Pinch and a punch… and a new month means a new poster for The Jazz Meet. This one was done with Estonian illustrator Triinu Lille.

The flyers and posters keep coming (and long may that continue!) but there has been a few recent amends to make… The Jazz Meet now has a new venue – Floripa – but the design stays roughly the same. The night itself, however, is seeing the move as just one part of an evolution involving [...]

The second EP from Mo Kolours is done and in production – the above image is actually the end credit from the trailer video that predates the release and can be seen here. The video shows glimpses of the man at work and is soundtracked by EP cut ‘Temi’, an excursion into hard-as-nails hip-hop with a [...]

I did it last year and I liked it so I thought I should carry on the practice. In fact it might just inspire me to do it for other suitable projects. Maybe… As you will be able to see there was no event in January, hence the gap top left of the review. You [...]

Following on from the recent Paul White post, it seems right to mention the design and release of the new Remix EP. The artwork has the same basic design and look as the album, but it has been ‘remixed’. Simple, but hopefully effective.

The new album from Paul White is all set to be released, which means the artwork is finished and I must say I am proud of it and can’t wait to see it printed. Once I get my copies I’ll get this and the other recent One-Handed releases properly photographed and up into the portfolio [...]

When I last posted about The Jazz Meet I mentioned that the venture might becoming a weekly one – this has now happened and as such the look for the event has had to change accordingly. May and June’s flyers are shown below, along with the new reverse for the generic flyer which you may [...]

In December I posted about a new jazz venture that I had created the identity for and I mentioned how I hoped they were successful as I could see a whole range of possibilities for the posters and flyers. Well, thankfully the new year has started well for The Jazz Meet and there is even [...]
