Lollies






Last year during foundation, we were given a brief entitled 'Conversation' and placed in pairs that consisted of a graphic designer and an illustrator, usually a person that you wouldn't have spoken to in the past. We were to communicate the concept of conversation, working together but not verbally speaking (for the first day) so that we were able to grasp the notion and importance properly. We had to find other forms of communicating, and eventually find something that we wanted to reflect.

Me and my graphics partner, Tamara, decided to emphasise the way that conversation leads you to slowly discover small things about a person, the way that you have to break through barriers to find answers and to understand a person. We also wanted to reflect the ephemeral sense that these barriers have, that with more conversation they can disappear. However, we also wanted the sense of playfulness we had discovered in the beginning to be reflected by the final piece.

So we created ice lollies, with simple child-like questions on the bar. Once eaten the top half would reveal the answer to your question and you would have discovered a small detail about the person.

All of what is written above was taken from Tamara's blog (sorry)

The chair project

















Here are some of the 60 drawings which i have had to produce for a new project about a chair. I have chosen to do the egg chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen featured in the 1st drawing. I haven't yet finished all of the drawings but after a mid-project review, i was advised to try and tie my images more towards the chair and to not go off on a tangent to much. It was also said that some of the images aren't obviously linked to the chair, for instance Ronald Mc Donald. I have drawn him because Mc D's used a replica chair in their new
refurbished restaurants and the real egg chait manufactures are filing a law suit against this.

Keep checking as there is more to come.......
