I reached out to Murray wanting to film something new and creative, so he invited me to the workshop to film and edit. This video is a short introduction into shaping wooden climbing holds with care and precision all done from a single car garage on the Central Coast NSW Australia. From natural grain to hand-crafted fun, its all about craftsmanship that performs.

From natural grain to hand-crafted form, it’s all about craftsmanship that performs. I designed and laid out the promotional flyer for the Hell on Earth gig at Burdekin on August 9th.
The design features a supplied hi-res live photo of the band, which I posterised and added textures to, creating a retro aesthetic similar to that of classic band posters. The flyer utilises a 2 colour design scheme with strong gradients, enhancing the overall visual impact while maintaining an underground vibe. The design also incorporates the original band logos (created by others), ensuring that the flyer stays true to the band’s branding while serving as an eye-catching advertisement for the show. Both designed as a social media square tile and also a ticketed website banner. I handled the full layout design for the Culture of Hate cassette tape using Adobe InDesign, focusing on typography, layout, and preparing the files for print. This included creating a two-fold, full-colour design with attention to layering and proper file setup for production.
The band’s original logo, designed by True Suffer, and illustrations by Jruggz (c) were integrated into the design, ensuring a cohesive visual experience for the release. All files were finalized to be print-ready, with colour accuracy and proper bleed settings in place. |
