and I have been shortlisted in the finals for 5 of them.
