Speaking from experience

The project all first years wait for, not just because after this we can look forward to summer, but because we can direct our own brief. Working in a collaboration with the mighty Jonathan, we have decided to focus on time-management. I'm still learning how to manage my time effectively, and our project will help 1st years to realise why time-management is important but its one thing telling them so we are developing items that will aid them to manage their time more effectively. So far we have developed our concept and went from superheros to a Tempus Fugit brand. After our crit it became clear that our original line of GET YOUR CLOCK OUT is the way to go forward.

Below are the designs for the widget which i created using Dashcode. and the starting point of our second attempt at a logo after Tempus Fugit, and a design for our booklet

t-shirt design



I like this t-shirt design, simple visually relates to our own t-shirt designs for speaking from experience, which are purely typographical

Kerning - from type for you


type for you

100 book 2 continued


100 things people have swallowed - book 2






Alongside the envelope idea i developed my book into a fully bound book, taking on the aesthetics of an x-ray envelope for the cover and the organisation of the chapters are the same as that of the envelope book i produced earlier. This has been an ongoing task to get the second book finished, as other briefs have taken priority. I am pleased with the outcome and from the final crit before, saying the envelope type book was hard to read, this one still fits well with th concept but makes it easier for the user to read. One downside to having the pages fully bound means the acetate pages cannot be taken out and put towards the light or a light box, so the 3rd idea i had was to create a series of envelopes with the sections in for the user to take out the pages and put up towards the light box - similar to that of x-rays on the light box when they are under a consultation. Having a series of envelope will make the individual sections easier to read. So watch this space, i hope i can find the time to see how this idea works out!
