paulbutt — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:58:59 +0000

A poster created for Texas-based creative agency Test Monki. It was used to promote their s’mores themed open house event to show off their new studio space. We decided to use the idea of a s’more as a metaphor for the services that Test Monki provide. This was something quite different to my usual style of work but also a very enjoyable project to work on.

A personal project inspired by reading a book about what was at the time the longest and most complicated bombing raid ever devised. The book itself had several illustrations which I found a bit lacking, so I had a go myself and it ended up being an A1-sized poster.

An infographic for Wired UK showing the many and varied media channels used to promote the television show Heroes. It was to fit into a small feature and I took inspiration from the title typeface to create an undulating angular ribbon diagram with a few little nice features.

A contribution to MAS Context – a themed quarterly journal created by MAS Studio in Chicago. This issue was themed on the concept of Amusement and I was given free-rein to created anything based on that theme. Having just watched Iron Man on DVD, my usual curiosity struck and I started doing some research on how comic books matched to their movie counterparts, and it all went on from there.

All data was researched by myself, and the graphic was later split onto two pages to better fit the flow of the article.
