Tourist

For this summer project i have so far done no research into designers and only applied myself to draw mind maps of ideas which doesnt seem to be getting me very far. Therefore today i decided to wonder into banstead and photograph various signs around the village all saying 'banstead' to send the message across of my home town. However while i was doing this i did feel a bit stupid as banstead is probably the last place you would go round photographing but then again i am doing something in opposition with myself. Hopefully i will end up getting somewhere. i am liking how these photos look.

Poladroid application

Having fun just playing around with this poladroid application seeing if i could use it for my summer project. just some ideas..

Braille

I saw an image of the braille alphabet and thought it could be interesting to use in my project with the use of shapes creating type, sound and meaning. How could i break the barrier between those who regularly use braille and those who don't? perhaps i could take this further? not sure yet what to do....

playing around again....

French translation

Playing around and creating designs for small cards advertising exhibitions but in french. Not really sure where i'm going but looking at fonts, colours, layouts etc. These were inspired by images from my sisters blog and work shes done.

Starting my Summer project

Finally i've started to think about my summer project. I find it quite daunting that this is the first uni project and want to make a good impression. The whole project is on living in opposition of yourself. The way i like to look at is breaking your own boundaries. Doing or forfilling something that you would never have thought you could do. As a starting point i've been looking at languages especially french due to my upcoming trip to Paris at the end of the month. How can i use and understand the language- teach the reader- break the boundary. Lets see how far i can go.. i was also interested in using photography and exploring/ being a tourist in my own town what can i find? watch this space.. Top picture of playing around on indesign with type and layout, however i would like to step away from the computer and try not to use it and make and explore with materials.
