MARMALADE... and website.

Well it's been a long summer working in a restaurant back at home and am now just getting back into some design work... I've been asked to do some illustrations and designs for a Ski school company called Ski Marmalade who are based out in Meribel in France. I'm quite excited and have some preliminary designs based around breakfast items (jars, plates, milk cartons) riding skis with ski poles made from spoons and knives. Here's hoping to get them finished and sent off in the next few days. Also will be building a website soon to use instead of this blog... so will have a link up for that sometime soon.

project completed...

ANIMATION DONE and handed in along with all the bits that go with it... am now starting a new print project for my own enjoyment and will post some designs up soon. will also try sticking the finished film up, but that didn't quite work last time.

Its almost as if computers can smell me coming and decide not to work... after a nightmare in the first term with my personal computer dying the day before the deadline i now have to contest with the computer i am using at university crashing on me this evening, after all the tutors had gone home and no one in the stop motion studios could help... IDEAL. deadline on friday and i am now freaking out that my work has been lost for a second time this year...
oh well on a lighter note - the animation for Tim Minchin's poem "Storm" has been completed and its amazing - here's a link to it on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U

be warned - it contains many naughty words.

Le Fran's illustrations.

check out Fran Court's website... absolutely stunning illustrations. I'm in love with them.

email and posters...

Just finalising the design for my posters for the film...
This is nearly the finished product I guess.

Also I realised today that I hope my tutors don't think I'm ignoring them as I haven't been able to access my uni email for about a month. ARGH!

a short animation by Chris Harmon... worth watching just for the last statistic. I'm liking animations with a message right now.
