Aid's Day

My course was set the task of raising money for Wola Nani - A South African Charity that supports women and children that have been effected by Aids.

To track our journey and show our donators our progress, we created a blog, explaining what we were up to.

The video below shows our day.

The day was a vey interesting experience and a great sucess. We raised over £630 on the day, and the course total was over £7,500.

Uni Life.

The Drawing Project

This project began by each group being given 3 verbs. We were instructed to create a 'mark' by building a machine that involved the verbs. The images show our experimentation - the idea of 'Embossing' water. The video shows our final result.

________ Swing, Punch, Emboss

The Present.

Some of the projects I've been involved with since starting university.


________Type

We started with this shape, and turned it into a type-face, by scanning it in and  distorting the image, then searching for letterforms within the shapes.

 ________Space

Looking into photographing a 'space'.

The Past.

I want to keep a record of past work too - hopefully it will help me track some form of progress...

The following images are mostly from A2 Graphic Design and Art and Design Foundation. They were included in my online portfolio when applying for University.

________Void

Magazine spread based on 'The Void' - looking at the emptiness within the fashion industry.  Removing the eyes removed the emotion from the photographs.

 ________Twits

"The Twits" Each member of the group was given a chapter of the children's story "The Twits", with the task of animating and illustrating their part. 

 ________Plastic.

Exhibition project - exploring the negative side to plastic surgery. The reverse of the box holds a mirror instead of a model, and the phrases "Beauty" instead of Barbie and "Be True, Be You" as the slogan. 

________Photography

Photography - "Consistan Horizons"

Photography - "Colours of London"

 ________Typography

Typography project - exploring legibility within type.

Development.

The following images are from sketchbooks over the past year or so, showing development of previous projects.

Musings.

As a graphic design BA Hon's student, it really is about time I create a blog to keep a record of my work.

This is it :)
