ASIOKE
ASIOKE is a short motion graphics piece I put together a few years ago using After Effects. It combines two of my favourite things; karaoke and paranoia.

I just recently finished working on a number of logo design concepts for a new business here in Melbourne that aims to provide blinds, shades and shutters for large-scale commercial and residential real estate projects.

The first post on this blog is more than a year old now and it was a link to the ‘World of Logotypes’ book published in 1976 and re-discovered and scanned by designer Eric Carl.

At the start of this year I was asked to design postcards on behalf of the Financial and Consumer Rights Council. The FCRC is an advocacy group representing the interests of people with actual financial difficulties (as opposed to the ‘financial difficulties’ of those of us who decided to do an arts degree).

I recently listened to ABC Radio’s Interview with senator Stephen Conroy - Australia’s Federal Minister for Communications about the mandatory internet filter that looks set to be introduced later on this year.

American designer and artist Dan McCarthy has an exceptional portfolio of poster illustrations on his site.

Demonstrating a MacGuyver-like resourcefulness with shape and colour we have Israeli graphic designer Noma Bar.

Here are a few initial proofs for a logotype for sound and lighting technician Jacob Battista.

I thought I’d kick things off by showing the design process for the Riddip logo and branding for the business cards. I wanted to create something simple, monochrome that incorporated my initials RDP. The black and white colour scheme is a reference to my first photographic work and the logo itself represents the tools of the trade; a button or a lens or a stack of blank CDs.
