New Logo and First Gig Poster Back!


One of the bigger projects I've done in awhile is the new logo for my band Push To Twist. The reason for it being is it's the band's second coming since March with new members. This logo is a series from the first one being a hot rod car now to a hot rod plane. There is an idea behind the plane going into our stage show but I don't want to give much away as we haven't had our first gig yet. I animated the plane as I would with a car and I'm happy with the result and hopefully this will be seen around a lot more.


Here is our poster for our first gig back. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. The original idea for it was to be based on n old 1930s comic book cover but I was finding it a bit hard to get it to much what we wanted out of it. With that idea still in mind it became an advertisement from that time still. The overlay of the old, worn paper at the start wasn't meant to be so dominant but once I put it on I knew it was perfect, it gives it a constructivism look which fits the era still with the style of plane. I used both Illustrator and photoshop.

Design Jobs



This logo is for the Beaters Car Club. They already have the logo and type done and asked me to put colour and a background on it. I got the idea from the style of cars that are in the club. It's very custom/hot rod based. Hopefully we'll be able to see it on t-shirts, jackets and stickers soon!

This is a very recent job i just did for the band, The Black Aces. They are a rock band from Bendigo. The brief was very open as long as the photo and type logo was there. The Style i went for is what hard rock bands from the 70s, 80s would have. I think it fits very well with the type of music, it looks like its made to be pasted up in the city streets, it's bold, simple and effective.
