Thank you gifts

Those colourful boxes were in fact thank you gifts I made for staff and tutors who helped me in my three years at Central Saint Martins.
They are brightly coloured they have a private message and each has a box of plasters within. The name of the person they were given to set in Letraset (Helvetia bold condensed).

I am reimagining how to say thank you. I don't want to ruin the surprise so will not elaborate.

I was one of the winners in a competition to design a debut classical album cover as a part of the series 'Debut Discs' by NMC in 2012.

I received a couple of complimentary copies in the post today and feel very proud!

Designing a business card printer for the degree show

I am finally happy that I have most of the details necessary for the design of this printer.

With help from Angus Main the system is now fully operational since Monday. All that is needed to make the printer print a business card at the press of a button is to plug it into a power supply!

The printer is currently reserved for external assessment and the result of this is that I can only start working on building it physically next week. I make what I can in the interim.

Designing my final first of three hand-in booklets

I have not logged much recently, and foolishly as it would have helped to have my ongoing impressions to hand at the moment. So here is what I am working on presently - my final hand-in document. I am planning to make three booklets two dedicated to my major projects from Unit 10 (Talk Over Tea and the joke Dispenser) plus one more dedicated to the smaller briefs I am or was involved with this year (CSM degree show identity + another project I am doing with CSM research department).

The deadline is May 12th (nine days away) and I should be finished in time - I am trying to feel calm, which is a challange.
