AV Studio Poster —




Above is the poster designed across the group, the yellow side was designed by the students at Bath university, with the red side by us Bristol lot, everyone had to design an 'A' so the above is my 'A' and one of the Bath students 'A's, so that the poster can be interchangeable as well as read and understood from either composition.

AV studio —


Over the past week or so myself and 6 other UWE graphics students have been working in collaboration with some final year graphics students from Bath University, together we will be holding an exhibition at an old AV shop, the brief is to choose an object typically found in an AV shop and create art work or a project based around that object.

Yesterday we met with the guys in Bath to look at the space we'd be using for the exhibition and also to get our hands on the posters that were also collaboratively designed.
Workshop



Today myself and Jason hosted number one workshop of 4 at Redland Green School, the workshops objective is to inform our design for the signage and wayfinding systems, the student are the best source of knowledge about the building and how it is best used.

The students completed tasks over the hour and a half workshop, and produced some creative work that will be valuable for future direction of the project.

Clevedon, Poets Walk





Following the trend of place names in contrast to the actual place I visited Poet's Walk, Clevedon this weekend, Clevedon is the nearest seaside town to bristol and is a great place to spend a day, the Poet's Walk wasn't exactly what I expected but it was interesting and provided some pretty amazing views of the Seven Bridge as well as surrounding mud flats and cliffs.

Type experiments





I have been working on some type experiments in order to familiarise myself with the structure of letterforms and how to create them from a grid so that I can apply the method to upcoming projects. above is a grid structure I have designed so that all letters can be produced from each grid.

The workshop of potential design



I took part in Jono Lewarne's 'Workshop of Potential Design' yesterday, it was a great catalyst for my own work and a very enjoyable day too—nice one Jono.

Virgin Illusion



Funny little illusion through the door this morning, and I use the word 'Illusion' very lightly, this was probably received by 100's of 1000's, but I find the attempt to make the flyer look like a burst open envelope quite funny, the leaflet actually opens at the side like a book.
