CELESTE / NOT YOUR MUSE / FABER MUSIC
This is the music book to accompany the debut album of BRIT Award-winning, Oscar and Mercury Music Prize nominated artist Celeste Waite. Rather than use the artwork from the album, Celeste wanted a unique cover for this project. We worked together using her illustrations to make a cover with simple imagery and type. Read Celeste’s post on the book

NEW ROCK ANTHEMS
In 2005 I was asked by
Faber Music to set up their in-house design studio and mentor their graphic designer
Lydia Merrills-Ashcroft. Faber’s popular music output was a new enterprise for the publisher. It was important that the design of the books reflect Faber’s reputation as a publisher of quality titles with innovative content. These are ambitious and innovative play-along books that put the reader ‘in the same room’ as the artists featured.

This is the definitive collection of
Radiohead’s complete released works (to date) with lyrics and guitar chords. The book also includes 48 pages of

The Tallowmwere Annual is an extraordinary book. Designed and illustrated by
Keaton Henson, it is made with a built-in mp3 pack so that you can listen to Henson’s specially composed score whilst you journey through his fictional town of Tallowmere. Faber Music approached me to take take this challenging project and realise it in print.

GREEN DAY / AUTHENTIC PLAYALONG
These are the first in a series of band-led play-along titles. We needed aspirational images of the band performing. Using performance photography can be challenging, though – the right shots can come from different shows by different photgraphers. In order to maintain a consistent look for the series we chose to stylise the photographs and produced arresting portraits of the band.

GUNS ’N’ ROSES / AUTHENTIC PLAYALONG
PINK FLOYD / AUTHENTIC PLAYALONG*
ROCK / ESSENTIAL PLAYLIST*
The Faber catalogue spans the breadth of popular music. The challenge in the studio was to package each title in the most appropriate and cost-effective way. The examples here: a lavish Guns ’n’ Roses collection for sale across the world, which couldn’t use existing album imagery or likenesses of the band; a Pink Floyd play-along (next in the series from Green Day) using a stylised portrait of the original line-up and simple type; and a survey of Faber Music’s subversive classics printed in two colours on uncoated stock.

THE RIFFTIONARY
THE BEST FEST SONGBOOK
NEW ROCK GENERATION
Another facet of Faber’s schedule are themed collections. Here we invested in setting up simple templates which could be easily adapted for the next volume, whilst still retaining the look and feel of the series.
THE PLAY SERIES
The ‘Play…’ series is aimed at 11–14 year-olds. The brief was to produce a striking cover which would work in different colours for each instrument, and be easily adaptable as the series expanded.
THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION
A coffee-table book of the best of the genre’s songs from Faber’s comprehensive catalogue. The illustrations are designed to capture the flavour of the contents and convey the gravitas of the title.
KERBSIDE / ALBUM
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
The Kerbside project developed from a poetry/performance piece by Ian Wills at the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s a semi-autobiographical account of a man’s struggle with drug addition and mental illness. I devised a simple typographical order and colour palette across the various printed parts to balance with expressive illustrations.
KERBSIDE / SPREADS
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
We wanted the illustrations to be a window into the febrile mind of the protaganist and to suggest they are a part of a body of manic drawing. They reference the automatism of savants, cottage grafittos, fevered doodling, ‘niave’ art, home-made tattoos, hobo chalking. It also gave us a flexible and expressive language to describe the Kerbside world.
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY LOVE SONG / IT’S EASY
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
These are the first two singles from the album. The illustrations are meant as counterpoints to those in the CD booklet as they address two of the main themes of the story: the moral choices made by the protagonist and his failing relationships.
NOTHING TO LOSE
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
The book of Ian Wills’ poetry accompanied by biographical notes and interpretations from music journalist
Alex Ogg. These poems form the basis of the Kerbside project (which don’t appear in the CD booklet). As such it was to reference the album style, but also to stand alone as a work of poetry, ‘serious’ criticism and as a luxury item for the serious fan. Photography by Matt Crossey.
WILLS & THE WILLING / PORTRAITS
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
As the campaign progressed and the band began their tour, the management wanted to focus on the band members as they each embark on the rounds of marketing and press routines. The illustrations were designed to offer an introduction to each of the band as a calling card as they ‘came out of the shadows’, whilst maintaining the house style. The illustrations were also designed to be adaptable across merchandising, marketing material, press-packs and as new members joined ‘The Willing’. In this incarnation, they are (l-r): Jason Knight, Gerry Cunningham, Ian Wills, Jesse Wood, Brendon Taylor and Martin Wright.
WILLS & THE WILLING / PROMOTION
WORKING CLASS RECORDS
The type and illustrations were designed to be flexible enough to work accross a number of sizes and formats for the promotional campaign and robust enough accomodate changes as the campaign developed.
RATTLESNAKES IN PLASTERCASTS EP
This promotional four song EP is a window into the world of the band. So I built a Herriman-esque landscape as a taster of their forthcoming album.
RATTLESNAKES IN PLASTERCASTS EP
H.I.V. / SINGLE
WORKING CLASS RECORDS & ONE LITTLE INDIAN
This is the first single from the Hundred & 3 project. It’s a charity record to be released on World A.I.D.S. Day. The illustration is a stylised rendering of the H.I.V. virus
attacking a healthy cell.

