Location hunting...

I went for a walk today. A walk with a mission!
I'm huntin' locations.


This made me smile... this brother and sister were cycling along...


And then the little girl fell off. Below are her parents running to help her up.









As you may or may not be able to tell, I'm looking for places where I can photograph people from above.
I have found, I think, a good location, just the other side of Rottingdean.

With that in mind, I'm looking for 9-10 volunteers, willing to dress in dark colours, pay the £3.60 return bus fair, and all come and wander round at once while I photograph them from above.
Any takers...?
Anyone?
I'll settle for 7 or 8 volunteers?
No?

Oh never mind.
(Seriously though, what with assessments and all, I'm not expecting to get this done in time for next week when it's due. But I'd still like to do it some time after that, so if you are willing to help I'd be eternally grateful.)

You should visit the library.

I cannot express enough enthusiasm for libraries. Seriously... Books! Who can't love books? You can read about pretty much everything the world has ever bought into existence, and in libraries you can enjoy the magic of just browsing, learning new things, and enjoying the tactile qualities of books.
I decided to express my library joy in a rainbow poster, which relates to my rainbow shelving arrangements... I'm not 100% happy with it, I don't think it really communicates the message as much as I'd hoped... but it took a whole day in letterpress and lots of colourful ink mixing, so I feel I've put enough effort into it to make it worth showing.
I gave one to the library where I work and they made me sign it so they can put it up :) Awww!

Metro, complete!

You might remember this post from back in November... well, now it's finished. It's not perfect and there are a lot of things about it which annoy me, but I'm showing you anyway. My main issue was what image to choose for the main cover picture... I decided to go with a collection of images layered together to represent the transient, ever-changing nature of the news... but to be honest, I don't think it works very well. Oh well, here it is, anyway!

Distractions

Yeeeah, so I really shouldn't be doing this kind of thing at the moment. But I like a bit of light distraction from uni work! Another favour for The 405, a poster for their upcoming gig. You should go, if you're in London! The blue should be a lot brighter, I still haven't got the knack of saving nice JPEGs from InDesign.

Ok, opinion time.

After countless revisions, edits, discussions and debate, I've reached a fork in metaphorical logo design path.
It's time to start applying my logo (to vans, business cards, envelopes, uniforms, all that stuff), but I honestly cannot decide which I prefer.
So, here, for your viewing pleasure are two potential Royal Mail logos.
Which do you prefer?

Symbolism, Lorries.

More to come.

You're still reading?

Yeah, you're probably pretty sick of pictures of Royal Mail logos right now, eh?
Well here's some light relief.
It's still Royal Mail logo related BUT in some slightly more fun ways. Applied to a van, a box, and some sexy summer and winter uniforms! (Yes, Lowri and Daniel... those silhouettes are you, I do hope you don't mind being used!)




I'm so obviously meant to be doing the fashion course. That's some epic fashion illustration right there. (!)
In other news... This logo needs more changes after I spoke to a tutor today... basically, the colour, text and logo all need alterations. But it's OK... it's actually not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. I'M NEARLY THERE!
