They wanted to move away from their current look and reinvigorate it whilst still using the same architecture. They wanted the new look to maintain the warmth and life of a reggae label but with a nod back to the Trojan heyday of the 1960s. After looking through their extensive archive of photographs I presented them with a series of designs that focused on their rich visual history. The look of the website is inspired by old Trojan flyers, with the paper texture background and Trojan orange print marks. The banner at the top of the page is designed to be on rotation, featuring photographs of artists and album covers from back in the day. Although the designs were accepted, they have not been implemented due to financial restrictions. http://www.jordanchatwin.com/445893/Trojan-Records http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441677/Sleeping-House http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441677/Sleeping-House Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:56:36 +0000 Jordan Chatwin 441677 <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441677/jchatwin-sleepinghouse.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="476" align="left" /> Sleeping House Pencil drawing from a personal project: The Angel Honey Orphanage. http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441677/Sleeping-House http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441601/White-Heat http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441601/White-Heat Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:57:49 +0000 Jordan Chatwin 441601 Previous&nbsp;/&nbsp;Next&nbsp;(1 of 3)<img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441601/jchatwin-whiteheat1.jpg" border="0" width="495" height="700" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441601/jchatwin-whiteheat2.jpg" border="0" width="495" height="700" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441601/jchatwin-whiteheat3.jpg" border="0" width="495" height="700" align="left" /> White Heat Poster for La Shark's shindig at London club night White Heat. http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441601/White-Heat http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441324/Cadillac-Coupe-De-Ville http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441324/Cadillac-Coupe-De-Ville Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:31:17 +0000 Jordan Chatwin 441324 Previous&nbsp;/&nbsp;Next&nbsp;(1 of 3)<img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441324/jchatwin-cadillac1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="401" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441324/jchatwin-cadillac2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="401" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441324/jchatwin-cadillac3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="401" align="left" /> Cadillac Coupe De Ville Convertible, 1966 3 Colour Lithograph – red, yellow blue. http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441324/Cadillac-Coupe-De-Ville http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441325/Blog-News http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441325/Blog-News Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:28:34 +0000 Jordan Chatwin 441325 Inspiration <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/441325/khuan-eco.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="670" align="left" /> Khuan + Ktron "...our commissioned work is mostly focused on arts, culture, education and other non-profit causes, in tune with our particular lifestyles and anti-consumerist convictions." www.khuan-ktron.com www.flickr.com/photos/khuan Harmony Korine ( + Werner Herzog + A Silver Mt.

That exploration is something I truly enjoy in design." www.alextrochut.com News 20.07.10 Influenza The show was a huge success – hundreds of people at the private view and nothing but praise and celebration. It was great. All the work and stress was worth it I think, but it didn't end there... After taking the show down, attending our graduation ceremony, and finishing a couple of jobs, Friday night I went for a meal with my family – the first night in probably over a year where I literally had nothing else to worry about, it was all over... And then I come down with the flu. Felt like a train hit me and knocked me out for the weekend. I'm slowly getting better... but I think (hope) it's time to take it easy for a while. 04.07.10 Build Tomorrow we start building the Save Our Souls show. We have a huge venue and loads of work to do but it's going to be the best degree show this year. There will be drawings, prints, paintings, sculptures, taxidermy, films, animations, a shop, a Sunday Market and even a raffle in support of Art Against Knives (with prints by the likes of Rob Ryan, Adrian Johnson and Luke Best). It's going to be good. 25.06.10 Result So we got our results yesterday and I've a been given a First Class Honours. It's what I've been working for all year and is more a relief than anything. Looking forward to working without ticking the boxes! 22.06.10 Camberwell Degree Show Yesterday was the private view of Camberwell College of Arts Degree Show. A brilliantly enjoyable evening ended by wandering into a sobering and slightly worn out house party at 5am. 07.06.10 Xiu Xiu Yesterday I went to see Xiu Xiu and Woom play in Brixton. One of the best gigs I've ever been to, both bands were incredible. Jamie Stewart is a massive hero, it was truly inspiring. I'm moving to California as soon as I can. 01.06.10 New Website I finally have my website back up and running! Better than the last one that's for sure. This time running on the Cargo platform – it's an absolute pleasure to use. I'll be adding lots of work over the next few days so expect to see something new if you come back. http://www.jordanchatwin.com/441325/Blog-News http://www.jordanchatwin.com/439969/Tate-Take-Over-2008 http://www.jordanchatwin.com/439969/Tate-Take-Over-2008 Mon, 31 May 2010 19:11:18 +0000 Jordan Chatwin 439969 Previous&nbsp;/&nbsp;Next&nbsp;(1 of 2)<img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/439969/jchatwin-tatetake1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="479" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11639/439969/jchatwin-tatetake2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="479" align="left" /> Tate Take Over 2008 Promotional material for the 2008 Tate Take Over: 3D Design.
