Cups of Tea 314 - 320

A lot of work and a lot of tea done today, stuff that I'm happy with an all!

Started off the day by coming back to sunny Port Talbot, drank some tea and started on my badges for Colony (you'll see these soon...) before getting asked to knock out some freelance work, which obviously being a hungry student, I got onto. I'm abit meh with the finished result as I didn't have all the info for the flyer (there's another band to add and afew other pieces of info, but they wanted a "teaser flyer" so people see it during the camden crawl this weekend). So take it as a quick knock up atm... wouldn't post it usually but I quite like the illustration at the bottom :)



Other than this, Colony pictures have started to come back! The contriubtors shall remain nameless on here for fear of getting them in trouble, but thanks to Fish, Major and Suede, Scotland and Norway are coated in stickers from these guys... unfortunatly I don't know what i've done with Fishes photos so I can only show you those from Dramman and Berswick... enjoy!

Tomorrow I'll upload the 40+ badges I've done... but I wanted to give those people who've sent in pictures some props and my thank yous :)

Cup of Tea 0313

Not alot to say or do today... it's been a pretty uneventful day! Watched Cemetery Junction with Gem ala cinema (which was a fantastic watch) and then came how and pretty much did bugger all...

Gem showed me a great vid on Vimeo though... check it out!

Cups of Tea 0306 - 0312

Apologies for not posting last night... I was fan-stalking Eddie Izzard... he played a secret gig literally at the bottom of the street I live on! So I had to y'know ;)? He was nice, didn't speak to him for long because there were loads of people waiting but I did get my box-set signed :) Oh, and a photo ofc :D!



So I scrapped the eye poster. I wasn't 100% feeling it to begin with. It felt a little bit tacky and looks nothing like my original sketch or (maybe more importantly) how I pictured it in my head... which is a shame, but I liked the message. So keeping with the theme of my other work for the project (which you actually haven't seen!) I stripped it back down and tried to summaries the impact of how many bees are dying in Britain alone (last year over 6 million bees...)



I think it works nicely, though at the advice of Rhysboi, I'm going to try and rework the original eye concept to how it looks in my head, so watch this space.

I also reworked my older slogan poster. As much as I love Hexagons, their shape makes them impossible to weave together varying sizes... so as a result, here's a new (to your eyes at least) poster that's really a reworking of something one or two of you might have seen already! One totally stripped down and one with a little depth. Think I prefere the stripped down version, but i'll see how they look printed!





And I know quite afew people are reading this now (via conversations...) so please comment! The whole point of this thing is for feedback after all!
