“Funded on Volume, breaking UK book crowdfunding records, this collection of photographer Liam Wong’s nighttime images of Tokyo embraces his cyberpunk and science fiction influences, making use of 5 neon Pantones throughout and utilising a print technique which pushes colour saturation beyond the typical CMYK gamut. The typeface used throughout is 45/90, designed by Henrik Kubel of London-based A2-TYPE, licensed exclusively for this publication.” – Source
There will be no quiet
“An idiosyncratic memoir and visual monograph of Radiohead’s prolific cover artist, documenting his career in image making. The book, which I developed with Donwood over a three year period, is an intertwining of his paintings, digital works and sketchbooks with a 60,000 word chronicle of his working life and practice, designed as if two very different books – a traditional art catalogue and an anarchic, gnostic text – have been gathered and bound together.” – Source
Sega mega drive: collected works
“A documentary history of Sega’s iconic videogame console, funded by a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign and produced in collaboration with Sega of Japan. I created the concept for the project, led the crowdfunding campaign and acted as editor, researcher and designer for the book, labelled ‘the best coffee table book about videogames of all time’ by leading games site Kotaku.” – Source
A pixel typography primer
“An 8-page, tongue in cheek research feature for Monotype’s Recorder magazine on early videogame typography. I present ten examples of the form, a practice that was often constrained to grids of just 8×8 pixels, and examine the unique characteristics of this often neglected area of type design. My selections span cult titles such as Atic Atac and Xenon 2: Megablast, to global smash hits Street Fighter II and Doom.” – Source
