About Tomato
Tomato, formed in 1991, also includes members such as Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, dance music idols of Underworld. While Tomato members are from various arenas, many collaborations and blending have resulted from such creative diversity. Recent works of Michael Horsham includes branding work for a new art museum in Italy, rebranding of the UK government body design for London, and a campaign for Chevrolet with Simon Taylor. Kendle, designer/film director, has directed numerous commercials, music videos, and film title sequences including Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting. His recent print work includes campaigns for Ford and the French act Nouvelle Vague. Warwicker, one of the original founders, has directed several film projects and consulted for the governments of Britain and Sapporo on creative industries. He has also written and designed two books with Underworld’s Hyde. Warwicker is the first foreign member of the Tokyo Type Directors Club and adjunct professor of Architecture & Design at UTS Sydney.
