Photography

Recently I completed a logo commission for Amy Zarah, a very talented alternative photographer. We worked on the creative ideas process together which was a brilliant experience, sharing ideas and inspiration (we got a little addicted to Pinterest on the way, as you can see from my typography board!). The final outcome is inspired by script and tattoo style work, and I am really pleased with it! 

The logo has just gone live over on her Facebook page, and you can check out all of her beautiful work here.

Recently I've been interested in calligraphic type styles and tattoo style flourishes, and I decided to have a go at putting together a little design. I settled on the four "bohemian ideals" from the movie Moulin Rouge that I recently rewatched for the umpteenth time; Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love.

What I came up with is loosely based on an existing typeface that I came across, borrowing an ampersand from a different typeface for a more unusual look. I'd love to hear what you think!
