Very interesting indeed! In 2006, for my final uni project, I created a magazine called 'Join the dots' which featured a wide range of my art college pals whose work I respected: photography, illustration, fashion, film, set design. It included the likes of Luke James, Lucy Joy Oldfield, Emily Twomey and Phil Dunlop. Maybe I should resurrect it and create issue #2! Good post CR.

I co-wrote music and did sound design (with Bill Gautier) in collaboration with Dixon Baxi for about 2 dozen MTV idents. Shame we didn't get a dot to fill in! Grouse over - they look great.

The Dixon Baxi concept is a bit lame is it not? Don't get me wrong, minimalist conceptual graphics are very often a good thing, but come on... am I the only one who has visions of some precious musing going on, over which gradient to eventually elect to go with. We all know that sometimes less is indeed more, but less is often just lazy and downright pretentious as well. I did expect more from these guys, since they are very well-renowned for creating utterly brilliant work. On the bright side though, I like most of these. Especially the cross-section of the aeroplane by Chris Labrooy... which I think is nothing short of absolute creative genius. You really do get a feel for how fragile we are flying in an aluminium tube 30,000 feet up.

I remember the way my first Illustrator linear gradient banded. And my first lens flare in Photoshop. All that aside, the Jimmy Yuan and Chris Labrooy pieces are excellent.
