Just a quick post while I drink some sleepy time. I was in work until 9 but started my Info graphics project (on apples...) at about half past and have been working on it ever since.
While I was hoping to have it up and finished tonight, It'll have to wait until tomorrow I'm afraid! Still, I'm very happy with how it's turned out. I want to personally thank tea for getting me through it hahaha! Na kidding, Gem's feedback has been very helpful and encouraging, which is kinda what I needed atm, baby steps before I get back on the design bull!
I'll leave you with some Seerauber Jenny, They helped a little too.

Cups of Tea 0773 - 0776
Bare with me, I'm still getting back into the swing of everything...
Having family down, although a nice experience is very counter-productive. Hell, even being in this house, where there is no designated work area other than one situated within 5 meters of a X-factor emitting television and parents, with their own opinions on the crumbling state of music competing for volume to distract me, ('they've got no talent', 'would buy / listen to an album of this?' and 'why are we watching this rollocks?' are the one million pound questions pondered throughout the program...) I then have a very inquisitive six year old and an older brother going through Central-London withdrawal to entertain.
So naturally, little work has been done short of me barricading my bedroom door like an anti-social teenager, headphones blaring some Seerauber Jenny while I attempt to read the history of the LP. It's because I'm classy, not begrudging of family visits, honest.
But read I did. Mostly about Jazz in the book "The Long Player Goodbye" by Travis Elborough, while the book documents the physical format from the very beginning, I feel it's not really the type of thing I really need for my dissertation. Although I've picked up a few things across the 100+ pages i've read so far that've made me question my protest at the death of album artwork so much that I have become slightly hollow to music in general...
Other than that rather depressing note, I picked up Dataflow 2. Shiny, shiny data graphics. While i've got two ideas down for it, I've not really done much beyond annotating sheets of apple facts. Either way, there's alot to do on it tomorrow...
As for your need to consume something graphical, I present to you the new Radox advert.
Yes, I know. WTF indeed.

Cups of Tea 0661 - 0772
The Long Awaited Return of Teasign is Here.
The past few weeks i've been a little lax. There have been very few things done in the wake of moving, working and some bread and butter flyer work. That all changes from today.
This moment is the revival of all things Teasign. Daily updates will be resumed and graphic design shall be shared and if not, wonderful links will be posted (although I warn they might tie into my dissertation...) to fill your day.
It's wierd. After a year of writing this blog, it's become part and parcel of my process. One cannot exist without the other for me now, I need to write to design and I need to design to write. The catch 22 that I believe has kicked me in the arse over the past few weeks, but it's ok. I love design and I work better when I'm thrown into it. So you shalln't see me around Wind, I won't be wandering around town (unless I'm on my way to Uni) and I certainly won't be playing Halo all day long. Scouts Honor.
So then, onto the design.
This is work I've done for a good friend who's currently opening a florist in Uplands, I heartily encourage you to check it out when it launches (I'll post when) as I got to see inside today and when finished, it'll look incredible! So here it is, the first of this year's projects done and dusted (well, client pending...) Feedback is as always appreciated. Hopefully there's someone to read this after such a long time away!
