This video is amazing, they have used the technique of extending the shutter speed of the camera and then literally drawing in the picture with light. This idea is used far to much for my liking, its taking the fundamental idea of photography (capturing light) and just extending it so obviously if the light source moves in the frame it would create a light stream across the picture. I feel that this is used far to much, especially in A Level work. Its a gimmick that unless used properly like in this case should not be allowed in the world of design. Fortunately the accuracy of repetition from frame to frame is very impressive. They have obviously spent a lot of time reviewing the shots in order to make the best possible result.

And its bloody ACE

Typography Breif

Create a Font for the numbers 0-9 so that the characters seem redundant.

This was a simplified version of the brief set and the following are my work sheets which lead me to my own font designs.










Unfortunately i do not have a picture of the final piece at this time but i will update soon.

Ashley Wood

Ashley Wood has illustrated many graphic novels (comics), his "Zombies VS Robots" writen by Chris Ryall is one of his newest projects, and although very dark and rough holds some of the best illustrations iv seen. His style reminds me of Dave McKeans work on Arkham Asylum.

Although some may find his work repetitive i always enjoy it because you can pretty much guarantee it featuring 1 or more of the following:

1. Robots.



2. Zombies.



3. A battle between Robots and Zombies.



4. Some breath taking art work depicting the most horrible things.




I also admire his work in Popbot and Galaxia and carnt wait to see what the future holds.

Previously I was a student at Winstanley College (wigan/manchester) I first started doing Art, Graphics, Media Studies and Photography at A level and then Joined the Foundation Course.

This course provided me with one of the best years of my life. I was working with some amazing people and left with a number of great friends who i never wish to lose. I had such a great time on the course I based my Final Major Project on the day to day lifestyle of the Winstanley Art Department Inhabiter's (AKA Foundation Students)

I only hope that i can carry on enjoying my work as much as i did making this.
