A spectators eye view of the Men's Olympic cycling road race as Bradley Wiggins and Team GB lead the Peloton up Strawbell slope, The slope is part of the National Trusts Zig Zag road at Box Hill in Surrey. My short film shows only a small section of the whole course which started and finished on the mall in the centre of London, The cyclists completing 9 laps of the Box Hill course as part of the bigger race. Keep a look out for Richard Long's art work 'The Road River' painted onto the road beneath the cyclists.

My view of the spectacular fireworks that signalled the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Filmed from just outside the Olympic park the stadium is dwarfed by Anish Kapoor`s Orbit tower. During the final moments of slumdog millionaire director Danny Boyle`s 'Isles of Wonder' Opening ceremony the tower signalled the start of the games with a ring of fireworks from its roof this was closely followed by a spectacular display from the atop of the stadium itself which answered with a show of colour, movement and a barrage of loud bangs and noise as it illuminated the East London sky.

The Eiffel Tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, who designed and built the tower. The tower was Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair and has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. My video filmed in the early morning shows the tower from various angles and demonstrates how the tower dominates the Parisian skyline so spectacularly, It also almost seems to glow against the blue sky in the morning sun.

The roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is notoriously difficult (for those not used to it) to navigate. The roundabout has no lanes and as such gives the impression of Chaos !. My film (filmed from the passenger seat whilst my Dad did the driving) gives a front seat view of the madness as we enter and exit the roundabout .

Designed for a charity fundraising event at Belvior Lodge this poster is primarily typeface lead with an Art Deco style header and a sans serif typeface for the additional information to giving it a formal but playful style. The text is crowned by sketched flowers (as one may see above an entry gate to an open garden) and features various small birds perched amoungst the foliage, a mother and child bird can be seen on the bottom left alongside the words accompanied children free. The poster uses a justified layout for the text allowing for lots of information to be presented in a clear and easily read form and highlighting the main points.

A Poster designed by me for Rileys Sandwich bar to promote an event celebrating 5 years of business. The event raised funds for local charity Menphys and features a giant club sandwich with various fillings in a block printed style with the Riley's logo attached to a skewer at the top of the stack. The Teen typeface is used to give a clear but fun style and the footer is consistent with other posters for Menphys events. 

A poster designed for a curry evening at the cuisine of India restaurant in aid of Leicester charity Menphys and inspired by Bollywood movie posters, my design uses a colour palette of deep purples and oranges closely associated with Asian culture. The typeface used is embellished with decorative scrolls echoing the patterns used in sari materials. The Poster also features a series of petal shapes forming a border above and below the main section of the poster which are then also used to form a flower pattern behind the text.

Filmed at various points along the banks of the River Thames in London, this short film explores peoples patterns of movement and their interactions with the structures around them Featuring a number of well known landmarks such as the Millennium Bridge, St Pauls Cathedral and Tower Bridge (complete with Olympic rings), The piece attempts to capture a portrait of the area during one day (30.06.2012) as the capital prepares to host the Olympic games in 2012. Keep a look out for art works Hymn by Damien Hurst and Kurt Perschke's Red Ball Project.
