Created by overlapping three different images, each one in a primary color, the resulting images are unexpected and chaotic. It’s only through a colored filter that it’s possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed.

Poogan's Porch
Poogan's Porch

Poogan's Porch is a one of Charleston’s oldest independent culinary establishments. A new look needed to pay homage to their well-known and beloved past, but also offer a cleaner, more sophisticated nod to its future. It needed to be distinct and bold, but in a laid-back, understated, Southern way. Friendly but refined, approachable but elegant.

A great piece of typography from David Quay. David always argued that beautiful type could be strong and expressive enough to stand on its own as fully-finished design.

‘The Mona Lisa’ for the Twitter generation. By Gary Andrew Clarke Leonardo da Vinci’s classic distilled, reduced & remixed down into 140 exact circular characters of colour. A work about the illusion of familiarity, inspired by Seurat & sitting too close to the TV. Makes little sense close up. Makes every sense from the other side of the room.
