Well, I don’t really know where to start with this one folks. I’ve had quite a lot of work on this month, continuing my work for Clooci alongside a few other freelance endeavours.
For starters I designed a counter-top point of sale stand for Mimobot EU, to display their wonderful products in stores nationwide. With all the calculations involved I was glad of my long forgotten GCSE Maths classes. Two things surprised me about this: 1) I was able to recall enough of it to complete the task with brain intact and 2) You really do need maths in everyday life! Sorry Ms Allen, I thought you were lying.
Next up was the catalogue, which had to be designed from scratch and made ready for print within quite a tight timeframe of two weeks, hence the broad chasm between blogs of late. It was quite a challenge, but I learned a great deal about designing marketing collateral and everyone was pleased with the outcome. The pages have been blown up to cover a Clooci exhibition stand at this years Autumn Fair, so pop along and have a look, if you happen to live in Birmingham!
Ken and I also had the chance to make some more 3D anaglyphs for the Clooci press kit, which is always fun even though hours spent staring at a computer screen in a pair of red and cyan shades invariably culminates in a spectacular seizure.
Following all this, we were each asked to design a Mimobot of our own for the European market, and potentially for the US market too, as long as enough people like it! If you have a spare few minutes, all votes are gratefully accepted, and all voters will receive virtual cookies for their efforts*
In other news, my design for Southsea Deck Your Chairs has been made up into a proper deckchair, and is currently posing for photographs all around Portsmouth. I hear it’s even going to be in a few shop windows, which is very exciting! You can see most of the photographs on Flickr, and it’s definitely worth checking out the website, where you can even buy one of the chairs if you fancy a nice sit down.
And finally, I worked on a Logo design for a Hampshire-based company called tecVISION recently and I’m heading up there on the 10th to interview for the role of temporary art worker. Wish me luck, and I’ll let you know how it went upon my return!
Meanwhile if you want to get in touch, you have many different options available thanks to my shiny new Contact page, but for now I’ll give my fingers and your eyes a well deserved rest and bid you goodnight.
‘Til next time!
