paulbutt — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 18:51:41 +0000

This infographic was commissioned by Courrier Japon Magazine in Tokyo and is based on the article “The iPad Changes Everything” originally published by Fortune Magazine. It was printed in the July 2010 Issue.

It illustrates the introduction of the iPad and how many devices in different markets are now finding themselves in direction competion to the power of the iPad and the Apps Store. All data was researched by myself, and the graphic was later split onto two pages to better fit the flow of the article.

Digital Nostalgia – Wired Italy

paulbutt — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 01:17:39 +0000

A new edition of my Digital Nostalgia work commissioned for Wired Italy. All the information from the previous project was updated with most parts requiring a complete redesign to fit into a magazine format. I was given full control over layout and typography and Wired gave me use of metallic inks and thicker paper just for my section.

A new version of one of my Digital Nostalgia posters with some new information and fitted into a magazine format. This spread shows the major milestones of mobile phones, not just in technology, but in social importance. They range from the very first commercial model to the beginnings of mainstream consumer adoption and on to the best selling models of their generation.

Digital Nostalgia Posters

I am part of a generation that as grown up in parallel to some incredible technologies that have dramatically changed the way we live, but I have also got to the age where I’ve found myself becoming nostalgic about how things used to be. This inspired me to base my university major project on the progress of technology and some of the social events that have been influenced by it during my lifetime.

This developed into a series of 6 A2 posters each showing a different aspect of the technologies that we rely on today with the final poster linking them together, by showing how they are geographically related. Each poster also had a smaller A3 fold-out version for which I also produced packaging to show how it could work as a final product.

Top Gear vs. Fifth Gear

After watching a bit too much Dave featuring back to back episodes of Top Gear and Fifth Gear, I was inspired to create these infographic posters, scientifically showing my thoughts on both.

The Forgotten Defenders

A two page spread for a Zine project. The given themes were British, 50+ years old, and three and it had to be in black and white.

My design is based on the British attempt at a nuclear deterrent during the Cold War, which to my mind has largely been forgotten by today’s society. The men who flew these machines were tasked with defending our island nation, knowing if they were ever launched in anger, they probably wouldn’t survive, and there might not be anything for them to return to.
