I said i would post this.... my before college days.

A while ago i said i would post a tutorial, well i made this ages ago, and for a little fun and a laugh thought id post it, jsut to break off from the serious stuff for a bit. I Made it when i was teaching photoshop to people about 5 years ago on some online forum, A lot of them found it real handy, mostly for techniques rather than for making banners as i have in this, so enjoy comment, i laugh everytime i see this now at how much i have improved, its nice to sometimes reflect on old work to help you realise how much you really have improved.



well i hope you enjoyed that, now its back to the serious design side of things in the next entry.

Photos, A first outing.

Finally the weather is nice enough to venture outside for photo taking, and im starting to get into the swing of it again, so i would like to share a few shots with you mostly macro photography however i really like these images.


This is only two of many photos i took howeve i havent managed to upload them all yet to post.  My design work itself is comming on nicely and i hope to have my website up soon aswell, so keep an eye out for posts with more of my design work and the launch of my website.

Contemplating and Review

Its only 11 weeks til I finnish University, not long, that includes our final exhibition and i will give some more details on that a bit later on in another entry.

In previous blogs i mensioned about ordering a book, well i have read it and i loved it! theres so much treasure in the small book, its also got a few "tasks" in it aswell Its reat ofr anyone looking at branding or logo design, and its all wirtten by designers, not some critique who thinks they know everything and not even been there.


There was one thing mensioned in there i have tried out so far, and thats about logo awareness. I've done this twice in 3 different places to get an idea for my own advertising. All it is in the space of 30 seconds of what ever you're doing to just sitting in a place and looking around you count how many logos you see. the first time i counted 48 and that was sitting in my own room, the second was driving along in the car, I counted 23 and the 3rd time was during the ad break of Dr who and going to make myself a drink. Im going to keep refering to this book, its highly recomended by myself and a friend.
