I designed this a2 sized poster more than 2 months ago, printed it a few times and put it in a cupboard where it was gradually forgotten. Last night I took some detail shots and cringed at my own narcissism.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be granted work experience by Hurley International's Sydney Office. I always assumed I would work in the Surf industry when I started my career so it was a great opportunity to see how the industry works and also put my foot in the door.

I was hanging out with illustrator, designer and all-round chiller Christian Halford who is responsible for many of the edgy graphics and prints that Hurley Australia produces.

Here are some designs that I knocked up during my time at Hurley. The theme - California, retro, fun, 50s Surf.
