365 Ways We Care
While working at Brio Group we decided that it was time to celebrate our commitment to charity. Over the 2010-11 financial year we aimed to donate 365 gifts of sight to the Fred Hollows Foundation – one for every day of the year. We thought what better way to celebrate (and give back on a local level) than to host a public tea party where we’d give away 365 cupcakes to the citizens of Brisbane. Enter Brio Group’s Ultimate Public Tea Party and our website: 365wayswecare.com.

‘Geordie’ Typeface
I created this typeface originally for the Fête De La Musique Brisbane brand but have developed it further and turned it into a full working font with capitals and punctuation. I’m currently working on the accented characters so the font will work in other languages and I’ll be selling it online soon. Stay tuned!

‘Janet & Darrell’ Typeface
For my engagement party and wedding I decided to create a custom typeface making it just that little bit more special. I wanted a very romantic look with lots of swashes and embellishments. All the designers out there will know the serious lack of quality cursive fonts so hopefully I’ll help their cause a little as I intend on turning this one into an actual work typeface that I’ll sell online. Stay tuned!

‘Grow Up’ Typeface
‘Grow Up’ is a typeface I created for a client wanting a brand for their Careers and HR department. I developed a number of illustrations for the different occupations they were trying to recruit for – bus driver, construction worker, road engineer and environmental scientist – and hid them as glyphs in the font. The illustration and lettering style is child-like and fun, and is designed to bring people back to when they were young and dreamed of what they’d become when they grew up.

‘Cupcake’ Typeface
I created ‘Cupcake’ for Brio Group’s 365wayswecare brand and it became a feature of our Ultimate Public Tea Party. The typeface is fun, light and looks great in delicious pastel colours. I also created a few extra graphic elements – the cupcake, starburst and banner – and hid them as glyphs in the font. I’m currently working on the accented characters and will have this font for sale soon. Stay tuned!

Collaged Typeface
During my time at Brio Group we were commissioned by Brisbane City Council to create a number of different environmental exhibits. In keeping with the ‘recycled’ theme I made my way to Reverse Garbage and picked up bags of recycled materials to create the artwork. I developed a custom typeface and illustrations using only the recycled materials which I then scanned for the final piece. The exhibits asked consumers to question their daily habits and look for small ways they can change their lifestyle to make the world a greener place…
