cmyplay

As you may have noticed, cmyplay has an updated interface. Said interface has given away what I’ve been working towards with on the site so far. An online portfolio is in the works, along with a retail facility. Now I don’t want to give it away just yet, but it should launch with a certain lifestyle product in mind.

The above is a poster image that I have reworked from a previous project that I completed. With Lost Season 5 set to start on South African screens only at the end of March, I’m willing to admit that the typographic treatment owes more than just a little to the greatest series on TV. The words are from John Donne’s Elegy XX. With my hands being so busy with things that are unfortunately not bearing any visible fruit, I felt that it would be quite appropriate (even though in context, the poem may not be).

I must be the only person in the country that doesn’t make use of bit-torrent.

This is a stop-motion video of the  construction of a self-contained mailable booklet containing print design, illustration, web and motion portfolio. Included is a showreel DVD with a breakdown of the different projects that it consists of.

The body copy is set in Alte Haas Grotesk Regular, the captions in Alte Haas Grotesk Bold. The headings are in Fertigo Pro – which is the typeface that I based this site’s logo on. The printing of the booklet is done on high quality 180gsm Matte stock, and the packaging is printed on a fantastic Fedrigoni Titoretto Gesso 140gsm stock.
