Grey Matter Printing

Grey matter is our online store to raise money for our Degree show. It is made up of designs submitted from the students in our year, which are then being printed and sold on T-Shirts and Tote Bags in the online store. Check it out here!

Here are some photos from the first batch of screen printing the t-shirts and bags.

Make Museums Sexy

Project complete and submitted for the MPA Roses Student Awards 2010. Collaborative brief worked on with Stuart Talbot, check out his blog at www.stuarttalbotillustration.blogspot.com.

Task to 'Make Museums Sexy'. The concept for the promotion of museums was to use the five senses of the body, 'Stimulate Your Senses'; in order to make museums appealing to the public. Focusing on less well-known museums in the UK, each artifact from a chosen museum represents one of the senses. The artifacts have been photograph in order to attract the viewer to the campaign and are accompanied by seductive typography to indicated why people should visit a museum.

Scale Poster

Here is the final piece for the Scale project I started last year.

"Measurement Is Vital For The Existence Of Scale"

The organs that I posted before have been placed into the human body and the diagram has been filled in around them. The final print is A0, however I have only been able to add a small image of it below. It would have looked wicked larger though. The body is displayed in the vernacular of an Architectural drawing, complete with Key, Scales & Information Bar. The organs have not really changed that much since i last posted them, however there are some closer images of the drawing too, which makes it easier to see the level of detail. Enjoy!!!

Blueprint

Further to the first production of my Self Promotion Blueprint. Here are some still-life photographs of the Blue Objects I made that appear in the blueprint. I find them really interesting to look at and hard to believe what the objects actually are. You find yourself doubting whether they are real or not.

Derelict

The other day I went a took some photos at a derelict asylum in Northampton. It was part of some research that I'm doing for a project based on 'Urban Dereliction'. Although it was really quite freaky walking round the buildings and the fact that my heart was beating at twice the rate it would do usually; I did get some quite nice photos. Here are some of the shots that I took.

There was a basement downstairs in one of the buildings, but stupidly I left the torch in the car and just by looking down the stairs, it was pitch black from about the 3rd step! So I opted out for this visit, but gonna go down there next time.

Scale

First images from production of brief based around the word 'Scale'.

"Measurement Is Fundamental For Scale'

In order to communicate this I am using the image of the human body and the organs within. By linking one of the six architectural units of measure to one of the vital organs of the body; it communicates the fact that one can not live without the other. Each building that represents an organ will then include specific architectural symbols that support each unit of measure. Below are the single drawings of the organs, which will eventually become part of a full body diagram. The organs will be 'to scale' and in their rightful positions in the body; and I will also be filling in the rest of the human body shape to support the concept. The overall visual will take the visual nature of an architectural plan. More finalized photos to come.
