8 Channels EP is the latest 12" vinyl cover design for Cinematic Label, following the previous Black Lips last month. The tracks on the EP, released within the next few weeks, were very 'instrumental' during the design process, helping me to visually represent the mood of the music.

They've been tried, they've been tested and they look very nice on the new iPhone. Based on Malibu designs from two weeks ago, you can now download 6 very cheery wallpapers from the link below.

Advanced Photoshop [Issue 72] features 7 pages about my Love / Hate project, which was originally made for Book #THREE. Pick up a copy of the magazine to find out how the whole concept came about as well as a few retouching secrets in the tutorial.

Thanks Adam Smith and Julie Easton at APM.

Following up from the Monday's showcase update, below are pictures of the iPad Magazine work I did. The magazine is out now in WH Smith in the UK and offers very compelling and insightful read about the exciting new platform.

A while ago, I've been commissioned by Malibu & We Are Social to work on custom design graphics for limited edition 'Malibu by U' bottle. Fortunately this week, I had time to finish the piece on theme of cranberry, orange and lime [unfortunately, I've lost the name of the cocktail].

If you wish to find out more info on the whole project see, Malibu UK Twitter feed, you can read more 'social' info on Malibu Facebook page and get talking with We Are Social - London. 

If you are curious about creation of this colourful bounciness, you will find in-depth feature in the August issue of Advanced Photoshop magazine, giving you step by step guide. 

Tomorrow's issue of Computer Arts 177 features my latest tutorial with focus on quite often overlooked 3D features in Adobe Illustrator. The piece was written for pretty much any holder of CS, it uses the basic tools and focuses on creative experiments of the given topic.  

Furthermore, I have spoken to Graeme Aymer about business practise tips and promotions ideas which have made part of the 89 Freelance Tips article. Out tomorrow in WH Smiths.

Recently, I have had the pleasure to be interviewed by Rob Carney for Computer Arts Project about freelancing tips and illustration secrets. Out now in WHSmith with an amazing pull out cover and much more in the magazine. Essential!

Cinematic Label is an off shoot record company from Shack Music and I'm pleased to say our collaboration that started in 2005 is still going strong. Below you'll find the latest design for their upcoming release, Massi Gee - Black Lips. There's a number of following releases, all awaiting Brand Nu design treatment, scheduled to be out this year.

Current issue 176 of Computer Arts features my new quirky double page editorial on the topic of Free Pitching. Also, the output section mentions Book #THREE. Out now.

Thanks to Tom Dennis, Luke O'Neil and Garrick Webster.

It's not only the English weather hotting up right now as work at Brand Nu has been hectic lately, hence the blog has been a bit neglected.

If you had bought Book #THREE you'd already seen this branding project for N4Life. I'm pleased to see the final result out there and good luck to all at N4Life doing their praisable bit for charity cause.

The current issue of .PSDPhotoshop magazine features nice profile of my latest work. You'll also find some great tutorials in there too.

It's beautiful, seriously, the work is utterly stunning as expected.
Congratulations.

It’s looking a real humdinger. The three on the front in the gold out
of red looks amazing.

Paul Skeffington - Art Director / Push Thinking

It’s fantastic! Congrats on another superb job.

Tom Dennis - Deputy Editor Computer Arts

I can truly say it's your best one. I'm excited by having opportunity to follow
your career, to see how you grown up and expand your skills to all new fields.
In other words, it's fucking dope!

It is very nice. Always love a bit of gold foil!

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone. It really shows off
Brand Nu’s work in a new dimension and the expression of individuality
is engaging from start to finish.
Albert Lo - Art director

Absolutely outstanding both in content and print finish.
Very inspirational all round, i'm sure creatives from all
around the UK and global feel the same way.

Mark Patttison - Designer

The book is awesome! I particularly like the work for the London Film
Museum and the Fellowship artwork. Love the plike
cover with the foil block too.

Adam Jennings - Designer

I am thoroughly, thoroughly impressed and inspired as always
by your books. Your eye for design and impressive skills have
been setting the bar for what I am trying to achieve

as a graphic designer.
