Goodbye WordPress!!!
Goodbye… For Now
It has been/is my last day at Ruddocks design (that’s the design agency not the shop for all those that have been questioning why i have been learning about pencils and pens for 2 weeks…)
It’s been a lovely experience to see how the real design world works. I’ve been doing amendments to a few flyers and a broucher, a bit of logo design and even some packaging design, which I was really getting in to. It’s a shame i can’t stay longer 😦 Unfortunately a week of uni work catch up calls before freshers week begins next week! (In which my brother will be joing the Lincoln Uni Clan! Exciting!)
Anyway, everyone at Ruddocks have made me feel very welcome and right at home. Hopefully we can stay in touch! (Good old Facebook!) Thank you all so much for your kindness, the vast supply of tea, and to becky for her lovely homemade cake!

On an extra note i have a few things to be excited about at the moment that are gunna be happening soon. 😀

3rd Year Looms…
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted! Update Time!
Only one week left until I move into my new house back in Lincoln, where I have 2 weeks work experience at Ruddocks Design Agency. Very, very nervous!
Also it’s only a few weeks until 3rd year begins already! It only seems like yesterday that I was an innocent little 1st year… Scary how time flies so fast! I’m excited but very nervous about it all!
I’m also working on completing my website, which has taken a while to get off the ground. I will be posting a link to it when it is completed, hopefully before I return to Lincoln!
Killing Time, Not Deers
I was bored, so made deer shaped shortbread and they actually turned out really yummy! Yay! 🙂
FMP – Boundaries
My FMP (final major project) this year was to look at boundaries. I decided to look at the way we use language without words to combat boundaries between people.
I looked at the way signs and symbols are all around us which we hardly notice and that we follow the instructions of without question.
ISTD – mp3
One of the 2009 ISTD (Internationally Society of Typographic Designers) briefs this year was to compare and contrast two songs typographically.
I decided to look at my parents favourite songs when they were younger, for my Dad it was U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday and for my Mum Abba’s Dancing Queen.
I wanted to show the immense contrast between the two songs, so decided to place one book above the other so they can be read at the same time and the contrast between a cheery bright happy song could be seen against a dark song about the Bloody Sunday killings in Northern Ireland. It also gives the impression of the two opposites being as one together as a metaphor for my parents being together. (Soppy I know but it works!)
I used my parents ages when their favourite songs came out as the dimensions of the inside pages (13 and 22) and used the name “la scala’ as that was the name of the night club they met in and also means (music) scale in Italian. 🙂
TEA :)
Look at my shiny new teapot that I was brought for my birthday!
An (almost) endless supply of tea all round YAY!!
Thank you Scott 🙂
TV Channel Identity
I had to create my own TV Channel and it’s identity (logo, business card, letterhead), and make 4 animations for the channel including a ident and a sting. I decided to do a new music channel where the viewer could interact with the show. I used a speech bubble in the logo to be used as a graphic device. Above is the business card with the logo.
Shelter Annual Report 06/07 Redesign
For this brief I had to redeisgn the homeless/housing charity Shelter’s 06/07 annual report. I used a lot of fold out pages to ‘shelter’ photographs or text within the report. I’m quite pleased with the outcome.
