What technique did he use?

From my most recent post I have been trying to find out how Shane Carmicheal accomplished the design of the of the first set of images shown in my last post. I have seen the technique used quite recently in a magazine called Computer Arts Projects, where the artist (which I have to get the name of and will post) used a technique of offsetting (by 0.5 -1 mm) the two layers of typography and lowering the opacity of the underlying layer thus creating this wonderful effect.

This students work http://www.viscombelfast.com/shanecarmichael.html, show really good examples of how to use color scheme in design work effectively, using also a nice layout
structure with good Information design skills.

I love the use of defined text and abstract techniques used to accomplish some of the effects produced in his work, The first set of images are a nice example of these techniques in practice.

Last night was quite an interesting experience!

Last night whilst in a club in Belfast I encountered a student who was one of the final year students at this years end of year show. Her name was Clare O'Toole, It was one of the most interesting conversations I've had in a long time, consisting of what work she was most interested in and how she was going to apply herself further in her field of design, It was of keen interest to me to learn about her stage of life, where she has just left Uni and how is trying to get a foothold on the ladder of the current design scene.

I had seen her work on http://www.viscombelfast.com/clareotoole.html before and was very interested how she approached work and her general outlook on things. Her main ambitions now in her career is to find work in the field of childrens book illustration (Money maker).

I found it very beneficial talking to her as I will be in her boots (so to say) in 2 years, Here is some of her work:
