On Your Marks

Graduation is approaching and the Degree show seems like so long ago! 


On Your Marks had a brilliant opening night with plenty of interest! The place was packed within the first hour and the reaction to the show was great! It was a proud night for all of us D&ADers, seeing peoples reactions too our work was quite surreal, looking at their facial expressions towards the work and hearing peoples comments were on a whole encouraging! Our show was a great success which I will not forget! 


I had two A2 prints which were printed elsewhere and mounted onto foam board and three books in the publication room on a nice stand accompanied by gloves, it was nice to see my work properly on display rather than pinned to a wall above my workspace!!


The night gave us a chance to celebrate our challenging three years! We had nothing to do but mingle, drink and look at what we had all achieved. Catching up with tutors and seeing faces from the year above and also industry was a good feeling. I can't wait to see what next years degree show beholds, I wonder if it will be as much of a success as ours was!

Owt Creative

Today I received Owt issue 7 through the post! A great zine which runs along the theme of Science. I submitted some work and was lucky enough to be chosen! This is the first time I have featured in anything and I love the feeling (Hence me buying three out of excitement!!). If you haven't seen any of Owt's work before I suggest you take a look at the website, keep an eye on what themes are up and coming and submit like I did!  http://www.owtcreative.com/

The typeface I submitted was my Chaos Typeface which I designed in my final year of Uni. I created this in response to the chaos theory.

The letters were taken through a number of minute changes which would over time create a significant difference. The Chaos theory suggests that the minor mistakes in our world can multiply over time and create life changing outcomes. Below are the transformations I took these letters through. A very small difference, but you can see how it develops and transforms after repeating the process a number of times.
