I really need to update this...


but not tonight, tonight I sleep.

In the mean time here's something interesting to look at.

I move to London on Monday! Can't wait! My girlfriend is in what I believe they call the nesting stage, she's buying lots of bed sheets and pillows and tea towels and stuff.

To celebrate our move I thought I would blog this nugget of information. Designer Mark Noad has redesigned the London Underground Map. Traditionalists are probably chuckling to themselves thinking how can someone improve on such perfection that is Harry Beck's London Tube Map. But after looking over the redesign it makes a lot of sense. Noad has included geographical accuracy, something Beck's design sacrificed in favour of visual simplicity. Find out more about the map here.

 This is a video I did when I was starting out as a creative person. I thought it was lost but earlier today I found the video on a disc tucked away in storage while clearing out my parents' attic. The video is a collection of photos that my Dad and I had done in photobooths while I was growing up.

It's been a while since I updated this blog and so much has happened in the last two months I'm struggling to remember it all. This post will probably be a bit disorganised. Right now I'm looking for a place to live with my partner in London as I've been offered a job as a junior designer in Notting Hill. I can't wait to start but flat hunting in London is not easy, especially when you live no where near London.

First of all, I finished University with a first! On the 2nd June 2011 I finished my three years at University College Falmouth.

Just updated my online portfolio with a completely new design and new work.

Thanks very much to Zef for helping me with some of the coding.

On Thursday I will have finished university. Crazy...

Sneak preview

In two weeks time I finish University for good! My time at UCF will be done. The last three years have gone so quick. I have been fortunate enough to be a D&AD nominee! Which is amazing!!! That means I'll be going to the big flashy awards ceremony next month and I'll be in the D&AD book. Today I sent my Dogs Bollocks entry to Design Bridge, so if I'm lucky maybe I can get two wins in the bag (crosses fingers).

Anyway, lots to do, here's some photos of recent events.

I would love to work on something like this. Branding and packaging for Kraken Rum designed by Stranger&Stranger

Keeping this one short but sweet.

It's two weeks into the Easter holidays with another two weeks to go until the start of my last term at University!!! Lots of new stuff coming, including new projects and a new website (it's that time again, when I get bored of the one I already have and do it all over again).

Btw as of June I'm available for hire!!!

Been very busy as of late, resulting in much inactivity on this blog I'm afraid. I'm currently over half way through my last year of university which means soon enough I'll be venturing out into the big wide world to find work. Something I'm looking forward to and am slightly intimidated by.

Last week I went for a day trip with my parents to St Ives and while we were roaming I noticed something I had worked on while at Nixon Designs.

The second best TV ad I saw this christmas.

One of the best TV advertisements I saw this christmas :)

It's coming towards the end of my first term of third year, which has gone incredibly quick. I've been working on lots of projects non of which I will be publishing anywhere yet. But keep an eye on my portfolio in the coming weeks/months. I've been designing the branding and packaging of a particular cider which I believe deserved a new face. I have also been working on one of the D&AD briefs which has been very challenging and am still yet to crack. Ontop of that I have also been working on a number of smaller projects. I have been developing a series of four book covers based on a deck of cards which explore the use of typography and symbolism. I have also designed my friends business card which he used and took to a geology conference in London. There are a bunch of other projects I would like to pick up but they're just not enough hours in the day.

In other news I re-designed my logo. The old and the new logo are compared below.

Just finished my second week of third year, and already the work load is piling up. But in my spare time I've been working on my lovely girlfriend's blog. CamillaDelacoe.co.uk features reviews on recently released films, music and general stories of a student journalist. I also put together her twitter background, nothing too major but just a little bit of fun.

My friend and housemate Hannah has started up a little blog called "Hannah's Daily Chalk". We moved into our new house this summer and the previous tennants left a chalk board nailed to the back of the kitchen door. Hannah has taken it upon herself to doodle a new drawing on the chalk board everyday and has this blog to show what happens. Funny stuff, go check it out.

In other news I am now a huge fan of Nathan Fillion since my girlfriend introduced me to the american guess who done it show "Castle". My love for Nathan only grew more when after buying Halo Reach (which I have been nerding out on for the last week) and realised Nathan voiced one of the characters, and has done in the previous Halo games also. How cool is that! My two loves for Castle and Halo united!

Aaaaanyway. I start third year of university tomorrow. Wish me luck!

New website up and running

I found this on the internet today. It's a very clever ad campaign for tipex, I highly recommend you watch this.

I love zombies, hence I cannot wait for this to come out.
