dress:4it fashion show

I was fortunate enough to be offered the chance to design a t-shirt for a the dress:4it fashion show. This took place on 27th April at Brownes, Nottingham. 

With all proceeds going to the homeless charity, Shelter, all the designers were asked to base their design around homes/houses/shelters. I decided to sketch a house as quickly as possible for the basis of my design. I then used illustrator to artwork the sketch before it being vinyl cut and printed on the shirt. The tshirts are now in Project Clothing, a store in Nottingham City Centre, available to buy, again with all proceeds going to Shelter.

It was a great project to be involved in and it was very satisfying seeing my design on a catwalk. 

Another Show Reel

After Effects Show Reel

For research for my current ITV Big Country brief, I found this show reel on youtube which shows some basic after effects skills and techniques. As this is the avenue of the brief I am much more interested in I plan to do the title sequence, dependent on feedback of course. However, I have used after effects very briefly before and I am interested in, and would like to explore the depths of the software a little further.

End of Easter

Easter has come and gone in a blink of an eye now. After a chance to properly reflect on the 70 credit module, I am satisfied with my progress from last year. Mainly decision making and time management have improved. 

I am going to collect all my work in a moment and in comparison to last years efforts, there is no competition. This years projects have a higher level or organisation, development and process which I hope will be enough for me to pass, this time around. It goes without saying that the few days before we get our results will be a very nervy time for me and anyone else repeating the year, not due to the quality of the work but because of our experiences 12 months ago. 

Deadlines drawing closer

As Friday's deadline edges closer and closer I am pleased to report that I have 110% completed 4 projects now. 

With just a few final self promotion bits and finishing off the 30sec animation with Tyler I am done. Reflecting back on the past 2 terms, I am pleased with the work I will be handing come 9:30am on Friday. Looking back in comparison to last years attempt, I have really put in a lot more effort and I think that can be seen in my work and hopefully my marks.

Hard drive woes

My hard drive is currently with PC World who I hope can either restore or transfer the data. Meanwhile I have made quite a lot of progress with my self promotion tonight. 

I think I have finally chosen a final idea which I will now apply to all the literature I have already created.

Disaster

Everything seemed to be going fine. Only the motion project to finish along with tidying up my self promotion and illustration projects. 3 days to go. Perfect, more then enough time!

Just when I was getting ahead of myself, my hard-drive decides to die and doing so trapping my illustration and self promotion projects in a technological netherland! I am on my way to PC World now so hopefully rescue the files I desperately need!
