Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge 08 book

Finally, it's here. Now printed, bound and despatched to client. Here are a couple of snaps of the book.



Inside...








My credit...



I'm really happy with the way the book turned out. Nice dustjacket on it with a silver foil deboss and emboss on the text. With the exception of the cover image all pages shown here feature my photography too.

Nice article on the telegraph website about urbanmole.com. Good to see the site getting the coverage it deserves.

Al Ain Airshow

Possible cover for the book. Its all away for client approval at the moment. Been a big job. Still got the Adventure Challenge book to be approved too. Chance are they'll both come back at once. Just what I need.

Dangerous Moments put on a great show. Not exactly what you'd expect at an airshow but great fun. Great bunch of guys too, I got to ride and attempt to take photographs in the back of one of the police cars as is donutted its way down the runway. 

Update

Been away boarding in Courcheval which was amazing. Loads of fresh powder. 

Back in to the way of things here again. Just about wrapped up the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge book now. It's on it's way to the client for final sign-off. Getting stuck in to the Al Ain Aerobatic Show book now. It's going to be nice, 100 pages of some great photography and comment on the people involved. It's all keeping me very busy though as you can imagine, not much time for my personal work but I've a few things simmering away which I'll get to soon.

In the meantime keep up-to-date with my tumblr and twitter feeds. I'm a bit better at updating them than I am at this.

Al Ain Airshow

Not finished the Adventure Challenge book yet, it's sitting with the client awaiting comments, but have started on the Al Ain Airshow book. Here's my cover concept. Not sure if it will fly (ha ha) but I thought I'd post it anyway. Thinking the baggage ticket could be embossed with a spot UV too.

I'll post some spreads when they're done and pics of the books when they're printed. February is looking pretty frantic with two books to finish, plus I'm off boarding for a week. Yikes.

urbanmole.com

I did this logo for urbanmole.com last year. The site has now gone live and is a great resource if you live in London. It has everything on there from housing, classifieds, tradespeople, dating to jobs and even the status of the London Tube lines. If you live in London check it out. If you don't, have a look anyway. The site was designed by my mate Stu.
