Welcome to Owen Daily's Portfolio
A small selection of graphics including posters, books, promotional and instructional design.
Poster Design
Selected posters for Nomas* Projects. In 2013, I co-founded this experimental contemporary art gallery in Dundee City Centre as an opportunity to combine a love of art, community building, visual identity and in-house print and production. For more information about Nomas* watch our Pecha Kucha talk. Posters are A3 full colour short run digital, for distribution around Dundee venues.
Book Jacket Design
A small selection of book jacket designs... for CFP (1998-2001) Books are A or B format, Demy. Mass Market paperbacks, hardback and perfect bound Academic imprints.
Promotional Designs
Samples of Dundee College promotional materials (Marketing Department 2001-2011).
Although I have used mockups here, all examples were published, real-world designs.
Layout Design - Prospectuses and Books
I have produced long-form documents in InDesign, QuarkXpress and LaTeX. They present interesting challenges from a design perspective, where production speed and accuracy are essential. To meet these challenges I developed a system of collating prospectus content using MS Access, exporting to XML and automating layout the pages using tagged XML in ID. This brought tremendous benefits in production time, error reduction and integrated online and print production.

Art Works and Personal Projects
Video work
"Restoration" is a short film reflecting on nature and healing. Edited using Final Cut.
Artist's Proof: Gravity - A reflection of the creative process itself, and making peace with uncertainty. Part of my Master's in Fine Art degree show entitled "The Resolution of Opposing Forces".
City As Archive.
City as Archive was an 18 poster billboard artwork as part of the Dundee Common's Festival (2015) and the inaugural work for Sharing Not Hoarding. This artwork used it's location in Dundee's former docks and combined maritime references with the experiences of Dundee's marginalised young people I was teaching at the time.
Currently a work in progress, more to follow including web-development, non-profit work, illustrations and photography (as of 12 Nov 2021).
