The Challenge

Working on the graphics for 2006, 2007, and 2008 with the Tabou Boards shaper Fabien Vollenweider in Bali, Thailand, and at his home in Marseille, France were some of the best highlights of this project.

Like Gaastra, when the designs for the products were completed, specified to the nearest mm, I then completed the sales and marketing materials and arranged photo shoots on Maui, Hawaii, for high-action advert campaigns.

The Challenge
Design a book set that engaged an international rugby audience while making the experience truly Kiwi and Canterbury.

We interviewed Canterbury Rugby players, Crusaders and All blacks visited over 40 rugby clubs and gathered voice recordings, photos of trophies and built up a database of memories 1886 to 2011. 

In partnership with Matthew Hinman, we designed a stunning publication experience – however sadly due to ill health at the time the project was abandoned.

Completion Date 2008

The Challenge
Design a collectable book set that showcased the uniqueness of James Edward FitzGerald’s first Victorian page-turner children’s storybook, published in 1850.

The quality of the publication was so high that a copy has been welcomed into international collections, including Queen Elizabeth II’s personal library in England, and the National Library Wellington, New Zealand.

Something special about the presentation to the NZ Govt was that the design work on the walls is that of the late Max Hailstone, who was my tutor at the Ilam Fine Arts School at Canterbury University.
