PRIVATE MOUNTAIN - TOTE BAG DESIGNS

Tote bag designs for Private Mountain, translating their VHS/glitch aesthetic into a minimal, print-ready form. The work uses subtle texture and distortion inspired by CRT and analogue TV imagery, and was screen printed onto AS Colour tote bags.

COUCHDOG COLLECTIVE LOGO

For Melbourne artist collective Couchdog Collective, I went for an illustrative type design consisting of dogs forming each letter of the logo to create a playful and more visually expressive identity.
WEATHER VANE RECORDS LOGO

This was a really fun brief working with a few simple but effective colours, a fun hand drawn graphic and generally taking on a more hands-on approach with initial sketches and experimenting with textures for the final design.
