see i've always been this funny.....

just looking for some photos on my hard drive and i stumbled across some pics of my old college work, i think this one sums up the whole of college for me, as one of my tutors always said that my work used humor very wisely...

i was just havin a laugh myself

btw the project for this was a branding and packaging thing for a burr puzzle, i even made the puzzle myself!!

a few photo's i took on my zenit while hanging around in the studio, the third image is fairly brown because the film was actually nearly a year out of date!!!

i like taking pictures when people don't realise it and they're really into what they're doing so don't even notice me!!

playing with clay was never this complicated before.....

so this is what my saturday morning looks like, making rockwell letter forms out of clay.
i'm using oven hardening clay so that i can bake it and possibly make casts from it when it's finished.

Home is where you brand yourself....

Lately i've been working on my self branding for my professional practice module, shown above are a number of my business card ideas.

(front of card shown on the right hand side, left hand side is the reverse)

As you can see i'm just trying to play around with the layout using the logo at the minute.

as always comments are welcome!

new work....eventually

here are a few pieces from my ISTD 100 project which i'm on at the minute, basically it's typography based and the theme is 100. i'm working on a 'type kit' hence the bottom image looking like an airfix kit. the layout is based on old typesetting drawers used in the days of printing presses, these drawers contained all the characters to be hand put into the press, i had to adapt them to add some more sections for the 100 bit (shown are 2 0f 3 pages)

The day(s) the UK stood still

After the days of snow that have affected the whole of the UK i went and took a few photo's this is the pick of the lot in my opinion.
i then went on to go crazy with the photoshop, just to clear my mind from the mammoth of an essay that has been sitting heavy over me!!

Everybody Loves Explosions

Fireworks at Leicester's Abbey Park, was a quality show, quite short though.
I really like the spot lighting on these photo's in front of the foodstalls. the more abstract images shown are out of focus shots of lights.
