birthday cards...

Apart from it being christmas, both my brother and sister have their birthdays in december.. london's alarming ability to prevent anyone from saving money means I was forced to seek alternative options for birthday cards.. these are them

musical morons...

I love them.. people who, despite the plethora of channels available to them, still listen to what the charts and xfactor tell them (that'll be American / Canadian Idol for you lot in North America).

Point in case is this divot who has, through some heavenly stroke of genius, shared his iTunes setting for a ' Perfect Eq'.. ... sigh...




Anyway, on the subject of non-crap related music, I thought I'd offer a little minimal tech house number I put together too long ago to mention. Have a squizz and enjoy (along with your vice of choice) Spacedboy - Brad 212 Finlay

Well I've decided to take it back into the studio and actually finish it off... watch this space..

Illustrator

While I'm still really new to illustrator, I love using it (although a liberal dose of swearing usually coincides).

Having been given the word 'Fierce' and ask to illustrate it, I thought i'd bust out the old pencilstick and have a crack at drawing it first. not too bad i guess, and after a bit of live tracing in AI.. presto.. Still working out the pathfinder though so any tips on this are much appreciated..

B&W Photos

I managed to snap this while waiting outside a shop in Toronto. This chick was trying to get from the front door to her mates car in the parking lot without getting soaked. I love black and white photos cause the high contrast seems to capture the moment better than the colour variety.

In doing reserch for a uni project, I studied some of David Bailey's work. He's an absolute legend who made his name shooting the A-list of the 1960s. Here is just a taster of some of the kind of thing I love about him. Jean Shrimpton, Michael Cane and a sexy mystery girl

Typography is wikkid, innit

Brief: Using 8 or more words, using only typorgraphy, convey a message of somekind.

I decided to screen print mine once I found a sufficiently beaten up piece of wood. (I also put it in the bath for a while.. to give it some water damage )

A B/W Image about Design

The brief was to create a 200mm square black and white image conveying what we liked about design
