The Art Direction, Design, and Musings of Bernard Barsley
My good friend Paul Duncan recently completed a year long project entitled “Project 365“.
He took a photo a day, using only an iPhone 4 and a wide selection of apps. The results are sometimes amusing, often touching and tell us much about a year in the life of a very fine gentleman indeed. It’s also worth following his twitter too, Paul has a knack of finding interesting stuff, certainly if you’re a tech junky like me.
Last thursday I had the chance to see my old chum Mark Wards exhibition at the Kemistry Gallery near Hoxton Square. And may I say, very good it was too.
“As Seen On TV draws on all of those influences from Mark’s youth, but turns them on their head by superimposing glossy icons onto images of banal, everyday British scenes, acknowledging the superficiality of that Californication but celebrating the nostalgia and also clinging to a little bit of hope that it might still be possible to find it, somewhere out there.”

Brazilian footwear company Melissa have used an amazing 350,000 Post-it notes to make this stunning stop
frame animation in São Paulo. Twenty-five animators worked for a steady five months to generate an ever-rotating
cast of images all captured on time-lapse video.
Hi, my name is Bernard Barsley, I’m a designer who lives in London and I love all things creative.
This site represents all my current work and I guess more importantly, gives me a chance to
highlight great work I come across in my day to day travels. I hope you enjoy.
First up is the stunning information design by of Frances Franchi.
I was struck by the level of detail in his work.
For more work, take a look at his website: www.francescofranchi.com
