Portfolio for Hand In Tomorrow

Portfolio so far for hand in tomorrow. Got some more photos to take for headline and for the year book i produced with Andy. But here it is. I decided to use full bleed images for the first pages of each project to give more impact

D+AD submission boards. Full bleed more impact

New Print - 3D BOOM

Work in progess. Promo print. Only a small edition of 25 will be made.

Done 10 so far ran out of money

Portfolio

After producing my boards for the FMP i decided i realised i made a bum move by producing them portrait. I'm happy with the layout of my website which scrolls horizontally and features primarly landscape imagery. So decided to produce my portfolio slides landscape. I've also received my box from Spink and Thackray so can get cracking with a really nice portfolio that is a little different to what some people have.

Influnce

Promo zine for Rinse. I figure you can't know where you are going until you know where you've been. This short zine showcases some images of different people/characters that have influenced me over the last few years.

Prints

In preparation for the end of year show i wanted to create some prints to give away but thats kind of changed with the tutorial sessions for the show i've had. I still plan on putting these online by creating a series of 3d prints to put on my store.

Website

Re-jigged my website with horizontal scrolling and a theme called down-quark. The theme involves the content been free and you navigate my clicking and dragging. I'm going to change it though so its horizontal scrolling but without a scroll bar it just does it. This will be the next tweak.

I Dress Myself - Nottingham

I arrived in Nottingham today and i've settled in quite easily. The internet works perfectly and is surprisingly quick. I'm looking forward to starting work but tomorrow i have the chance to explore the city some more and will probably upload some pictures.

Also the food is brilliant!

My hotel is right in the centre and the flats opposite looked rather nice. Nottingham may have a bad rap due to gun crime and it was chav/Lad central but so far its a wonderful city.

My first day at I Dress Myself revolved around the production of promotional badges. I was told the record was around 150 an hour, which later in the week i actually broke. So go me. It was my first time in using a badge machine and i was surprised at how easy it was. I'm going to invest in my own over the summer period to produce more promotional material. I've also got an idea for a new promotional print i want to make. More details to follow.

This thing below was a conveyor belt heater to fix inks used on t-shirts. It would be so ideal having one of these at uni although it does move pretty slowly.

I had the first time opportunity of printing packaging. Its something i've not done before. It was hard lining the 2 colours up when the folds kept popping up.

My experience is Nottingham was surprisingly pleasant and i learnt a lot. I was impressed with the work i'd done over the week and if i can be that productive at uni then i'd be on top form. I guess i'm just dragging my heels so to speak and have lost some of my enthusiasm for the course. I'm sure it'll come back soon enough.

I also acquired a list of contacts and suppliers whilst i was there and have started to appreciate the significance of recycling and producing eco-friendly work.
