you forgot to touch my soul

red paint, pane of glass and a hammer!

time heals all wounds

I created a new poster today using salt to spell 'time heals all wounds'..i placed it on a black surface so the contrast in the image was high..

as it is said that salt heals wounds..i wanted to put a different slant on it..the way the type is arranged and the perspective shows time moving away and passing...

fresh meet

This is the name that we have decided on for the name of our end of year exhibition..it suggests that we are new, fresh talent..like fresh meat..but plays on the word 'meat' showing that the exhibition is a chance for people to come and meet us for the first time.

I need to start brainstorming concepts for the design of a poster for the exhibition....to be continued....

booklet

I have been considering how to present my booklet of images and was inspired by a fold out map i saw. Instead of producing a regular book of images i think it would be more interesting to fold A1 paper into a booklet that folds out. This would mean that people at the exhibition could actually take a copy of the work with them. Also, i could experiment with juxtaposing different images. Possibly the back of the poster could be an A1 poster?

I need to re-visit my schedule and make sure i allocate enough time to get the project finished. The screen printing is going well and i am starting to understand the process better.

Screen printing

Today i experimented with screen printing and learn't the basics which has given me a good idea of what can be possible for my final pieces.

I have got the concepts now for each of my posters i need to just investigate how to best display the work in the form of a book..as i may do a leaflet that folds out.

For the end of year exhibition it would be a good idea to produce postcards with my work and details on to hand out to people visiting the exhibition...we need to come up with a name for the end of year exhibition...?

Alan Fletcher Exhibiton

I travelled to Manchester to see the Alan Fletcher exhibition celebrating 50 years of work (+ play)..i was particularly interested in his work in relation this project due to his use of handmade typographic work.
