I have joined my staff at work, to start raising money for Prostate cancer. Basically as you probably know, the month of November equals ‘Grow your Moustaches’ - Keep them funny.
I have a donations link and all proceeds would be much appreciated and go to a great cause: http://uk.movember.com/mospace/998682/

My Manifesto Brief at University, basically it’s regarding ‘Respect’ something our society we live in has forgotten. - Not all, however, the majority have. I am regarding the older generation that most people have less respect for. I also mention that we as a society need to change for the better, as we will all be old one day. - The majority of us at least.

Method: 

  • # First and fall most, finding the perfect model. Using the same background - a light brown/cream colour.
  • # Aligning the shot, I used my iPhone 4 - after reading an article in my Digital SLR magazine; ‘about a guy who was a professional photographer,’ and chose to use his iPhone 4. - This inspired me to attempt some good photos with this device.
  • # Importing to iPhoto, I then changed the contrast to a more cold feel — to create a more old feel yet keeping it realistic. The Greys really show once this effect was done.
  • # Now it was photoshop time for the one photo, in which I would try and create a beaten up old man. The effect actually went to plan, using the burn tool with many brushes/sizes and strengths + a good eye for detail… it all went well.
  • # Imported after saving as an .Eps, to InDesign Cs5… then just simply wrote out my manifesto on the rectangles created (black for the darker version — keeps a dramatic feel), and (white for the happy version). 
  • # I then saved as a High Res .PDF files, printed on the Plotter at A2 Portrait, the stock I used was a grainy wallpaper - It worked a treat and it was around 100gsm, the darkness of the beaten up old man had a really dramatic feel.

I had comments from fellow students asking me if it was real, or did I beat him up etc… this was quite positive (not the beating up part) and the exact look and feel I wanted to portray to my Tutors and fellow students.

It was the 4th of July.

Finally, the 4th of July has just passed. - Usually I wouldn’t think too much of that date, I on the other hand will, from today (sort of ha ha), my reason for this is I finally got a job, a good job to say the least and something I will enjoy thoroughly I’m sure. 

Job + Dissertation research + Sun = Fun but hard work.

Summer. & Job hunting.

- It’s been a while since I posted, this is just a little boredom message.
I will try and get the balls rolling again soon :)

It’s been almost six weeks now of the supposed fun and full of entertainment “Summer”, well lack of funds = rare to see the fun side. Thank god for the World Cup. - Well until yesterdays disappointing thrashing. * I win either way *.

Six weeks or so of Job hunting, work experience… nothing has come up yet, 1 interview that I am hopefully going to impress with & it’s a job I do enjoy. Nothing else yet. Just the hot weather and World Cup to keep me smiling.

Not long till I should get my Dissertation research started, I have parts of what I need and will hopefully get my plans over and done with.

4 of 4 posters, the final one. This poster was the last one I created, It has a stylistic flare about it but also it is relevant in the manner it should be.I didn’t want to over complicate things so I left most of the design to simplicity.
*NOTE* No matter how many times I upload/edit and re save this file.. and jpeg/png it still for some reason on TUMBLR Stretches it a lot… It is annoying but I cannot stop it for some reason.

3 of 4 posters. As I mentioned below from the other previous posters. An unusual project but nevertheless a creative flare had to overcome this.
