Boobs

Just a quick update (because what else would I be doing up at 3 AM?!) on what I've been up to. First up something really exciting, seriously now, strap yourself in because this is amazing, the pub that I work at asked me to design their Christmas newsletter. If that isn't a sign that you've made it then I don't know what is. All the other Marstons pubs in the area are having a go (I've seen their efforts and all I'm saying is COMIC SANS GALORE) and some poor soul is going to judge who's best and the winner gets a whole fifty English pounds. I'm not expecting to win because the judge will know knob-all about design and will probably mark mine down because it doesn't have some wicked Christmas styled clip-art in it. Gutted. Anyway. Here's what I did, simple say what.


(As you can tell there's fack all going on at our pub so we had to flesh it out a tad and ew, I actually hate this now. Why did I use Georgia?)

In other exciting news, I have my first design job interview on Monday! To say I'm shitting a kitten would be the understatement of eternity. Strangely enough the job is Wigan hospital who are looking for an in-house designer, of sorts (think annual reports, information leaflets etc). So they gave the successful candidates (me, boojah) a small brief to do which we have to present on Monday. Hopefully I won't throw up because yeah, I hate doing that. Anyroad. The brief was on something I can't say I have much experience with...breastfeeding. Norm. All the content was given to us and we had to do something with it. Again, tres simples.


Back off to Dust on Tuesday, cannot ruddy wait.

Follow

Bonjour, I'm now on Tumblr. Follow me +here for daily updates.

Currently doing a placement with the lovely chaps at Dust, hopefully will have some collaborative images to upload soon.

That's all, folks.

P.S. - Look at this example of amazing typography I found in Blackburn. Beautiful, don't you agree?

When you work in a pub you hear people say the most stupidest shit in the whole world. Here's a sample of a few of my favourites.

SignaturesWillBeForged

Working on a piece for Dust which is part of their Signatures Will Be Forged project. Initial idea was to do something with my three Fs (family, friends, football) which basically rule my life (sad, I know). However, not much scope with just three letters and not that much you can actually do visually. Back when I was a third year (sob sob I miss it) I came up with a list of Life Instructions, I was just browsing through and something I wrote stuck out at me. "You can have your cake and eat it." Came up with two rough concepts based around this quote. 'ere have a gander.




I have to admit that the first one isn't at all my usual style and the more I look at it the more I don't like it, but eh, they're only rough. More coming soon.

I want to write but have zero inspiration. Nothing's really pissed me off or upset me enough to rant. Someone say something to wind me up. Go on, dare ya.

BRFC

Due to utter, utter, utter boredom I decided to try my hand at web design, this also gave me the excuse to mess about with the most important men in my life (BRFC). I am a complete novice and this probably shows but anywho, here's the rather cluttered original:


And here's my effort:


Going to fiddle with it a bit. Boredom is really shit.
