Haute is the alias of Patrick Johnson, a Leeds Graphic Design student from Birmingham. He often creates photographic scenarios that explore personal interests ranging from forests and fiction to Turkish traditions. In the first issue of ‘Cache’; a printed blog Patrick has in the works to house anything he’s working on or interested in, including writing and hopefully featuring other artists and designers in the future.

“I’m finding myself stuck between titles at the moment – Graphic Designer because essentially I love working with type, I want to communicate and anything I do will almost always end up in a printed form of some kind, but on the other hand I’m also a stylist and illustrator, I suppose because of the really personal nature of my work, style as well as subject.

I’m working on a number of final year University projects at the moment, including a large format book documenting the history of our new building as well as Cache. I work a lot with my friend Andy Callahan (www.andycallahan.co.uk) and we have a sort of collaborative-portfolio/working-partnership called Mount Milk  (www.mountmilk.co.uk) which we’re hoping to launch properly in the New Year. I’m also hoping to do some work with a small Record Label in California in the near future but that’ll only happen when it happens!
