D&A Fairtrade Exhibition 2012
There is currently an exhibition of Fairtrade coffee projects by Design and Arts College graphic design graduates at Addington Coffee Co-op in Christchurch. The exhibition marks Fairtrade Fortnight and will run from 5–20 May.
Student project: Fairtrade branding campaign – logo, in-store poster and coffee cups.
The idea behind my campaign is that Fairtrade Fortnight is a celebration of fair play. With this in mind, I decided to play with the word ‘fair’. The sun motif refers to a fair day while bright colours and cheerful flags suggest all the fun of the fair.
Gig poster – Lisa Baxter
Poster design that Lisa and I worked on over the weekend for her next gig in Christchurch. Photograph supplied by client.

Here is the completed watercolour of a sketch I posted a couple of weeks ago.
The struggling artist
Self-portrait in charcoal
I learnt to draw the Danny Gregory way — slowly and deliberately with a pen. No pencil. No eraser. Mediums like graphite and charcoal really throw me now. This preliminary sketch is a semi-blind drawing (that’s where you spend most of your time looking at the subject, NOT the paper).
I persevered with the exercise and ended up with a self-portrait that I quite like. It is based on a photo of me when I was a young ballerina.
