WEDNESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 2008
I have lots of links on my blog to other blogs and websites that are of interest to me, and every now and then I check them out and see whats new. Sabrina Ward Harrison's website is lovely and her work is beautiful! Everything to the hand rendered type throughout, and the music she has chosen to have playing as people look through her work - its sets it off perfectly!
Her photography is amazing. She also does a lot of hand rendered type - ink and quill pens.
I love these two photographs
WEDNESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 2008
I have just been looking at some blogs on the internet and had a quick look on the Book Works site. This is where we were going to visit when we did our work placement at The Gate. They managed to get us a 20 minute slot to visit them and see them working and making books. But unfortunately something happened at The Gate with a client so they couldn't take us :o( such a shame! I would love to go one day.
WEDNESDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 2008
Apart from being a little bit gutted I have hardly seen any fireworks tonight, I am feeling a little bit better about my work!
I had to work today but I came into uni at 6ish for a couple of hours to try and get some packaging work done! I really feel like I have no idea what I am doing at the moment - I can't think and am struggling to come up with ideas - I keep looking at design blogs, reading things, looking at Graphik etc to try and give myself some inspiration, but I think where things have been so hectic, my mind can't just think! I am rushing everything! I love going to work on Wednesdays as its something different, but sometimes it stresses me out even more, as its not a creative job by any means and so my mind drifts away from uni and then I have to get back into the swing of things - I am sure things will fall into place soon ... touch wood!
Meg and James text me today, they heard from Chloe and she has decided to pursue the invitation I did which is cool. It is based around the ink in water imagery. Their graphic designer is coming into uni tomorrow to work with us! I don't know much else at the moment, so will update tomorrow! :o)
MONDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2008
We had the meeting with Chloe, lots of things were discussed and there is so much to do, its exciting, but slightly worrying at the same time as we have so much coursework to do:
Packaging Brief (crit next week!!!!)
ISTD - I really need to work on this, sort out some ideas etc
Ink Rooms - launch date is 20th November
But, back to the meeting - they chose one of the logos from our presentation - one of the ones James did! Good work! Here it is:
There is so much that needs doing by the deadline. Luke and George and working on a website for them, while me, James and Meg work on the invitations for the launch party, christmas fliers, window graphics etc.
The invitations are the most important thing that need doing - they want to go with the ink in water theme for all the promotional material apart from the menus - their graphic designer is going to do these at some point.
We are going to come in tomorrow and work on the invitations - Chloe is having a meeting Wednesday so we need to get something over to her ASAP. We don't have any set colours yet really, and we are also awaiting the copy for the invitations.
Updates soon!!
