First PacMats Roll off the Production Line
The first batch of PacMats have arrived and are available for purchase. The cmyplayStore is up and ready to take orders. This first run is limited to 50 sets at £11,00 per set of 6 (excluding postage). I’m very pleased with the final result. The design translated well between the prototypes and the final production pieces. If you’re interested in getting yourself a set, then please head on over to the PacMat page on the cmyplayStore...

Stop Pink Eye: Threadless Critique Update
I have uploaded the revised design for the Stop Pink Eye T-shirt to the critiques page on Threadless. Once again, any feedback is welcome. In this version, the Cyclops has an eyebrow. The detailing on the eye-patch has also been altered. var addthis_pub = 'cmyplay'; var addthis_brand = 'cmyplay';var addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_header_color = '33ccff';var addthis_options = 'email, twitter, facebook, digg, more'; Read More
Stop Pink Eye: Threadless Critique
There are few things in life that are worse than being a Cyclops with pink eye. With enough interspecies, social activism, hopefully this affliction could be a thing of the past. This is my latest submission to Threadless. The design is still only in critique stage, so your feedback is welcome in the comments section below, or, if you are a Threadless member, at the design critique page. var addthis_pub = 'cmyplay'; var addthis_brand = 'cmyplay';var...

PacMat Production Ramps-up
For those of you who didn’t catch it on Twitter, I have met with suppliers and I am happy to announce that production of the long-awaited PacMat is ramping up. This week should see the proofing of a set of the coasters to the quality of the prototypes. Following this, Production will start on 50 sets of the power-pill popping goodness. The cmyplayStore is down for maintenance this week. It should be back up by next week in time to take some... 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 that occurred over the period. Printed as A2 posters, and I’m... Read More
PacMat Part IV: Packaging and Final Prototype
With the design for the PacMat finalised, I’ve started experimenting with the packaging. I think that the simplest solution is going to be the best. Especially since I don’t see it adding any value further than keeping the set complete and protected until a purchase is made. The logo came about rather easily and it didn’t require a 27-page document to justify it’s relevance. The packaging is as simple as it looks, a folded... Read More
cmyplayStore Launching Soon
In the third update to cmyplay in as many weeks, the cmyplayStore is set to go live soon. While this is not strictly an update to this site as such, it is expanding on the cmyplay online footprint. After struggling along with a locally hosted ecommerce installation, my PHP skills (which are entirely self taught) finally gave way to the pressures of effective branding and convenient management. The Store makes use of the BigCartel framework. I came... Read More
