Ten posters, ten days.

This was a really difficult project, each morning we were sent a one line brief to turn into an A1 typographic poster. I chose to hand do them mainly to save costs, but I also really enjoyed playing with ink and paint again! 

The topics were: 

-Newspaper headline

-Text message

-Piece of advice

-First line of a book

-Overheard conversation

    -Political slogan

-Idioms

-Footnote

-Last facebook status

-Song lyric.

Kinesthetic Empathy

A week long group film project with Alex Ruben. 

 

 The footage we used in the exhibition is from a video tape I found on the street near where I live, it was titled ‘Nans 105 christmas 93’ I had no idea what was on it. It turned out to be a news story about a lady called Elizabeth Polman turning 105, and a  short look at her life, how her family was involved in the police in London, and so to celebrate her birthday they gave her a ride in a police car. Shortly after the news it cuts to home footage of the family watching the cameraman and news reporters covering it. 

We re-recorded it and synced it onto two TVs, one showing the news report and the other showing the ‘behind the scene footage’ of all the family. We tried to recreate part of the sitting room having a sofa for the audience, a birthday banner on the wall and a table with flowers. 

Here are some pictures from the exhibition, unfortunately I couldn't  go but it looked brilliant! 

Some nice patterns from the book cover!

Re designing a library book cover.

I used a belly band on it, I know they can be a bit annoying especially for a library book, but I liked the idea that some one could take it of and just have the tile pattern on display and still know what book it is on their shelf. I like simple book covers aren't cluttered with reviews and bar codes...  

My attempt at making a harmonograph.

I made a very quick harmonograph to see how it works..it wasn't very successful! 

Harmonographs.

'A harmonograph is a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image.'  

I started looking at harmonographs after experimenting with different types of drawing machines, I like the way that beautiful shapes can be drawn without any interference from people other than swinging the pendulums. 

This is a Harmonograph:

It makes shapes like this:
