We had to design a number of posters using words and images based on Barbara Kruger’s style of work for photography, the theme I used for this poster was depression. The photograph itself is of a stranger “who I very nicely pulled to the side” and asked him to pretend to hold up a make-believe sign then afterwards I edited the photograph in Photoshop and placed the boxes and text in Illustrator.

The Urban Environment: Mirror and Mediator of Radicalisation

The research project pursued the question how polarisation becomes materially imprinted in a city and how material aspects of a city might actually influence (accentuate or alleviate) polarisation processes. It compares the situation in four cities and speculates about ways in which architecture and urban design might contribute to reconciliation processes by tackling some of the spatial and material conditions of stereotypisation, mutual fear, lack of spaces for friendly encounters etc.

Well it finally came in the post today after 9 days in transit from the U.S.A. Its number 2144 of 3000 and signed aswell on the back. The layout is somewhat different from the unfolded version as it now has a front and back cover as you would imagination. The matte finish feels nice in hand and the overall quality of the print is excellent. I’ll be keeping my eye out for the 2009 annual report.

This was an illustration exercise by a group of us at my university one afternoon. We used an array of dots and media to create the final piece over a space of 45 minutes or more. It was displayed on the ground floor in the university of ulster some following weeks after, along side a number of groups which had done the same as us.

The Institute of Creative Advertising & Design (ICAD) rewards creative excellence in the industry through its awards. The 2008 awards were particularly special, as they coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Institute. This exhibition represents those that reached exhibition standard in 2008, and illustrates the very high standards of creative excellence in this country.

Typography Motion was a video I found while looking for animations, its originally from Nick Schrunk website. If you want to watch it in “HD” Vimeo

I found these two videos when I was researching for a signage project for my university. They are quite different from each other, one is a short clip from abc (T.V) by EepyBird and the other is a stop motion animation (The Making) by Bunliu.

I love zombies and free stuff just as much as the next man! This Resistant Evil t-shirt has it all then. It was on the freebies list of giveaways at this years Comic Con in San Diego. The t-shirt starts of as any other but on  the under side of it there is a zombies face (sorry about the man chest). When the t-shirt is flipped up and over the face of the wearer they are instantly zombified and you are good to rock and shotgun.
