New Blog

As part of my exam project I have started a new blog to help me organise my thoughts and research. Based on the quote from the Dalai Lama: "There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are temples; kindness is my philosophy." The blog explores the way that design uses elements of kindness in various guises.
Take a look at:

A Semester of Work: From Research to Ideas/ From Cool Grey to Hot Pink.

Self-Initiated Project.

A four week project to explore a subject of my choosing. I decided to look at a way of making people, 'Work harder of their food.'

'Under wraps' conceals one secret recipie within it's covers. Unveiled from underneath the black plastic are the ingredients needed.

Fast Food, Made Easy, 10 Minute Meals and Pre-packaged Microwave meals.

All of these are tag lines that appeal to busy people. However, it is my intention to slow food down for you. The book is designed to encourage you to work harder for your food. Whether this be working for a few more pennies, using a more complex preparation process or considering the image of food, through the traditions of a still life.

LOOK CLOSELY AND TAKE TIME TO DIGEST.

I miss you postcards

From a very tight knit family and living quite a distance away from home. I often feel a pang of homesickness. However speaking to them on skype bridges that gap. I find it interesting how the pixelated web-cam image of my family makes the distance dissolve. The postcards are a statement about the change in communication from the written, to the spoken to the audio visual.
'Sorry there is bad traffic' and 'I wish I could say I love you...in person.' shows the limits of technology.

Letter press poster.

Taking the fun out of the game. A fatalistic attitude that everything is 'written'.

Cover letter.

In a time of recession, where newly graduated students are finding it ever more difficult to get employment. I decided to use design as a promotional tool for a Business Management graduate. For jobs where employers are used to getting black and white blocks of text I feel like a little bit of creativity could potentially make the difference.
