When creating a festival logo in the past i researched into i.d magazine i found it really influenced me , especially the Vivienne Westwood punk addition i love the use of imagery and text they use throughout the magazines.




Deep Vintage is a clothing store they have one in york and one in middlesbrough i love the use of bold text and wall art they have in the shops.





I found this piece a while ago on the grain edit website by 'made by sawdust' i love the strokes over the letters and although the piece is just black and grey its still visually interesting. I love to use lines and thick geometric shapes in my work.

I have loved mark weavers work since i ever became interested in graphic design his work is amazing , i love the use of shapes and imagery combined and the grids he creates.
