Another plug for a friend from university. Jack Richardson has put up a website with his portfolio of outstanding work at http://standinginafield.com/.
Some examples are below:

Kululua Air Livery
On a kind of an infographics theme, I saw this today which made me laugh. I think it could be classed as infographics as it does try to explain parts of the plane to an outsider, and its humourous to boot. Unfortunately they’ve only painted one plane this way, which they’ve named “Flying 101″.
Found from here.

BBC Appreciation Station
I love the BBC – in fact I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the increasingly fewer things we can be proud about in this country. I have no problem at all paying the license fee for the extreme wealth of content they provide. The iPlayer service is brilliant in it’s simplicity. No extra charges, you can stream straight off the page, you don’t have to sign up or download a DRM laden player. It seems to be extremely popular too, based on the statistics they’ve released.

The Forgotten Defenders
This was done for a little zine project that Jack Richardson is working on. The rules were it had to be on the themes of British, 50+(age) and three. Other limits were black and white only and had to fit on A5.
As I had already done the Vulcan stuff I’ve posted earlier, I immediatly knew I wanted to do the V Bombers. I started work on a kind of mash-up infographics poster but I got bogged down with it and felt really limited by the lack of colour. So in the end I played to my strengths and did a layout composition. Once I got going it was a lot of fun to make, although I spent most of my weekend on it – it definately was a change from making websites for clients.
I tried to recreate the style of some of those military adverts from the 50s, and if there’s one part I particularly like, it’s the mix of spaced out caps, then tighter italics underneith under the weapons.

Another Cold War design
One page of a design I’m working on for a friend’s zine. The themes are Britain, Three and 50+ Years Old, so I’m going for all three. I’m working on a second page.

Top Gear vs Fifth Gear infographics
Daytime TV is generally pretty awful so I find myself switching to this channel called Dave which broadcasts Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes throughout the day. I didn’t really rate the latest season of Top Gear but I can still happily watch the old episodes but I just find myself switching over whenever Fifth Gear comes on. It just seems so repetitive – how many crash tests do we need to see repeatedly from several angles in slow motion until we learn that newer cars are safer than older cars? Plus the head to head where Tiff drives 2 cars round some racetrack. Today it was two vans – I mean come on, Top Gear did that fantastic piece about racing a Transit around the Nordschleife and this was the best they could come up with? I know the BBC has some amazing licensing system which allows them to play any music they want, but surely Fifth Gear can manage something better than the horrid stock music that’s played in every episode? So I put my frustrations into a couple of infographics:
