http://www.nineteenpoint.com Independent graphic design from Simon Minter, Oxford, England http://nineteenpoint.com/ I've been busy, but on some projects that aren't yet ready to be featured on this website. In the meantime, I've also been working on a redesign of the Half Rabbits website, and the album cover design for Plantaganet 3's Modern Myths And Fairy Tales. http://nineteenpoint.com/posters/121210.php My good pals at Pindrop Performances asked for this poster for one of their forthcoming shows to reflect the tripped-out nature of the three bands playing. I seem to be in a psychedelic era right now, so I happily obliged. http://nineteenpoint.com/posters/271110.php Bad Dimension is a new, regular shoegazing/psychedelia/Kosmische night started up by some London friends of mine. They asked me to design a poster for their forthcoming gig, featuring Brassica and DJ Kid Who. I did so. Take a look at it here. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/posters Recently completed, three new poster designs for upcoming shows from Oxford promoters Daisy Rodgers Music Promotions and Pindrop Performances. A heady blend of serious alternative musicians, starstruck glamour and lovely, rich blue. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/online/oxford-voice.php The new website (and logo) design for Oxford Voice, a translation and voice recording company, has just gone live. The website was built using Drupal to allow for quick future development plans. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/posters Pindrop Performances have gone promotions crazy, and are putting on three Oxford shows in September. Here are my poster designs to promote them: Rowan Coupland, Cats In Paris and Eric Chenaux. See you down the front! http://www.nineteenpoint.com/posters Here's a couple of new poster designs I've just completed for my good buddies at Pindrop Performances. There's one for 'West Coast Old Skool Hip-Hop Legends' (that's what it says here) Ugly Duckling, and one for Oxford/London-based psychedelic electronic warriors Keyboard Choir. Please observe; please enjoy. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/music/psychedelica-4.php The fourth volume in Northern Star Records' Psychedelica series has just been released, and comes proudly wrapped in my cover design. The album is already picking up rave reviews all over the place, and is definitely worth some of your hard-earned cash. http://nineteenpoint.com/music/half-rabbits-from-the-horizon-to-the-map.php The Half Rabbits released their debut album last month, and it comes packaged in a design put together to continue the theme created for their previous EP. Their website was also given the once-over to mark the new CD's release. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/online/satsangi.php Just finished off the first phase of a new website for the band Satsangi. It contains all kinds of nice things - video, audio, a store, a gallery, yum yum. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/online/carson-films.php I've recently completed and launched the website for independent film production company Carson Films, the company behind feature film 1-2-3-4 along with a variety of music videos and shorts. http://nineteenpoint.com/posters/ Three new posters on site today, for some fine-looking upcoming shows: Ice, Sea, Dead People and Vixens from Vacuous Pop, the Psychedelica 4 album launch show from Northern Star Records, and Acid Mothers Temple from Pindrop Performances. Booya! http://www.nineteenpoint.com/online/oxfordbands.php Just completed a from-scratch WordPress theme design for Oxfordshire music website OxfordBands.co.uk. This is the first step in a series of refinements and enhancements I'll be working on for this website. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/posters/140510.php Here's a new poster design, for my pals at Pindrop Performances, to promote their forthcoming CocoRosie show (which I am very much looking forward to). http://www.nineteenpoint.com/posters/200310.php Just finished this poster design for Vacuous Pop, to promote a forthcoming gig featured the bizarrely, yet pleasingly themed line-up of Olympians and Young Athletes League. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/inspiration/2010/03/cool-wordpress-easter-egg-try-this/ Got a WordPress blog?

I'm very happy to have created the design and theme for this new release, which has been applied both on the CD itself and on their band website. http://www.nineteenpoint.com/inspiration/2009/10/firefox-error-page/ What does Firefox do when it isn't working as well as it could?
