Street Bikes Book

Patrick Best — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:59:23 +0000

The final project of my Foundation Diploma; a brief I wrote for myself about something or another. The outcome was this book containing a survey I had made of bikes locked up in the street in London, Berlin and Bournemouth. For my survey I photographed all the bikes I encountered, mapped their location, detailed their specifications and wrote a personal review. The book was illustrated with distribution drawings I made from my data. It was a pretty fun project really.

Crest style logo design for Deluxe BMX. Made to echo classic embossed headtube badges but printed on a foil sticker, providing a cost effective and stylish solution. The concept reinforces the modern aesthetic of the brand while demonstrating its reverence of bicycle tradition.

Addicted to Reading

A series of posters near faithfully replicating the first pages of novels. The outcome of a 2 week university project titled ‘Addicted to reading.’ The plan was to encourage the viewers of the posters to start reading and want to read on from the first page, thus using the addictive power of reading to broaden potential horizons.

The naturalistic filmmaking endevouring to make clear the honesty of this proposition

Real world typefaces

I don’t really like photoshop work that tries to fake the possible; these are real. The donut type was made during my foundation course and it took me a day to make and photograph the lot. I forgot the butter so they felt like rocks to eat. The allen key type was made from a key I found tidying my room. It is just a cut n’ pasted photograph.

Opening Night Party from Colors Shapes Sounds on Vimeo.

A promotional video for a club night run by my friends in Bath. The video was filmed at the opening night of their monthly club. The video conveys the carefree, social fun of the night in a truthful and natural way. It reminds those who went of how good a time they had; and those who didn’t of what they missed out.

oBmx is all sorts; but mainly a multi-user blog website that I update with the help of my friends. It is mostly photographs of bmx jumps, parties and Obama. The design develops as new things are required and is currently linked to a Flickr photo group and a Vimeo page though feed aggregation.
