Design updates:

Website design following the same brand style as I used for my business card.

Letterhead design for a covering letter.

Tweaks made to the wedding invitation me and Amy have been working on, cleaned up the typography and drew the heart accents properly. Planning on screen printing a limited amount using silver and mint green inks.

Smile for London on the tube

Second trip to London to see Amy's winning animation playing on the underground, we decided to view it at Victoria station as this was on our way to the Saatchi Gallery.

Great to see the animation in the environment of the tube platform on the massive CBS screens they have, also great to see it alongside the animations from Airside and Aardman, the latter being particularly good.

Proud.

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.

Kim Jong-Il looking at things

Kim Jong-Il Looking at Things hilarious blog that is purely about Kim Jong-Il looking at things.

My particular favourite: Kim Jong-Il looking at corn

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.
