It all went a bit pete tong....but i like pete tong

So quite near to the end of the year (well 3days away from the deadline) i finally get some crazy plastic paper called grafix shrink film, with this you print/draw or cut whatever you want on it and then bake it and it shrinks into a smaller thicker plastic version, so i tried this with my frames from the 100 project (see earlier post) and unfortunately it didn't work, too hot i think, needs to be on a lower heat setting for a longer time.

BUT i quite like these crazy deformed type frames, i especially like the warped K, i can't really use these for finals my project but i'm still going to put them in.
it's a different way of looking at type as you normally see it in a very strict and regimented form.

Embossing the day away...

for my live brief from first term i did a project for A14 printfinishers in nottingham, here are some work in progress shots of two of the three final pieces, the first is a fox tail the second being a panda bear, these use emboss and die cutting.

A different sort of thing..

No updates as of late really because of the mega stress of trying to mock up final pieces for my portfolio all in the time of 4ish days, and i'm only halfway through now!!!!

shown below are a few pictures that i drew! yeah i know i drew them (well copied them from photos really) i do like the way i have coloured them, i did enjoy doing these and it maybe something that i will do more of in the future.

i will update more after the dreaded mock interview with some of my latest work.

New CV!!

after sorting my business card last night i restarted my CV so that it will fit more in with the design of the card. i've gone for a simple layout i might add a picture of a hand holding a pen at the end of one of the sections to fit in with the business card. shown here are several pictures from different angles, the last image shows the piece folded with the logo section slotted through holes in the paper so that it shows the logo on the front page and holds it all together as well.
