New Modules! Photography! Updates!
Ok guys, I have now officially started the two brand new modules on my Graphics course. The first is the essay module in which I have to write a proposal and then a 3000 word essay on a subject of my choice (although one being relevant to what I haves studied) I have decided to study and write about...

D&AD Nearly There…
It's been a long two weeks of ups and downs in regards to the D&AD awards... Realising I picked (and really wasn't enjoying) the wrong brief, and yet still having to continue with it has been hard. There is still much to do and I really have left it down to the last second, so needless to... Continue Reading →
Graphic Design / Photography Podcast!
Well guys, here is the first "Visually Interesting" Graphic Design & Photography podcast. It has been 1 month in the making, using programs I haven't used before. It has all been good practice.

Went a little crazy today due to completing a few different designs (all based around the same thing) Tested tracing a knife this time round, it has inspired me further to do a little story board with no text all in this style, maybe each frame asa revered...

Experimental Photography/Illustration!
Well, during D&AD work, it came to my attention that my own experiments with photographs and vectors could be more fun (as per normal, and unfortunately). Anyway, I started off by tracing a photo completely true to itself in colour, then by mistake turned part of it black, removed the image and the white background looked really... Continue Reading →
Cardiff Half Marathon Brief Reflection!
I started this brief with quite high expectations, the main thought I had was “surely it can’t be too hard to design something simple and relevant” how wrong I was, got discovered rather quickly. I struggled with the concept of simplicity, it is amazing how much harder it is to simplify an idea, rather than... Continue Reading →
Barnardos Icon…No.2 Complete!
Well... after much worrying about getting at least one more icon finished and sent off to the Barnardos/Cardiff Half Marathon competition, I managed to get my act together and complete the design of number 2 (number 2 also being the final one I am going to send to them). Lately I have got very involved in personal ventures... Continue Reading →
