Faces Of Evil

Ben Tallon has completed one of his ultimate jobs! Commissioned by WWE Magazine in the US, Ben has created a set design for a feature called 'Faces Of Evil.' A Creative Director whom Ben has known for a while spotted some banners Ben had created as Art Director of a feature film shot in Manchester, and so wanted a similar set of backdrops to use in a photo shoot. Ben says "They're all original artwork....(it was a) bit of a dream job for me this one since I'm a lifelong fan of pro wrestling". In these images we see AJ Lee, Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger and Kane.

British Airways Ads – Lucy Davey and Andrew Davidson

Lucy Davey and Andrew Davidson were recently asked by advertising agency BBH to work on these great ads for British Airways. Their striking bold flat colours and gorgeous type made them the perfect choice for the clever concept of these guide books. It’s certainly making us tempted to jet off for a glass of bubbly and a city break or a sun filled road trip cruising along with the roof down!
