D&AD New Blood

2010-07-03T22:23:00.000+01:00

Had lovely amounts of fun down at D&AD New Blood in the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane. Despite it landing on the hottest week ever (possibly our only week of summer?) a good time was had by all, we had alot of interest in our stand and I have a few more possibilities of placements than I did before!

Exhibition up!

2010-06-06T17:44:00.008+01:00

Chucked out

2010-05-29T13:34:00.004+01:00

They've gradually been taking away the furniture from our studio but now we have officially been chucked out with all our belongings.. who knew we'd collected so much stuff in there! Only a week til the exhibition has to be hung! Eeeeeee!

Final Major Project

2010-05-29T13:17:00.008+01:00

For my final major project I am designing the identity and posters for a backpacker travel company. It's finally starting to come together and I decided to screenprint the posters, why I do not know, so here's some photos of that.... Just some more of the type to do next week.

Eh? Opening Night

2010-05-21T13:04:00.001+01:00

2010-05-17T22:20:00.005+01:00

Eh? An exhibition of contemporary illustration and design from Newcastle's fresh design blood investigating the very nature of the the question; the whos, whats, hows, whens and whys that leave us all mystified and scratching our heads.

This is exactly what student graduates are doing - leaving university with no answers, just a list of questions about the future along with many looks of confusion. Anybody have any answers?

Opening night. 20th May 2010, 6.30pm

Public viewing. 20th May - 31st May 2010

Electrik Sheep Gallery, 22 Pink Lane NE1 5DW

Neglectful Care

2010-04-26T14:35:00.002+01:00

There are claims that the residential care system in the UK has been failing for many years. It is a system where carers are invariably overworked, under-trained and under-paid. The overwhelming majority of people receiving residential care in the UK are the elderly who have increasing levels of fragility and dependence. This photograph aims to show the irony that at a point in our live when we are most in need of care, the system fails to provide this at a high enough standard.

Where do you get your ideas from?

2010-04-26T14:08:00.014+01:00

Here are the final posters for the Questions brief.

The Grange

2010-04-22T14:52:00.012+01:00

The Grange used to be a nursing home but it has stood empty for years after being burnt down twice. I've wanted to photograph it for ages so me and my friend eventually psyched ourselves up to go before they tear it down.

Saving Portobello Road

2010-04-04T18:47:00.012+01:00

Rushing towards deadline, these were just some quick (and not very good) photos of my limited edition book on Portobello Road. Better ones to follow.

Circle Equals Squid

2010-03-30T00:20:00.015+01:00

This is a collaborative project with Monica Tuffs, Will Vincent, Matthew Stuart, Keara Harris and Donna Wearmouth. This conceptual book documents the major stages in a squid's life. Throughout the book a circle represents the squid and changes in size and colour dependant on the squids emotions.

Lightbulbs on a Sunday afternoon!

2010-03-28T23:23:00.005+01:00

After some major costume improvements we did another photoshoot for the Questions brief. We have decided to focus on four answers for now, and intend to shoot others over Easter as and when we have time.

The first: 'I tend to get a sudden breakthrough of ideas.'

The second: 'I don't - they get me!'

The third: 'I get my idea anytime, anywhere - usually on a walk...'

The fourth: 'They find me!'

We need to do some re-shooting for some of them. Some pretty funny videos to follow (when I figure out how to rotate them!)

A day of screenprinting!

2010-03-26T22:41:00.001Z

For some reason I decided to screenprint the whole of my Portobello Road book (in 3 colours and back-to-back) - all in a day - madness! 12 hours and a pair of aching arms later... one completely screenprinted book!

Lightbulbs test

2010-03-22T22:22:00.000Z

I am collaborating on our new project with Amy Rodchester. The project is based around Questions and we decided to do ours on the question 'Where do you get your ideas from?' We'd found a quote from Alan Fletcher who answered 'I don't - they get me!' and so thought we could have a bit of fun with the images. Here are some quick mock-ups we did of how the images might look...

As well as some good 'uns of Charlie...

Portobello Road Illustrations

2010-03-18T23:01:00.012Z

Work in progress... Here are some illustrations I am working on for a limited edition book based on Portobello Road.

London Bound

2010-03-03T11:07:00.014Z

We just went down to London for the week on a uni trip. Despite it raining alllll week, we had a good time. There were some really good speakers at the 4 Designers conference we went to, including Mike Dempsey and the design company Thoughtful. I also had some useful studio visits at Webb and Webb and Fraser Muggeridge, who both do some really nice work. Here are some photos from the trip.

We spent alot of time in Notting Hill and along Portobello market for a new project we're working on. I would like to own this many books and tea cups!

Dissertation over!

2010-02-16T17:37:00.003Z

So the dissertation is all done and handed in! At long last I can get back to something more enjoyable.

Disconnected

2010-02-13T16:37:00.003Z

This is the final image for a project I have recently completed.

People with autism are often unable to connect with the world around them in the same way we do, resulting in impaired social interaction. Focusing on their inability to connect with people and their emotions, I wanted to demonstrate the disconnection they can feel in social situations. Some other shots from the studio follow...

Mooooooose!

Hello!

2010-02-13T16:19:00.003Z

Hello. And welcome to my blog. As the end of third year is looming, I thought it was about time to get this up and running like I've been meaning to for the past couple of years. Better late then never.
