Excited to share a logo design I made for BluePerch who provide funding for high-impact farmed animal advocacy projects. The logo has good contrast and comes with a HTML style guide. futurehorizondesign.net.au/portfolio/bl... #logodesign #animalwelfare #graphicdesign #accessibility #a11y #styleguide

I wrote a blog post about my experience learning braille for the last few years and a technique involving free software Diffuse for comparing transcribed files. futurehorizondesign.net.au/posts/2026-0... #indieweb #blog #blogging #smallweb #rss #webdev #accessibility #a11y #visionimpaired #braille

A sample A4 page with strings of braille letters: bide cadge cab cage decid, and meaningless alphabetic strings of letters. This is part of Lesson 1 from the UEB Training Manual.

For the May Inkscape challenge I made a seamless pattern of some citrus fruits. I hope you all like it. This blog post is about the Inkscape Seamless Pattern template: futurehorizondesign.net.au/posts/2026-0... #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

a seamless pattern with a saturated yellow background and a square tile of sliced oranges and magenta grapefruits with green leaves fanning out behind them. The view is top down to a rounded slice and uses highly saturated orange and brick red.

Sharing some old artwork because I don't hate it as much as when I first made it. It's a randomart, a visual way of validating SSH keys. Except I turned it into an Atari style weather forecast. #krita #atari #retrocomputing #retro #pixelart #linux

Weather Randomart with five large example weather made of double wide blocky pixels: cloudy, cloud with possibility of rain, cloud with sun, cloud with rain, thunderstorm. A randomart grid is overlaid over a closeup of the state queensland of Australia with icons scattered over the coast and inland in a diagonal. The icons include smaller versions abstracted yellow, blue, or cyan squares representing different types of sunny to rainy weather. Beneath it reads RSA 3072.

I made this early 2000s style vector graphic for the Inkscape March challenge "Spring". It's still open if you'd like to contribute! #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

A green field covered in dandelion flowers blooming, a circling arc shows the wind trail carrying the dandelion seeds into the sky. The dandelion seeds on the flowers are made using a repeating geometric pattern with blur and small opacity effects applied.

I made a pixel art lucky cat and a high-resolution vector version for the Inkscape February Challenge: Make a Retro Gaming Asset. Blog post in the comments. There's time left if you want to try it! #pixelart #ドット絵 #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

A smiling lucky cat with its right paw raised. It has a red ribbon around its neck with a yellow bell on it. It has magenta whiskers and claws, and its ears are red and magenta. It is smiling. There is a large vector version at 512px size and two small pixel art versions at 32px and 16px sizes.

I made an abstract artwork inspired by the style of Marina Vandra for the January Inkscape Challenge. It represents ocean creatures and primitive lifeforms. Hope you all like it! I'm trying to explore other art styles. #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

Portrait orientation flat-style artwork. Above and below are reef-like shapes with schools of fish arcing above and pebbles on the rocks below. Between is a light blue floor made up of coral with holes in it. Three elongated frames overlaid on top contain blobby cell like structures in the first frame, rain and pebbles in the second, and a low-opacity overlay on top. Beneath the third frame are floating embryo like shapes that look like question marks.

I wrote some first impressions of the new Affinity app. The main things I noticed were the app icons are harder to read and the app crashes on startup for me. Good news: you can have V2 and V3 installed side-by-side. futurehorizondesign.net.au/updates.html... #affinity #graphicdesign #uidesign

The good vibes when your new homepage passes the XHTML validation check on Nu Checker. Coding in XHTML5 is new to me but today I learned it's better for the role="navigation" to not be on a list element. So it's on a parent div instead. #indieweb #webdev #accessibility #a11y

I am a huge fan of the experimental music genre, electronic ambient especially like Enigma and Future Sound of London (FSOL). These album covers I designed were inspired by FSOL. #electronicmusic #bandcampfriday #indiemusic #albumcover #graphicdesign #photomanipulation

The artwork is a photomanipulation with a white, blue, and violet colour scheme. It is abstract and assymetric in composition.

In the foreground, three white feathers float in an arc towards a spot light like an orb. Misty white clouds float over an invisible horizon. Ripples like water lead toward the horizon, white against a textured background.

The background has a grainy and rough texture in purple and blue. Purple facets crack open to reveal a lighter blue behind it. The overall composition features contrast in colours and texture between the foreground and background.

A lower and right black strip has a barcode, track listing, and credits. The text reads: SIDE A, 01. Sinking Reflections, 2. Sea Shadows. SIDE B, 03. Lightning Wings, 4. Beginning Flight. The credits are in lowercase font and read: all tracks written and produced by LOST WAVE. Recorded at haunted expanse records, brisbane 2022. Engineered by VOID OBSERVER, cover by RHIANNON JEANS, photography and artwork by RHIANNON JEANS.

A mockup of a vinyl case with album art on the cover. The artwork is a photo manipulation with a psychedelic blue and pink colour scheme. In the foreground above and below the viewpoint are crystallised purple coral. In the mid-ground is a blue ocean with giant white swan feathers landing gracefully on the water. Trails of floating foam and mist hover closeby. The background is a pink sky with white clouds.

In the top left is the album name written in a script font 'Plunged into Clouds' in white. In the bottom right is the band name written in pink with a scratchy irregular script, it reads: 'Lost Wave'.

Here are some solarpunk themed designs I've made! 1) A graphic about climate change and the benefit of green roofs and green spaces in urban environments 2) industrial and futurist postcards about renewable energy sources 3) a booklet cover to encourage walking to public art spaces in Brisbane

Vector art with an asymmetric design. Flat style with different tones of blue. Batteries charge on the left with circuits leading to solar panels. Trees and a thermometer stating the temperature is stable is in the top right. A speedometer is at the bottom with years on it leading into the future. Buildings with green roofs are at the bottom.

A mockup of postcards placed over a light wood table. The back of the postcard is in the center with 4 illustration fronts arranged around it.
The back cover features a rectangular illustration along the top of industrial buildings in black and white.

The first front cover features stylised wind turbines drawn on a slant. The image is white for the turbines and sky blue for the background. An industrial segmented numeral 9 is on one of the poles.

The second front cover is the side of a multi-storey building from a low three-point perspective. An industrial segmented numeral A is on a wall and many solar panels cover the walls. The blue sky is visible to the left.

The third front cover is another side of a building with a stylised letter J with the sky visible above it.

The fourth front cover is another side of a building with a stylised letter C, this wall has a rounded corner and the sky is visible above it.

Hello Bsky! I'm a graphic designer and illustrator based in Brisbane, Australia. My background is in academia (psychology, neuroscience) and I'm interested in accessibility. Here are some recent designs I'm proud of. #graphicdesign #digitaldesign #logodesign #branddesign #a11y #branding #design

A chaotic composition with black and white dithered photographs and loopy type reading cloud nine. It features a parrot, a dove in flight, grapes, flowers like daisies, daffodils, sunflowers, clouds, an egg's nest, an eye, a tuft of grass, and hands reaching toward the sky and a skyscraper in the horizon.
