The state of my studio space


Got some of the zine pages arranged here - including stuff from Kat and Chantal. Still waiting for Neil to finish his before we start trying to work out the layout. Hopefully will be finished in the next week.


My wall in the level two studio. It's getting pretty full of posters and prints now. Might have to get rid of some of it to make space for the new bits and pieces on the way from the D&AD project.


I printed my initial poster design on beige sugar paper, looks nice in the 'flesh'. Slightly wocked. I also did some overlays with a few different colours, trying to come up with something that would look completely different when you look through different coloured acetates. More to follow.

D&AD brief fumblings

I'm pretty screwed at the moment in terms of my D&AD brief. I've been struggling to find a subject to base it on, related to the subject of 'resistance'. I really like the style of propaganda posters, and the work of obey/go media etc. I kinda want to combine this with a bit of drawing if possible, and mix up my processes a bit. If I have time I want to do some screen printing and overlaying, perhaps including colour and hidden messages.

This specific design is a little poke at the frustration and annoyance caused by the abysmal printing system at the university. honestly, for an arts-based uni we should have a much, much better printing system that actually churned out some nice prints. It's vital for us, but it seems the uni is more interested in taking our money and rodgering us with champagne bottles. We will have to see if we can do something about it.

I want to make some red acetate glasses too....
