BAKE SALE!

To raise some money for our Design and Art Direction degree show in Summer, people are busily fundraising in many different ways! Obviously it's only fair that everyone does a turn; so myself, Isobel, Gemma and Kat will be holding an Easter bake sale!

Come along on Tuesday 16th March to the Holden Gallery from 10am, where we will be selling lots of lovely Eastery treats!

Such a treat

At last mister rob ryan's website has been launched! I'm such an avid follower of his blog...it's bordering on obsessive but I just love, love, LOVE his work. I kind of wish though it had been launched a few months earlier as it would have prooved to have been a huge help with the old dissertation. But hey, nevermind it just means I can enjoy gazing at his designs at my own leisure rather than for research! One of my absolute favourite pieces the he has created, was the 'cut-out dress' for British Vogue in 2006 it's just so pretty!

Well Done...

to my friend Lucy who has just received her first blog award for PrettyUgly. Her blog is brilliant and she's really good at updating it (something I'm trying my bestest at). Take a look at her portfolio and the gorgeous collection of scarves she has designed and made herself as part of her final graduation project!

My posts have been a bit hap-hazard at the moment, I really want to get into blogging as there are some really amazing ones out there and it seems they can create great opportunities for the publisher. So bear with me (as I'm still learning) and the appearance of the blog- I want it to intrest and grab the attention of anyone scrolling by...so fingers crossed I can make it look pretty :)

That Sunday Feeling....

Ahh such a nice Sunday nearly over and another busy week ahead! After scrolling through so many design blogs I've felt a little bit inspired to clean mine up and look a little more professional. There are so many things you can do which I have not yet discovered so it's time to have little play around with the layout me thinks, so here goes.... Like the above piece of fab hand written typography...I just want it to look nice!!! Definitely my new motto.

100 ways...to say HELLO

This project was one I kind of (and regretfully) rushed. The idea was to create 100 postcards which explore 100 different ways to say hello, this included different accents, sign language, braille etc. I hoped to then turn this collection of postcards into a series which would celebrate other methods of communication such as 100 ways to say I Love You and 100 ways to say Goodbye. Each of the postcards were hand-cut and were also an exploration into hand drawn typography. I wanted the hand drawn type on each individual card to reflect the phonetics of the word, however due to my lack of time I did not focus on this enough.
