The beginnings of a re-brand

Initial ideas for new self branding, working currently on the business card and getting some kind of logo sorted.

Eventually will have a business card, website, CV, covering letter and maybe something extra.

Currently working on...

Working on a small side project with Amy to design her sister's wedding invitations, going with green and silver colour scheme and a minimal design as this is reflective of the couple's tastes.

Then with the heart at the top of the design we will be having two thumbprints from the couple which fit together to form the heart shape. Little personal touch

Forgive my hand drawn hearts, better ones will be designed!

Smile for London Launch Night

Me and Amy went to London for two days on the 13th January for the Smile for London launch night at the Museum of London, which was for a competition that Amy entered and was chosen as the overall winner! Pretty surreal for her and got to schmooze with some designer folk.

Then we had a nice peruse of Camden Town and spent a little too much money, it's hard not to in Camden.

Have you been swapping?

Here's what me and Amy have been up to recently, lots and lots and lots of work for our community project.
Made interactive posters, gift tag leaflets, regular leaflets, small viral presents and screen printed giftbags for people who have swapped to take away!
Been crazy busy, stay tuned for the final video edit of all of this.

Screenprinting!

Last Monday we had a screen printing introduction, crazy as I’m a 3rd year. Such a shame we’ve not had access to this before, or been aware we have because we had great fun making some simple prints using simple paper stencils and luminous green paint! Now myself and Amy want to frame this baby, lovely a2 print goodness.

Recorders by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Photos from an interactive exhibition called Recorders at the Manchester Art Gallery by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

Amazing works which used heartbeats , sound, scanners, communication and projection to create an immersive experience.

AM/PM

Just finished this brief for uni, we were asked to take the title AM/PM and either create a title sequence for BBC4 or as I chose to create an interactive kiosk design.

I took this and adapted it to an installation based on the idea of space and time. I then decided to create the installation for the science museum as a way for kids to learn about the solar system, called "Solus". The installation puts you in the position of the planet, the interaction involves you walking on the floor interface and when you stand on the name of a planet it triggers the sun, represented by a wall of light, to be brighter or dimmer depending on which planet you have stepped on. Then at the same time the temperature of the room changes in accordance to the planet you are stood on

Then this is a video animation of how the floor interface changes when you step on a planet and trigger the interaction.
