Grid and Layout

I have been given a brief to re-design a magazine page layout.
In order to do this I had to deconstruct the existing page (page 36 Death of analogue – WTF Magazine).
My page was structured with 6 columns and 4mm gutters. I used the original grid layout of the magazine so that it would be suitable to replace the old design.





I have removed “analogue at a glance” because it is the start of the article. I wanted to improve its impact by giving it a title page style, and felt that the section “Analogue at a Glance” would be best suited on the next page with the “Digital Switchover” section…
The reaper was deleted because it was cheesy and I thought just leaving his hand resting on top of the TV was enough to get the concept across.

This is the story of some remarkable people who live on the underground in America.
Their Underground shanty town means that they can do what they want when they want and although they have sad storys, they are happy with what little they have. These people are inspiring and i would advise everyone to watch it.

Primus - The Devil Went Down to Georgia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRtkek-Et4

This Video is a Primus song, as it has been made by the universal music group it cannot be embeded onto my blog but follow the address above to view.

The Song featuring a fiddle battle between a man (Johnny) and the devil. the animation of this video is impeccable especially for the type of video it seems that most animated music videos or at least animated sections of music videos lack the clean professionalism of block buster animation which this captures. not only is it really well done but i found it hilarious.

Visual Language 2

This animation uses line thickness to investigate depth and was the second step in my visual language personal development:

Visual Language

Personal Development.
My visual language was focused around 3 objects (inhaler, spray cap and mobile) and the effect of line when looking at depth. using 6 pens.
i found it difficult to work without a final piece in mind so decided to draw the rotation of these 3 objects, animated here:

Named and Shamed

grafik 160

I found this in grafik magazine, i always like work like this, the attack at corporations or just at humanity as a whole in a protesting manner inspires me.
Graphics in general is communicating in a visual way, i think that if anything is worth communicating it should be messages like these, things that build awareness and have real meaning and morality behind them. telling people the truth about were things come from, who its hurting and who is gaining from them gives people a better understanding of how the world works. If you can do this in a visual way that captures, or even confuses people enough to read further into it then you should, there are a lot of things wrong with the world and pointing them out to people can be alot of fun too.

Lemon Jelly - The Staunton Lick

This was the final video from my video elective, the brief was to make a video which was based around a piece of music. We decided to base ours on a day in the life of Leeds. Not someone living in Leeds but Leeds City Center as a whole.........enjoy!

News Papers

I was asked to illustrate 3 similar stories from The Guardian, The Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, on the 22nd October 2007. The story i chose was the use of batons in prisons on 16year old offenders. The Daily Mail made the prison officers out to be out numbered and threatened by the prisoners. The Daily Mirror made the guards seem to be overly violent and demanding. Finally the Guardian simply posed the question do they really need batons? From this experience i have decided to never read an opinionated newspaper again as the story can sway so drastically from one to the next.



From this we had to take the style and opinion of one of the newspapers and develop the story into an informative poster design. I chose the guardian as it was neutral and like me didn't seem to know what would be the best out come. Through my development i neutralized everything so that the out come had no opinion what so ever, keeping only the font from the guardian (Times New Roman) and these were the out come:

How to Escape an Evil Teddy

100 Pockets

Here are the 100 pockets which i am using as a starting point for my book, i have simply asked people if i could take a picture of what they have in their pockets, it was interesting to find the diversity of content and also how unwilling some people are to help. To those people who refused to be photographed, i hope you all got to hell for making my life that little bit harder for something so trivial as a picture of your hand. You got to hell.... you got to hell and you die!
Many thanks to everyone else who was kind enough to participate.

Giant Panda!

Life is a Laugh

Life is a Laugh was a Platform for art installation on the London Underground,created by Brian Griffiths along with a 24foot panda head, caravan, mattresses, makeshift ramps and stunt hoops came its very own advertising campaign by Fraser Muggeridge. The Poster and leaflet designs made to accompany the installation work within the London Underground's brand guidelines do the opposite to the installation, a boring and timeless design uses irony to illustrate the humor of the piece.

Fraser Muggeridge quotes:
"I had a great title to work with (i.e. Life Is a Laugh), so by doing a poster that was nearly boring this would be more amusing, more of a laugh-and people would notice it more by its blandness and get interested in the project"

"It conforms to all the guidelines and i made it look slightly old and grubby, so that you're not quite sure what era it dates from. a bit like Brian's (Brian Griffiths) work"
