Typography

here we had to make a 3D piece of type that said something about a given letter/symbol and typeface…i was given the question mark and Times New Roman and after a lot of research i focused on the origin of the question mark '?' which is believed to have morphed from the abbreviated latin 'quaestiō' (recorded as a 'Q' over an 'o')… then I tried to represent the typeface, one which was inspired by the founders of western society; the Romans, in the strengthening and supporting structure…

Package 100

for this brief we worked in pairs and each group were given 100 of a particular item. we had pills and eventually produced a jacket, that satirises overconsumption and dependance on painkillers within modern society - using pockets labelled with nonsense illnesses (such as a broken heart, designer's hump & cold shoulder) that are not real and therefore cannot be cured.

Home

photos of my home 2008 which has been in a state of mid-decoration for the last 6 years. I adjusted the exposure to exaggerate the feel of it slightly.

Identity

this was the final photographic outcome for my 'Home' project. i felt the sofa can act as a sort of microcosm of the house itself and the owner's personality; giving clues about taste, respect and habit; the misshapen cushions, wear & tare and stains from repetitive use and other remnants of the person such as the debris found behind and between the cushions. I took these photos just after moving in and was pretty horrified by what the previous tenants had left behind; banana skins, receipts, discarded documents, cigarette filters and coins weren't the half of it…it was interesting none the less, to learn a bit more about the goings on of the previous year.

guten tag!

...through the power that is procrastination, i thought i'd share with you some work and 'stuff' in general that i've come across and have been inspired by; along with a few projects i've been working on myself.

hope you enjoy. x
