The disposable memory project

Posted on twitter, I followed the link to 'the disposable memory project' where cameras have been sent out all over the world for anyone to take photos and send them back to the site. The results are really interesting to look through and find out where they've been.

Reading week.

Over reading week I took the opportunity to pop home for a little bit, being as I haven't been back since august. It was quite nice, had a day or so of doing nothing and did the usual visit family, get my hair cut.. (according the barber it had been over 3 months) have a bath, a roast, clean washing and collect some food. The typical student thing to do? On saturday before I came back, I went into nottingham and sampled some of its delights. This week has been the game-city festival, and they had Lego rock band on the main stage. It looked really fun, while watching you could play with lego at the tables in the tent. I made a Rocketcarship.. naturally.

That day the Designer/professional doodler Jon Burgerman of Nottingham had a sale in his studio to clear some space/move studio (im not 100% sure) and I picked up some gems! I got straight in but apparently people were queuing for an hour afterwards to get in.. I got a vinyl sticker..

Now happily on my mirror, such good quality and only £3! Should've took more moneys.

And this beaut! a Science skateboards x Jon Burgerman Deck. Ive looked everywhere for one and wanted one for literally years. A snip at £25 instead of the original £60

Yum. Hopefully he'll have another sale of remaining stock he has so I can pick up some more bargains.

The production Bible.

Should be called the production bible, so so useful and a really good basis for the print booklet + this module, makes everything really simple.

Every set should be like this.

Not really graphic design, but more interactive design to increase stair use. In association with Volkswagen (those clever germans) they turned normal stairs into piano keys. Amazing

I dare you not to enjoy this.

browsing in my leisure, I came across this gem on youtube. If only I knew about it in my first year for visual language! using a piece of software, recreating each instrument in a different colour for

Beethoven's 5th. Enjoy.

Simon's Cat

My girlfriend Sara, showed me for the first time. 'Simon's Cat' Initially just an exercise for the artist Simon Tofield to learn adobe flash. Becoming so popular, he turned it into a series of videos about his cat. I love the style of the illustration and the simplicity of the animation. And it's hilarious.

Goodbye loan, Hello Organisation.

When my loan came in, I invested in a monitor, stand, keyboard and mouse to expand my mac work load. It now means I have room for sheets infront of me, or a graphics tablet while keeping the fancy tech up out the way of mess. Its been so much more useful already even just for photoshop making a panoramic of some holiday photos. If you have the pennies, recommend it. The site on screen is www.graphic-exchange.com which is A-mazing. look it up and bookmark it..
