Design

Image en masse.

Graphic design

The play of image and type. I am primarily a print designer – but my design is as interactive as anything you’ll find on a screen. If not more so! Open it, play with it, immerse yourself deeply. Identity is of prime concern, and must saturate all messaging.

Logotypes

Here is a gallery of my favourite logos. A logo must convey identity strongly and instantly, whether across the room; at a distance; or on a coin or a stamp.

Postage stamps

The Icelandic cow is the breed which was brought to the island in settlement times, unchanged by mixed breeding over the centuries. The bull, to the left, appears in the myth of Þór (Thor) and the giant Hymir, when the thunder god uses the head of an ox as bait to fish the world serpent, Jörmungandr. The myth on the right features the primal cow Auðhumbla, who plays an essential role to the awakening of life.
