Materials Workshop - One
We had a Materials workshop lead by Matt Wingfield.

http://www.mattwingfieldstudio.com/

he's done some pretty cool window displays, worth a look.
i found these silkscreen prints of his, i like them lots.


the workshop was about vinyl use though, not silkscreen.
Matt was nice enough to give use a load of free plastic to play with.
i'm still not sure what to use if for, but here's a rubbish iphone photo of me marking our table territory

Materials Workshop - Two

Project 11 - Art of the Accident Intro- Joint Graphics/Illustration
(part one)

We were put in groups and we have to choose one of the themes from a list with where given to help explore the idea of "art of the accident"
i'm unsure as to whether or not we finally choose a title but i these ones fit best...

Create an image(s) developed from ‘happy accidents’

OR

Utilise materials you have never used before

OR

Use some familiar materials in a less familier way.


we were went to the pound shop and got some candles and played with melting and burning.
and we used ink and water to create interesting "accidental" outcomes.

(thank you Matt for the photographs)

Library Brief (Graphic/Illustration)

We had to create a poster advising/promoting the Library aimed at students. I decided the two things I love is cake and free things and so surely other students do? Someone told me once that the best way to get someone to do something is to trick them, someone also told me to keep things simple. I thought I'd listen to both.

the poster should read,

FREE CAKE*
from
ST PETER'S LIBRARY

*BOOKS


i forgot to say that this was a live brief and i found out that my poster was one of the lucky ones to win! wooooo.
so if you attend brighton university, you should see this up in the corridor soon.

Project 10
- 'Is It Not Strange?' Stories

We had to pick one stories from a list of strange news stories that you would believe to not be true, but are in fact true.
I choose the story of a 'Tiger found in a Harlem Flat' to loosely base my project on.


here are some tiger faces

I had a letter press induction. i really enjoyed it.
