Pangrams

Our next set brief is all about pangrams. No quick foxes though -

i'm looking for boxing wizards or big japanese devils.

'Embedded Thoughts' screenprint

Idea for my poster reflecting 'embedded thoughts'. I went to Beijing last summer, and havn't stopped thinking or talking about it since. Although i spent 2 weeks there and saw so much, the majority of the memories are based on the photographs i took, so i'm gonna make a photocollage screenprint.

Final Cut project

Titles created for a short film surrounding this years eca fashion show, complete with unauthorised use of Foals' "Balloons".

1 day project

1 day colour project to create an image dipicting yellow, by using purple. This was the solution; taking the usual yellow "Caution - slippery when wet" warning sign, and creating a purple one that conveys the opposite message, refering to purple being the opposing/complimenting colour to yellow. Where yellow says 'caution', purple says 'take it easy'.

A1 Screenprint

Meadow Lane

These are some initial images surrounding an investivation into type on a given Edinburgh street. My Street is Meadow Lane: a quite backstreet, mostly housing garages and lock-ups. It seems to be a graffiti hot spot, which makes up the majority of the type along the lane.

Berlioz Poster

Poster design advertising a series of lecture talks on Louis Hector Berlioz.

When thinking about the design, i was considering the way in which the poster would be positioned and seen by it audience. This idea of the poster only really making sense when it is pasted up in multiples side-by-side, was inspired by the way that fly posting often involves many identical posters taking over an entire strech of wall. Although, the design also refers to Berlioz himself, as he was a pioneer in utilizing large scale orchestras (over 1000 musicians). The large number of posters used to display the event reflects the way in which Berlioz used a large number of musicians to perform his music.
