Went bookbinding in our last week of term with Angus boy hungover as a moose. It was so satisfying spending a day making a book instead of lying in bed feeling sorry for myself. I then stitched a geometric pattern onto the cover with white thread.
Im in the process of making a typeface using log slices. Above is a quick experiment just using permanent marker- going to redo with red arcylic paint and join the slices with brass hinges so they can fold out into a sentance that i havent thought of yet...
Doing alot of woodwork with logs at the moment in my brothers workshop. Found this guys stuff while looking for inspiration it is truly amazing. See more of his work here
Currently working on a project where we have to send 15 postcards over 15 weeks- looking into time and growth as a theme. Did a vector graphic of a log from my garden on Illustrator. Looks cool with the points highlighted
Bought a Polaroid camera with flash, manual, case the lot for 99p in a Swansea charity shop. Bargain! Anyway I drew the beauty and developed it into the illustration above
A very short, basic animation I did for our Anthology of a City brief. I havent used Flash much so there are several faults, including it being far too slow but hey

Had a brief on semiotics where we had to produce 10 images to represent a word of our choice. I explored reflection and designed Mirror Image, a conceptual picture book.
Each left-hand page has a reflection of the right-hand page as if it were a mirror. The pages are held at different angles, decreasing throughout the book. As the angles change the perspectives of reflection also change.
