Visual (Un)Thinking - Festive Marker

Very tough project, but our group finally pulled a film together at the last minute! Fairly pleased with the outcome, considering it was a first time for all of us planning, shooting and editing a film. Based around the pen that we all associate with christmas, it always seems to start well, but end in a mess...

Photography - In The Dark

Probably the toughest project I have done since starting at Kingston. Myself and other Charlie worked very hard on this, trying to come up with lots of different ideas for where to take the project. Ended up doing 4 different 'final' shoots, before we came up with our final outcome. Not the best feedback in the crit, but definitely learnt a lot from this week.

Fighting Fear Premiere

Went to the premiere of a new film about two Australian surfers/fighters. Really good film, the stars of the film were at the premiere too, answering questions for the crowd. First major film from this director, some very cheesy animations, but also some amazing scenes taken out at the sea with the surfers.

Sponge Day - Contemporary Art

Myself, Scott and Rhys worked together on this sponge day, where we had to grab the public's attention however we could. After exploring around Shoreditch and Brick Lane for a few hours we found an open gate to what looked like a builders yard. Using any old junk we found in an abandoned house next door, we set up a 'contemporary art' exhibition, to mock the rubbish we had seen in fine art galleries earlier in the day. We set up a small sign outside and monitored from a way back how many people took notice, we had over 20 visitors in half an hour, before the owners turned up. As you can see from the video, they clearly don't appreciate contemporary art.

Old Truman Brewery - Heaven & Earth

Exhibition at the Old Truman Brewery just off Brick Lane from street artist Sickboy. Started off as typical grafitti artist, but shown a real development in his work with the much more illustration based work shown underneath. There was also 4 large installations around the exhibition, including a caravan and confessions box.

Typefrog

My 3 final outcomes from the Typefrog project. The original poster I used was for a concert in the 1960's in Zurich, designed by Josed Muller Brockmann. The poster contains all the classic components of Swiss Graphic Design, something I have tried to break apart and display from the basic make up of the poster.

Photography - Space

These were my six final outcomes from our first photography brief, entitled 'Space'. After doing lots of different shoots using car parks, an abandoned house and the gaps between books on a shelf, I decided to use a public phone box. The idea between the rapid change between a public and private space was something that intrigued me. The photos themselves are taken to only subtly show that I am inside a phone box.
