Without rain...

Above is my entry for this year's Positive Posters brief. The focus of the brief is "Glass half full", and I thought the saying "without rain there can be no rainbows" summed up optimism fairly well.

In other news, the lovely band Bordeauxxx are using some of my drawings for their artwork/t-shirts etc. You can listen to them here, and buy a t-shirt here!

Busy

Sums things up, really! The day after packing up at New Designers (which was great, by the way), I started my 4-week work placement in London. The first week went pretty well, but this week's not off to a great start, thanks to some sickness bug. Eurgh. So am at home today, but hopefully I'll be back in tomorrow to get stuck in to this week's projects.

I've not really had much time for anything else, so I'll probably be a bit quiet on here for the next few weeks. It's been pretty non-stop, but good to keep the momentum up I reckon.

New Designers

New Designers is upon us! Monday & Tuesday was spent setting up our stand at the Business Design Center in Islington - we've got a great space! Then yesterday was the awards judging, press preview, and private view. It was a very long but very nice day. Only had a quick wander round, but there's so much great work on show. Exciting to be a part of it!

If you fancy going, it's on until Sunday 11th July, and all the details are on the website. Head to South Essex College, stand VC24. I'll be there Friday and Sunday, so come say hello!

We ended up with more space than we'd anticipated, so put up a display of the screenprinted posters from our Why Not Associates project. Also did a bit of hand lettering on the walls!

P.S Our degree results went online today. I got a 1st. Eek!

D&AD Student Awards 2010

Right, I sorted the photos out from Tuesday's D&AD Student Awards, so thought I'd share a few of them. Excluded are the cheesy ones of me standing next to my work and pointing at it, and one I found on the D&AD Flickr which makes me look like an alcoholic.

I'm still on a bit of a buzz from the ceremony. It really was a great day. Need to decided what to do with my Commendation certificate now...subtly slip it in the portfolio, perhaps.
