Hi, my name is Adam. I'm a Graphic Designer.
Why fourcolourblack?
When looking to register a domain name in 2004 I quickly realised my name was quite well taken in every form, so my alias fourcolourblack was born. The term is coined from when four inks are used to make a rich black in the printing process. Ask any printer, and you'll get a different formula every time.
My Work
I like to be in full control of a design project, from the initial brief, right through the final artworking. I've found taking care of the details yourself, results in a much stronger final product. I work with other designers, illustrators, photographers, copy writers and web developers to deliver quality work on time, and within budget.
Although I've dominantly steered towards editorial design and art direction, I enjoy pure and simple graphic design or any creative opportunities that come my way. My fascination with paper is borderline obsessive, and getting my work from screen to sheet has become a meticulous process. This care and passion hopefully comes across in the work you'll see here.
