Contrast

For one of our last projects we had to design a logo with the theme "Contrast", starting with lots of sketches and then taking them into Illustrator.
I found it really challenging in the beginning but then I started to really enjoy playing around with colours and repeating simple shapes.

Final draft of my Semester 1 portfolio, which I handed in this morning...

Pinhole Camera

For this week's project we had to make our own pinhole/matchbox camera and take two sets of photos (a digital one for each film photo we take). I'm pretty sure we have to present the two sets on Monday morning so I made a PDF last night :)

Presentation

I have to make a presentation in about 2 weeks time of all of the work I've done so far at uni and talk about it in front of the whole year group!!! :O 

Freaking out a little because I'm nowhere near finished with it and I've been so so busy lately..

Uni's been quite good so far, we've had about 3 Typography workshops which were quite intense and I learned so much about typesetting, the anatomy of type and also how to use InDesign..

I have about 4 projects running alongside at the moment and Contextual Studies exam in a weeks time to  worry about... so yeah. *Taking a deep breath* Wish me luck!

Word pairs

One of the projects we had this week was a typography one and we had 5 different pairs of words each that we need to represent using typography on a piece of paper.

I thought about making the letters look like the word and then I decided to swap them around in each pair and this way they will actually be connected even if you move the words around the sheet of paper.

These are some quick sketches that I made :)

First Week in Epsom

Hello world!
It's been over a week now since I moved here. Last week I had a pre-entry course for 3 days and one of the tasks we had, was to make some sort of presentation showing the connection between a word (my group's word was 'Spiritual') and Epsom.
We found it really hard because we didn't want to go for the obvious solutions but at the same time there wasn't much going on in the city and so we got really stuck half way through.. We then decided that if we can't find anything spiritual then the best thing we can do is actually make our own marks and hidden messages. This is one of the videos we made in the park outside the university:

This is one of the illustrations I made today using a photograph of my granddad I took last year.. I don't actually have a clue what I'm going to do with it but I thought it was quite cool and he kind of looks like a gangster here haha

Also, I accepted my place to do BA Graphic Design at UCA Epsom this afternoon! It means I'm going to be living away from my parents for the first time and I'm so scared but I'm sure It's all going to be worth it :)

Portfolio work

I though I'd share some of the work I've done for my Uni interviews portfolio:
These two are from a project called Envirotype, where I had to choose up to 7 words and insert them in an environment..


And this one was a 1 day project with a theme "Open/Close"
