I have compiled a selection of mood boards to help me further exploration into imagery, and use as reference. My first one is about exploding clocks. I have found imagery that contains the short of content I want to be looking at. Lots of different parts of clock gears and cogs. Some are tattoos, some … More Moodboards
To kick this brief off, I needed to find out the meaning of Wisdom, the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement; the quality of being wise: I have always believed that wisdom comes to a person through time. As the saying goes; the wise old man. Experience is gained through a lengthy time … More First thoughts of wisdom

To further my typographical illustrations, I have been thinking about how to reproduce them for selling purposes. The book alone is a nice collection for them to all sit along side the descriptions of mental health.
