First of four posters for my film festival based on past art styles. For modernism i chose Full Metal Jacket; based on de-constructing the individual i felt it was a good example of the art style. The use of the eye and gun barrel is to show how the soldiers are trained to see everything as a target.

bad vadar

another experimentation using photoshop. its a play on a famous line from Monty Python film, The Life of Brian. two stock images were used as well as a texture.

Legibility is Overrated

another photoshop experiment. found this nice font called bifurk and decided to have a play around with it. made using "difference" and "overlay" effects.

Warning

This is a design i for a project to create a new sign or symbol that would be useful in todays world. Our country has a very prominent drinking culture which results in various comical drunk behaviour. After researching the work of Johnathan Barnbrook i decided on making a light-hearted sign that would clearly advertise the problem in a satirical way.

me, myself and my designs

My name is Kevin Murphy and i'm a graphic designer from London, England. i graduated from Croydon College in 2008 with a 2:1 BA degree and am currently looking for work. My preference is simple, non-complicated design. I firmly believe as a visual communicater that simple design makes for a clearer message.

My favourite designers and artists from over the years include, Banksy, John Heartfield, Destjil and Peter Saville.

My main interest in design is the use of appropriation. i'm a big fan of its use and hope to master its philosophy.

Currently i am working freelance working for Premier models.
