CSM to lose print workshops - The Petition

PLEASE SIGN IT! - regardless of if you're studying there or not we could do with your support.

I can't actually describe how infuriating it is to learn that the print workshop/all its facilities will not be moving to the new Central St Matins site in Kings Cross come the new educational year.

I need to constrain exactly whats said on such an open forum but jesus, what the f*@k are we paying for with a lack of tutorial time and NOW an absence of facilities. It really isn't on. Apparently it's now in our (the students) hands to do something *rolls eyes*

I've heard amazing things about Chelsea School of Art & Design though and their evening Advertising lectures are pure genius. You know... just saying.

*scowl*

Unit 4 - "Hold The Front Page"

Just begun block 2, Illustration which consists of responding to a newspaper article every day for the next 2 weeks.

I'm HOPING to create something using moving image along the lines of THIS (Forest Gump in 1 minute)

The above image is just a test to the headline "Crematorium fire to be used to heat leisure centre" ... gross ey?

Animal Charm Final?

I'm unsure on how I feel about this movie poster design yet.. I THINK I love it, but it feels like something's missing. I've messed with it a thousand and one times but keep coming back to this edit.

I've no details about the movie whats so ever so like, how does it make you feel? / what does it say to you?

Eyes Wide Shut

Stumbling around St Martins you can spot these little illustrative gems in the weirdest of places.
A new plan, to document/capture them all before the move to Kings Cross.

A few examples...

Watch this space.

Happy (early) birthday momma!

Birthday #3

Today has been a VERY good day my friend.

This morning I managed to awake to the sounds of Adele on Radio 1 Live Lounge (heaven) whilst waking up ONE minute before my soul destroying alarm clock (more heaven) Then me and my partner managed to secure our concept for our Advertising brief in for next week (more work to upload on here next week) THEN my beautiful friend Zarah Malik (also a Graphic Designer, also at Central St Martins - check her out) surprised me with a gift or two for my 21st last month...

The little man called "Tengu" is AMAZING! He recognises noises and responds with expressions. I have decided to demonstrate this incredible talent to you through shitty quality moving image. Enjoy.
