Rory Wilmer and myself have decided to create our own design magazine. Contributors to have to put their work through the 'Filter' before publication, thus ensuring graphic continuity throughout. Above are a couple of examples of my contributions.
I'd just like to leave a comment about the magazine to further warn graphic designers and artists of the pitfalls of working as a freelancer. In this case, we were given carte blanche to come up with a design and graphics magazine by King Ink publishers in Sweden. After several weeks of rR & D, contacting photographers and designers and looking for appropriate workshop space, the magazine left us high and dry and refused to pay us for any of the work we had done. I am in the process of litigation with this company.
Aidan Hughes was born on Merseyside, England, and was formally trained by his father. His influences include: Golden Age comic artists Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and Jim Steranko; Russian Constructivism; the Italian Dynamo Futurista and the work of woodcut artists Frans Masereel and Lynd Ward.
Hughes began publishing his own comics before embarking on a commercial career, producing illustration and storyboards for clients such as Warner Bros., the BBC and The London Evening Standard. In the 80's he began a long-term collaboration with industrial band KMFDM, created BRUTE! pulp magazine and worked extensively in radio, TV and the media.
Hughes' other work includes: graphic design, short film making, computer games and animation.
