What If? Comics. The 'in-situ' comic app.

This may sound complicated but it's really not. 'What If Comics' is a comic hunting app based on good and evil. The app consists of an ever growing database of mini comics created by us and the readers, but the cool thing about it is that its integrated to where you are.

The comics topic is relevant to your surroundings, hence 'in-situ'. For example if you find yourself browsing through the shops on the high street, you notice someone shoplifting or you find the eurge to do the same thing yourself each comic has a good and bad storyline depending where you are or which one you decide to choose to find. 

Each comic is located on the map function and at the location is a poster or sticker presenting a QR code for you to unlock the mini read. The whole feel of the comic hunt determines your moral choices, so its a lot deeper than entertainment, its telling you about yourself as a person too but in a light hearted way through the karma and stats section of the app.

The app has many cool features and functions to make it a fun app to grow into and be apart of a new creative concept.

First Impressions - Wygston's House

Wygston's House


Wygston's House is one of Leicester's most treasured buildings and a staple for it's history and heritage. This wonderful piece of architecture is to be transformed into a family bar and fine dining restaurant in the heart of the city centre. I was lucky enough to be asked to come up with an idea of what the interior may look like as bar and restaurant. The deadline was less than 3 days from when i was asked to take on the project, but i'm not one to shy away from a challenge.

Here are the illustrations for the Wygston project.

What's a Squeal Deal??

YCN Orchard Pig's 'Squeal Deal' ! 


There's alot of stuff out there that promotes 'craft beer' an ALOT! of unnecessary merchandise that's shoved down the consumer's throats about how the craft revolution is the biggest thing to happen to the modern drinker, well its not all that.

Drink and food go hand in hand, the craft beer we see today is often paired with a type of dish or food that compliments one another, and I find it very complex and too fussy for what is at the end of the day.... beer.

Introducing Orchard Pig's more light hearted version, 'The Squeal Deal'. Equivalent to a convenient store's meal deal where you would buy a sandwich and drink for a set price, this will be more of high quality and distributed through cafes, bars and selected stores.

The idea and development has been a joy to create and keeping light hearted with the whole process just the way Orchard Pig intended it to.



Have a look!



Net Idea, Needed some tweaks


Concertina labels


I redesigned the existing labels they had on the bottles to fit my style and the style I was going for with the campaign. The corresponding cider label had a simple message in it that paired with the right sandwich. 





Poster Draft


Coming to the finalisation of the design, the design was printed on textured kraft card to give it that rustic feel and reduced design along the whole sandwich box to give its presence as a three dimensional object and 2d design the overall design. Also introducing the 3 flavours.




Final poster design


The design became a fun piece of packaging aesthetically and practical as it tears open from the middle and comes apart in 2 parts.

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

The final poster design




First colour way




Line work draft






This poster design was for a buddy of mine I used to work with, he was hosting a monthly rock ballads event that needed a kick-ass poster design to promote it (and of cause I couldn't resist) You remember all the anthems of the 80's all that hair/glam metal... yeah you got it. I wanted to incorporate the 'loudness' of a concert, the long hair and head banging and of course, the toilet paper streams, that was a nice touch if I do say so myself. Within the detail of the design you pick out cliche elements of a concert and the attributes of the lifestyle, which is key to the event, POWER ANTHEMS ARE CHEESY! and you know it.
