‘With Love’ is a collection of quotes from friends turned into graphics using bold colours and calligraphy styled text. I like the playful, friendly nature of them and that they feel like an overheard conversation. If they are well received I’ll put them on my new online website 11RugbyRoad.com.
The sun looks like it might actually make a few appearances this summer! So in celebration, I’ve made a few postcard designs of classic British ice creams. Slightly more hot and steamy than hot and sticky. Possibly both.
Long live saucy seaside postcards, just with less fat ladies in swimsuits on these ones.
These short and sweet graphics serve as a warning and advice to those travelling to the capital. Life is hard enough, lets not make it more annoying…

Inspired by the original Sh*t Girls Say and a realisation that everyone is obsessed with the same things in relation to social media, I’ve designed a series of Typographic posters with phrases we don’t even realise we say. Any suggestions for more unintentional catch phrases people use daily?
Simple typography poster with what was going through my head. I also printed it on 100% recycled paper.
The Wack-A-Mole type board game used bright colours and five memorable faces that you had to smash in with a hammer. The 80’s/90’s game never made a comeback, but my love of the design slicked (with an unhealthy obsession with pink and green together blamed on Whack Attack).
I’ve created vector designs for each of the faces which I’ve turned into posters, t-shirts and iPhone wallpapers. I love their simplicity and their emotive monster faces are perfect for Halloween!
The t-shirts are available from my t-shirt store at danmackey.spreadshirt.co.uk

Here is the hottest new iPhone 4 & 5 wallpaper to have at the moment (Use Whack Attack as your lock screen!)
I wanted to follow-up on a previous post on typographic posters I designed to play around with printing techniques on black. This time I have optimised them to view on the web to make posting them easier!
Normally I like design that is easy to appreciate at first glance, with an upbeat feel. For these posters, the ‘Shy’ theme is a bit more gloomy and dark with the message being hard to spot.
Ideally I would have liked to make this set in white to contrast the black series, with Spot UV text, but for ease I have gone for the print designers favourite, CMYK.
I created a recruitment poster for a ‘Lonely Hearts Club’ inspired by a Marina and the Diamonds song on the album Electra Heart.
A quick simple project for fun that plays on lyrics from other songs. No new members as of yet.
(spot the typo…)
Have meant to make these for a while as been written down in my little ideas book that normally gets filled before I go to bed.
Living in the middle of nowhere I find it difficult to explain where I’m from to most people. This little series goes to show that there is life outside London in the south east.
They’re not 100% finished…
