Typo Time...











Illustration had some beautiful work around the concept of escapism...





There was some seriously sexy book binding...

The Time has come!

This is the final instillation of the Time Machine project. The twelve chapters of the book are arranged in order in the form of a clock face, with the positive and negative text arranged onto mirrors. The 'neutral' text is pinned up in a similar formation on the wall behind, acting like the shadow of a sundial...

Its all smoke and mirrors...

I separated the text into positive and negative text, fitting it onto these 15x15cm mirrors. The idea is that this draws attention to the subjective opinions of the Time Traveller. When you look at the text, you will be confronted by your own image, allowing for a moment of self-reflection (sorry about the pun)...

Censoring The Time Traveller...

{We were given H.G. Wells' 'Time Machine' to read over the Easter Break.
Our new brief is to 're-present' the novel based on our interpretation of it, using the complete text. That's all 34, 000 words of it. Time to get cracking... }

1 day project:
Analyse and visually present a chapter...
We noticed that the Time Traveller had only just arrived in the Future, but he was very judgmental and condescending, and we weren't having it! We decided to remove all the 'subjective' thoughts of the Time Traveller so that the reader was left with only the objective, factual information. We then put the subjective text back in, but blacked out...we just liked the shapes :)

a-mazing...

This project, 'Narrative Cities' got me obsessed with the idea of the concrete maze of the city. I was looking at how the maze divides space and how that relates to punctuation dividing space. Not quite finished, watch this space...

Hand Jobs...

This was a serious of drawings I did studying how people "break the rules":

No Littering...

No Ball Games...No Loitering...
