GOOGLE / HOT CHIP

This project was an exclusive party at Printworks in Docklands. The theme was "Cosmic Circus". Hot Chip played.

In my spare time I create a lot of esoteric illustration using a wide variety of techniques including photography and 3D software.

I created the typeface which was used for branding the event. This was based on Galdrastafir (ancient Icelandic magic symbols) and Icelandic magical staves (sigils). I had created this previously for
a personal project.

The alien typeface was based on shapes found in commedia dell'arte.

The psychedelic spaceships were made using textile designs I normally use for creating silk scarves.

The production team created a light frame for Hot Chip to play under.

Alien font created using references from traditional circuses (dots, diamonds and pulleys/wheels) and Thai and Pagan/magical alphabets. They don’t actually mean anything.

The Cosmic Circus logo references magical alphabets, runes and platonic solids. I used a typeface I created for the Wilding Festival.

Banners I created for the Emily Wilding Davison Festival. I used a typeface I created myself and used 3D objects decorated with kaleidoscopic patterns.
