Memories

Next project has started, and it's based on memories.

I had to double check with my older brother to make sure it was actually real and not just one of my dreams I confuse with reality.

My memory is from when I was about 9 or 10, and my best friend had come to stay in our boring little village. However, we always made the most of it even if it meant dressing up as witches in the middle of Easter and prancing round the graveyard.

We took a little adventure into the fields, and found an old barn. The barn was pretty boring, but behind it was an old rusty crusty caravan, surrounded by nettles and a big tree with a swing attached.

We had a play on the swing and debated whether or not we could dare go inside the caravan, I'm glad we did... We found old photographs of a family, and specifically a couple of young girls playing on the swing. Old diaries, and books, and horse riding equipment along with a oil pastel drawing of a horse. Pretty creepy huh?

Visuals will hopefully be appearing soon!

Saturday Night

Mine and Becky's artistic talent shining through on a Saturday night.

New Camera

Yes, this is where I live.

Yesterday was a beautiful day so Mike and I went on a little stroll to the beach, followed by an unexpected adventure through the jungle...

But here are just a couple of examples of why I'm so lucky to live in Falmouth :-)

Endangered Languages. Finally done.

This is the presentation of all the work together

I'm glad it's completed now, bring on the next project.

Endangered Languages continued...

This will be continued a few times i'm guessing.

But next is the coupons that will be featured in the goody bag.

I'm happy with them, my tutor was not.

Endangered Languages

I chose a Russian Language called 'Ket' of which only about 100 people speak now in the world.

We have to promote it somehow, so I chose to promote it to students by making a language class for students to sign up for at Freshers Fayre. To make students sign up for this, they get a free bag of goodies with it. Like Vodka shot coupons, maybe some Russian Beer, a fold-out poster etc.

My brand is called 'get some ket' - again to appeal to students by making them think its about something slightly different to an endangered language...

This is my logo for the brand.

Hansel and Gretel

This was one of the first projects I've done whilst studying Graphic Design. Everything will come in a slightly disorderly order, which I apologise for.

We had to illustrate the Hansel and Gretel story without using the typical figures in 6 sketches. I created a fuzzy felt toy thing for children so they could play about with the scenes themselves.

Schadenfruede

This is taken from my final major project during my Foundation art year. I wanted to do something you couldn't miss, so I recreated crime scene photographs from the Ted Bundy murders and then made them into an exhibition/installation project. This included 4 photos of each girl he murdered, two different posters, flyers, tickets, and then also props (the rope they found in his car, handcuffs etc).

Schadenfreude means the pleasure derived from others misfortunes, so by making this into an exhibition I could see peoples reactions and record it.

Some were not impressed... But that's good, right?
