Serious talent that includes mediums that I absolutely love. I wish I was actually this good!

HEARTLESS | PEELING SCENE

This is the only footage I've really been able to find, but Jamie's
burn/peeling scene was a main inspiration for my PPD video back in
May. I love the idea of peeling away extra skin, (like dried PVA glue),
and being left afterwards unharmed and almost purified. I'll stop
before I ramble in to notions of spirituality and metaphors for
regeneration. I just love this scene, however creepy it is!

Mixzine

This is pretty much the first time I've made a zine on my own and

it was an enjoyable challenge to complete it in just two days. What

I also set out to do (which I' am sure has been done before), is

combine a zine with a mixtape, so that the zine can compliment

the music featured on the mixtape. I also chose a theme I could

quietly mock (being self-help and relationship advice).

I love the d.i.y aesthetic of a zine and the punk roots that link to

mine (although the mixtape itself only includes one vaguely

punk cover song by Thea Gilmore). All the cutout text is

representative of the "mixtape" and remix age we live in,

where we constantly draw on the past to push trends forward,

so for that the inclusion of a mixtape felt logical. All the text

used was taken from design magazines to purposefully show

how quite uniform fonts can be removed from that context

and made fun again.

The theme I "stole" was as I mentioned, life and relationship

advice. At first I stole soundbites from Youtube

of an American "lifestyle advisor", discussing ways to be

romantic, pursuasive and date. Much like the text from the

design magazine, I took her narration out of it's context

to provide intervals in my tongue-in-cheek mix of past

 and present songs. The mixtape lasts just over an hour.

The zine came second, as a way of housing and

distributing my mixtape as if a real album. I intend now

to share a few of these "mixzines" amongst my peers in

Viscom and drop them at various locations around the

college site.

Exciting something

I've hopefully got a new project/collaboration approaching with a thoroughly talented individual. This blog shall remain updated with any major developments, but for now you can see everything HERE.

M.I.E - Faithless

M.I.E worked wonders on the branding for Faithless current album "The Dance...". I love how the rendered alot of the illustration based designage in the album booklet in to 3D models and characters in the music videos. Although this wasn't a big return or reinvention for Faithless, I feel as though M.I.E managed to brighten their image in time for the band's return to classic dance form.
