I worked on the design, functional spec and UI of the app. The function would allow users to upload fashion and cultural images on the move to an online portfolio to share with other users of the site. A challenging project, learning the flexibility of device design and working closely with OS and Android developer, I learnt a lot about collaboration across different disciplines and the importance of clear concise design that is user orientated.

The typeface was a response to a selection of photographs by Bruce Davidson. Bruce Davidsons “Subway” collection acts as metaphor for a larger human experience. The photographic series documents life in the New York subway, recording the animated energy of train carriages and station platforms across the busy metropolis. In response to the collection Upper East Side is a typeface that emulated this 1980/90s NYC gangland culture, and the hustle and bustle of the subway system that was documented by Davidson. Integrating pattern and changing strokes this sans-serif typeface is influenced primarily in response to the exhibition, takes the structure of platforms and subway lines to create a bold solid base to the font, juxtaposed with the pattern and light stokes marry the unpredictable and “colourful” life of the subway gangs that are documented. The typeface being primarily a display font rather than used for body copy seems to stand well with the ideals of 1980's New York, its all about standing out. Weather it be gang-colours or fur coats. http://michaelmercerbrown.com/Fixed-One-Magazine http://michaelmercerbrown.com/following/michaelmercerbrown.com/Fixed-One-Magazine Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:31:19 +0000 Michael Mercer Brown : Graphic Design 1308872 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01282_960.JPG" width="960" height="640" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01282_o.JPG" data-mid="6388986" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01281_960.JPG" width="960" height="640" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01281_o.JPG" data-mid="6388980" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01284_960.JPG" width="960" height="640" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01284_o.JPG" data-mid="6388995" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01285_960.JPG" width="960" height="640" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01285_o.JPG" data-mid="6346360" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01283_960.JPG" width="960" height="640" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/60556/1308872/DSC01283_o.JPG" data-mid="6346336" border="0" align="left"/>Fixed & One Magazine Art Direction/Photography/Writing Brief Create a spread for a new publication based on cycle culture. Response After speaking with the editor of the magazine it was decided I would interview and art direct a shoot with GB Olympic hopefull Hannah Mayho, a good friend of mine who is on the road to 2012, and hopefully will be competing on the track. The interview and shoot was shot in Hannahs Manchester flat where she does extra training in the buildings genorator room. A perfect surrounding for this urban culutre magazine. The images were then touched up and overlayed with a gradient, hinting at the ideas of balance in the sport, her life, and the culture itself. you can read the whole magazine here: FIXED & ONE
