District

Identity and site designed by myself and Oscar Torrans and built by myself and Ben West, District is an online magazine that prides itself on covering the best aspects of Dublin city while keeping its readers up to date on upcoming events.

Referencing the visual language of cartography and navigation throughout the site and the logotype, we created an identity that reflected their core interest, the city itself. ”It’s compass cause district.”

The Building Society at the Twisted Pepper

Posters for the good folks at The Building Society.

Andrew Nuding

Andrew Nuding is a remarkably young, outstanding photographer with an array of clients ranging from Dazed & Confused to American Apparel. Together we created a site for his ever expanding portfolio of work. Referencing the physical and metaphorical nature of photography at every turn, the site flicks monochrome with images and typography exposing themselves and fading back. The site’s entire colour scheme changes depending on the time of day and something special happens in the early hours of the morning.

Noodge

Designed with my vastly intelligent friend Steve, Noodge began as a college project and eventually became a fully fledged, living and breathing typeface. Inspired by the pioneering work of Wim Crouwel and 8vo, it is an ultra-modular type family in three styles: 20, 80 and 320. Exploring the effects of exponential growth in typography, the characters evolve from their most basic into more complex forms as more units are progressively used in their construction, crude forms become more refined in some areas and more emphasized in others.

Foundation

Foundation is The Building Society’s ongoing series of excellent parties and club nights. Working with my good friend Oscar under the guise of OSIM, we were asked to create an identity for Foundation that would be expressive and flexible and also retain a certain sense of the underground roots of the early days of Detroit techno, particularly the labels associated with the The Belleville Three; KMS Records, Transmat and Metroplex.

Taking architectural cues from the name and juxtaposing them with these references allowed us to create a visual tone that we continue to explore with every iteration. The mark is simply a foundation for every poster, always supporting whatever structure sits above it.

Steve Green
