Occupy Bristol

One of our projects for communicating with images was 'sense of place'. We were all given a location, and then had to represent it in 3 images at 3 different times of the day. My location was College Green, and when the brief was set, it was when the protests began all over the country. I started to photograph the Occupy Bristol protests and used these for my project.

7 words

After our life drawing session, we had to choose a drawing we preferred and draw it 7 times representing different words. The words were; Happiness, Despair, Isolation, Confusion, Celebration, Order and Pride.

Life Drawing

We had a chance to do some life drawing at uni. We had to pass our books around every minute and draw ontop of someone else's work, which actually turned out to be a really interesting set of drawings on our pages. We then were given tasks to draw the models in timed sections, until we eventually had to draw the model in 2 seconds! It was a really fun activity and helped me to be less careful and picky with my drawings.

Typeface

I started to play around with my typeface, and think into ways of how I can represent it in my type specimen booklet/poster. I tried mono-printing it, which was quite difficult as I has to re-arrange my font so it was reversed.. and tired really hard not to lean on the paper whilst mono-printing the intricate detail inside! I also designed a quick poster, showing how the letters work together when in sentences and laid out.

Finished Fontstruct

After alot of working with fontstruct, I finally finished my reflection typeface!

First font

I created a font from a photograph looking into a reflection from glass. It was a long process but I've finally finished it, and now have the knowledge of how Fontstruct works for when I create my final idea.

Reflection in eyes

After looking into reflections in glass and water, I started to photograph the reflections seen in peoples eyes as the tears/watery surface creates natural reflections.

Reflection - water

From looking into reflections created within glass, I started to look into reflections from the water.

Found Type

(One) of my first briefs at uni is to create my own typeface, using the world around me to create original distinctive letterforms. I initially focused on the word 'reflection', and looked into glass to see which shapes and structures were generated. Walking around Bristol I took quite a few photos, which was also a nice excuse to wonder around town in the sunshine eating ice-creams!

D&AD New Blood Festival

I went to the D&AD exhibition in Shoreditch with my sister to see the range of Graphic Design student's work around universities in the country.. Rosie was actually picked to have some of her work displayed in UWE's tent which was really exciting!

Bristol UWE Degree show 2011

My sister has just graduated from UWE competing her Graphic Design course! Here are just a few pictures from her degree show..

Food Face

Came across these on a blog, and I think they are amazing! would have worked a treat for my fussy-eater-sister when she was young!
