Booksection Illustrations: Work in Progress

This is a proof-of-concept I completed to present the style of illustration that I would like to use for the various children’s sections at a book retailer. I’m very excited by the prospect of working on more illustrations, and while the start to this project was a little rough it promises to be rather rewarding.  Read More

Skullfree Starfield

This is the final product of the style experiment I went through over the past couple of weeks. Considering the corporate toning down of the image, I think it came out rather well and I’m looking forward to seeing it in print.  Read More

Stars, Lenses, Skulls & Crests

I had a lot of fun creating these images. They are all elements that were generated while designing a cover page for a project proposal document. The final design is close to completion and I’ll post it up as soon as it’s done. I drew a lot of inspiration from some of the images on ffffound. It seems that for a while, there was a surge in the bookmarking of images... Read More

Matthew Hart’s Showreel

I’ve just completed my 2009 showreel and uploaded it to my Portfolio page. For the music, I made use of a piece of the Munchausen By Proxy track Yes Man.  Read More

Portfolio Updated

I’ve just updated my work in the Portfolio section. The latest work I’ve done for DStv, some illustrative work and a few logos are now available for viewing.  Read More

Wayfinding

These are images of a project I was involved in a while back. It’s one of the few information graphic exercises I have been involved in. The objective of the project was to display the passage of 20 years using a wayfinding system. The project took shape as a triptych of topographical posters that map the relationship between Historical, Societal and Ideological developments... Read More

Flighty

Thanks to those still visiting cmyplay. I’ve been going through a lot lately and I will post about it when appropriate. I’ll leave you with some urban-knowledge dispensed by the best source for such profound advice – a two-man novelty band.  Read More

I am Matthew’s latest Post

I did this image as a follow up, at least stylistically, to the John Donne inspired one I posted a while back. It’s another self-initiated item, this time using lyrics from Electric Six’s I Wish this Song was Louder. I’m currently doing research into interface design, particularly having to do with online video players. It’s quite exciting working on a project... Read More

Nicholas Felton’s Annual Report Redux: 2008 Report

The 2008 Feltron Annual Report is certainly not what I expected it to be. Having ordered the 2007 Report last year sometime, I was struck by the vastly different styles between the two. The newer edition trades in the three-coloured, seemingly hand-stitched, typographically flourished and ligatured form for a four-coloured, reflective silver- inked, fold-out poster one. The 2008... Read More

Autumnal Purgatory

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... Read More
