SPAM!? wtf!

sooooooooooo when i though the work had stopped we got another project. :( not only that but when Tim gave us the breif I was like u havin a bubble. The breif is basically to rebrand what we know as the lunch meat SPAM?seriously though? There three possible breiefs we can follow either rebranding spam or there an illustration and motion interavtive brief. We just got a breifoverviewof Spam and what makes the brand Spam so wellknow and popular.So to be honest I dont get it but we have 3 weeks to get some research on Spam soooooooooo im on the meat.EASTERRRRRRRRRRRR:)

Filmmmm timeeeee:)

Ok sooo now all the projects handed in its now time to sort out my film:) I had the idea of using an umbrella and word lyrics coming out of the umbrella like rain. However when we thought about how I could realistically film this I thought of using fish wire attached to letters which dropped onto the umbrella like rain?!whether it would work or not i dont know but i would shortly find out:)?! Soo went in with the impression that I would use the blue screen and have someone holding the umbrella but I was kind of impossible when we needed someone to drop letters onto the umbrella. So in the end we used stock frame and took individual pictures of letters falling onto the umbrella and then speeded up the process. The lyrics came from the beetles song "All you need is love". I wanted to use this song as it linked with the Liverpool theme with the beetles, but also I just liked the idea of using Love as a theme as its kinda universal.:)xxx

freeeeeedom!well almost

FINAL HAND IN DAYYYY!;) handed in everything for the competition contest project. Presented all my work to Toby and Charlotte who seems to like my silly idea. They felt the concept and the way it had been designed worked well but however they both thought I could have been a bit more imaginative with the whole trophy idea. Charlotte suggested that I could have made the trophy by hand rather than used a gnorme but nevertheless the presentation went well :)xxxx

umbrellllaaaaaaaa:)

sooooooooo cam ein to do ma film 2day which I did finish in the end didnt really take too long but with the help of john , timmy and rukkkkk managed to complete it. My idea was to have the lyrics of the Beetles classic "All you need is love" falling onto an umbrella like rain. The idea was reeeeeeeel simple and the film was soo low budget as tim said 'its was that shit its good' lol.

Also completeed my final poster last nyt so gonna get it printed off after uni :). Sprayed my gnome last nyt which is going to be my trophyyy:). So basically all i have to do is my sketchbook which i havent done in ages sooooo that may take some time butttttt its paddys day tomozzzzzzzzzzz:)

The Sun always Shines.Its our fault if we dont think so:)

Todayyy went to the Alan Flecher Exhibition at the Cube Gallery in Manchester. Alans work was realy diverse as in he had done work for shop designs and then done wacky posters to calenders. He had been going for fifty years so i gathered he would have done quiet alot. My favourite peices from his exhibition was his bag design for a boutique called 'Flora' in London. However what caught my eye the most was these simple posters. The imagery to me was to good but the phrases were what stood out.

African born, the son of English migrants who moved back to the UK when Alan was five, Fletcher didn’t invent graphic design, but his contribution was to pioneer the modern British design industry as we know it today. Educated at the Central School of Art, the Royal College of Art and Yale University’s School of Architecture and Design, Fletcher made the most of his studies and was the co-founder of what became Pentagram – easily one of the most respected design houses of its type. Before his death in 2006, Fletcher was often quoted as saying that design was ‘a way of life’ that encompassed every creative outlet.

Shes soooooooo gonna kill us!

Soooooooo today had a lecture about the pathways were gong to be chosing later on this year ready f0r next year. Rob and Tas gave us a breif overview of the illustratio and graphic commnication pathways. I figured im gong to chose the graphic communication as one i cant draw and two I see myself going into advertising and designing rather than being an illustrator but u never knowwwwwww! So anyhuuu a third year then did a workshop with us on how we can bring our interests into our work like fashion, music, etc. We had a quick mind map of everthing we felt inked with fashion and graphics and then moved on to designing a letter A wit different media like paints, crayons etc. It was gong pretty nice until ruk got bareeee carried away with the yellow paint! The girl realy did look like he wanted to kill us all:(.

sunnny jimm!

Felling hot hot hot! Went in to see if Jules could help us out wit the poster designs I tried as they loo rather poo! Had ago anyway and heres a few but still not finished. Also need to sprya paint ma gnome for the trophy:).

Also came up with an idea for my bluecoats film I had the idea of using am umbrella in which lyrics would fly out of when I open it. Had alot at other film makers and how they use everyday things to make them seem like something eles for example paper into water.

Which is my idea exactly! could use paper to create raindrops falling onto the umburella whcih then unfold to become the letters which the make the lyrics :). We shall seeeeeeeee.

Throw ur gnomee!

Okkkkkkkk i loveeeeeee my gomes ryt but i started to bare smash them in my garden and take picturessssss for my posterrrr! Had a few goesss at poster ideas wanted it to be simple but have a retro fell to it and also the colours had to all blend together.

For my trophy im just goin to spray paint one of my gnomes and varnish it and place it on a stand:) ekkkkkkkk

Smash my gnomeeees tho:(

OKKKK DAD! soooo was thinking about my competition idea and came up with a banger with help off tobyyy:)! Gnome throwing comp!:) I wanted to keep the small theme but something not too serious but that I could work with! Spoke to timmy about it an he said get some gnomes and smash them as obvs the competition involves throwing.



Also went to the people industry musuem today as apart of another new project were doing to design our own apron for the hubb. We hav to design an apron with something on it that we feel strongly about which could be serious or silly. Anyways the museum was pretty cool had puppets and a badge making machineee!Also had cool stuff like posters which was to give us ideas for the apron. W e thought it would be funny to base ours on the Taz chocolate bar which got changed to a caramel freddo!:( not happy at alll!hehe
