As part of the project we produced a short film called 'ImageMakers' which is a sort of behind-the-scenes look at the illustrators we work with on the project. With additional commentary by me (Michael) & Amanda Moorby (D&AD) & Patrick Burgoyne (editor, Creative Review).

The midcentury legends' untouched living room is relocated and reassembled, piece by piece, at LACMA for the exhibition 'California Design, 1930-1965: Living In a Modern Way.'

It's with great pleasure that we can show you the official film poster for the new Gary Hustwit documentary film 'Urbanized'.
having worked with Gary on his previous film 'Objectified' (Michael also featured in his first documentary film 'Helvetica') we are really happy to be working on the identity and all print collateral for this latest installment.
The poster is double-sided. Why two sides? 1) You get to you choose which side you want to display, and 2) If they’re randomly alternated when multiple copies are posted, they create sort of a “city skyline” of their own, like such—

Love this short by Hannah Blackmore titled 'The Regulars'.
A short film documenting the Western Undercliff Cafe, located along a once popular promenade in Ramsgate, looking at traces of what the West Cliff used to be. The day to day life of the cafe, and how they are coping with change. Two communities existing alongside each other on what is now the A299, the past and present living together.