HUNDRED & 3 / LOGO
WORKING CLASS RECORDS & ONE LITTLE INDIAN
The two members of Hundred & 3 are Ian Wills (of Kerbside fame) and Trevor Morais (of The Peddlers and persussionist and programmer for Bjørk, Goldie, Underworld). I produced a logo and logo type to reflect the collaboration and to emphasise the distinct creative parts of the artists. Both wanted to retain some anonimity through the initial promotional phase, until the album release. The logo is also designed to be broken into three parts and used flexibly accross the campaign. This would be the common branding element throught the single releases, allowing the artwork to stand alone.

DIGITAL HUMAN
BRANDING
Digital Human Inc are a Quebec based software start-up. They develop an innovative software which brings powerful human-modelling tools to desktop users. DHI asked for a logo based on the Native Canadian Inukshuk — a primal human form made from elemental building blocks. I devised a logo which used basic geometric shapes to mimic a human form and which also reads as ‘DHI’.
DHI were acquired by PLM software giant
PTC in 2007.

DANIEL COCKRILL
Daniel Cockrill is a performance poet, a founder of the wonderful
Bang! Said The Gun and this is his first collection of work in print.
Trinovantes asked me for a cover that conveyed the gnomic humour and subtle gravitas of his performance — all in two colours on traditional Faber board.

DESTROYING THE LABORATORY FOR THE SAKE OF THE EXPERIMENT
Mark Power is a
Magnum photographer.
Daniel Cockrill is a poet. Between 2006 and 2010 they made speculative forays across England to divine the meaning of ‘Englishness’. My initial involvement was to produce a book which would accompany the exhibition of this work at the
Atlas Gallery in London. This became a collaboration with the pair on making work integral to the show. After the exhibition there was a nagging sense that the project was unresolved. The work documented an England in transition: the financial crisis of 2008 became the austerity of the coalition government. As these policies divided the country, we saw in the work not just new resonances, but the premonition of deep fractures in the English phyche. In June 2015 we began production on the book of this project. Finally, on the eve on the EU Referendum ‘Destroying The Laboratory For The Sake Of The Experiment’ was published. You can buy the book
here.

LESLIE BRICUSSE
PURE IMAGINATION – A SORTA-BIOGRAPHY
You might not know who Leslie Bricusse is, but you certainly have heard and probably even sung one of the songs he has written. ‘Feeling Good’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘The Candyman’, ‘You Only Live Twice’, ‘Oompa Loompa’, ‘My Old Man's A Dustman’ and of course, ‘Pure Imagination’, sung by Gene Wilder in the film ‘Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory’. Leslie has two Oscars, eight Ivor Novellos, a Grammy and is one of only four britons in the American Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame (Noel Coward, Paul McCartney and John Lennon are the other three). And yet he largely prefers to stay out of the spotlight. So, rather than a conventional, black and white 3/4 length portrait and a spot UV, we made a simple cover reminicent of a Victorian playbill to let the songs titles tell his story (with the help of a gold foil and deboss).
