Experimental bubble wrap typography.

Extract from experimentation with spheres

This decorative alphabet was produced by Nigel Bents, Paul Oakley and Jonny Holmes at Chelsea College of Art & Design. Based on a downloaded Bodoni Poster font, it was designed digitally by students using Illustrator, laser cut out of 3mm plywood by Cut Laser Cut in Vauxhall and mounted on type-high block by Stef Willis in the college workshop.

It was then printed at Graham Bignell’s New North Press in Hoxton. There they will remain; and in time, no doubt, be added to. An example of a digital start leading to an analogue finish.

Limited numbers available for purchase, get in contact if interested.

A lot of people don’t know I am a painter as well as a designer, I have a few commissions over the summer to keep me busy. Above is some of my work from the last few years.
