No To Fur.

Anyone who has a heart and has ever witnessed what they do to innocent animals in China  just to make some orange faced celebrity in London stay with the trend will know this design could have contained one of many gruesome, sickening images. However, as they might be a bit too strong, I have made this friendlier version! This is something I feel very strongly about and my blood boils when I see anyone wearing or bragging about their 'proper fur coat'. Grrr.

Today's Typography #2

I was inspired to create this piece after reading this article. Although, I altered the concept slightly, I found the idea of a different style. technique representing a particular object intriguing. Therefore, I created this piece, consisting of 52 different fonts- one for each week of 2010!

Today's Typography

Today is January 1st- the first day of 2010. And to celebrate, I thought I'd create a little bit of typography! Bold and bright, hopefully a sign of things to come!

Sweets Make Me ☻

Just thought I'd add some pics of a small sweet bag/ holder (?) I created after reading an Origami For Beginners  book after finding some spare pieces of card. I have also included a quick tutorial on how to make your own if anyone is interested...

Cube of Consumerism

Christmas is finally over and you'd like to think so was the mad rush of blatant consumerism and plugging for products etc. I must admit I was foolish enough to believe this. Then I went out. The 'XMAS SALE' signs were merely replaced with 'NEW YEAR DEALS' and 'JANUARY SALES, DON'T MISS OUT'. Shit. Here's me thinking I could spend a day in a city centre without being subconsciously brainwashed. If I get an unexplainable urge to buy a 'Strapless WonderBra' or a pair of Ugg  boots don't blame me...

The cube represents the environment we are stuck in. No way out, always a ceiling. Buy it now and if you don't you will eventually anyway. No wonder we're in a recession.

Christmas Pack

To get in the festive mood, I have created a pack of Christmas and New Year inspired designs. To view the pack, please click Read More.

NOTE// Gave the site a lick of paint. Stick or revert back? Opinions welcome!

Merry Christmas!

Can't believe I'm saying this already but... It's Christmaaaaaaasssss, as a scruffy old drunk once sung. Quick doodle for everyone to wish them a very merry Christmas and a Great New Year! Hope you get what you wanted :)

Big Wooden Blocks Font

So today I created my first ever font, Big Wooden Blocks. This was inspired by the big chunky wooden letters used on my Art course to print with. Took ages and I'm not sure if you can even download it; I tried before and it failed ¬¬. Being my first try, it's nothing ground breaking but still worth a mention. You can have a little mess around with it and type something in to try it out by clicking on the menu on the image above.

Possibly the first of many?

Definitive Danglings

After creating the mind map, shown in the post below, I decided to experiment further with the design and see if I could perhaps implement it as a CD cover. Therefore, I created this design on Photoshop and made 4 variations of it (top being the first design, bottom being the newest). At the minute I'm thinking of going with the last one, but I keep changing my mind! Which one should I go for?

Brave New Hangings

Just a quick mind map I made with pen and ink...

EDIT// Added a colour one too!
