A fun wee figure to help local engineering firm Fluent celebrate their 10th birthday.
Vision 20|20
In late 2020 I got to help with this great project named Vision 20|20. It’s about vision testing resources and learning for school students.
The dynamic team was made up of occupational therapists, an optometrist, product designers, and a whole big mob of teachers and intermediate school kids. The Vision 20|20 team asked me on board to help design some testing resources, and a logo, and to create some short animations.
Update: the project is a finalist won silver in the Best Design Awards, in the category Value of Design. Woop! Thanks to Machiko, Mary, Kelechi and Sarah and the rest of the team.
New DCC street banners
I was super lucky to get to design these street banners for Dunedin City Council. They’re up around the city, flapping away happily and being tricky to photograph on my phone.
The client had a nice idea about birds, and I decided to represent bush birds vs coastal birds, and sneak in a favourite bird or two. There was a nice bit in the local paper.
D&D decision cards
I made up these decision-making cards for a local Dungeons and Dragons group for young people with disabilities, that my son is part of.
The great group is run by the good people from Community Care Trust. These cards were the idea of therapist Sean, and I just wanted to make them look tight, so that they might look like an official part of the game. The idea is to simplify some of the many complex choices that a player has to make in D&D, which could be especially useful if they have something like cognitive disability and/or high anxiety. And, we pretty much all respond more seriously to things that are nicer, more formalised, where more love has gone into it.
