Found this on tinternet just searching around. Ties in rather nicely with what I'm looking at methinks. I worked into an idea today a bit more. I'm pleased with the result, it looks good. It wasn't what I expected, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So I was really trying to find a way to link my concept with my process. Surely they should be connected in some way. My ideas behind this brief were to do with renewable energy: oil and water and their uses, solar power (relating to light) etc. I laid them out in a sort of globe shape but the circular idea needed more time and development. I thought more about regions, how different continents play a different role with regards to energy use, environmentalism, economic development etc, So I sort of did the world map but with different regions colour co-ordinates to demonstrate wealth, advances in technology and economy. I wish I had more time, this brief has really grown on me, although that is perhaps because I have developed this concept more in my head now and can think of new ways to develop existing ideas. I am going to play with editing a different layout further this weekend.

Messing around with oil, water and light this week. I say messing around...clearly at 11am on Thursday when a deadline is half an hour away and everyone is running round like mad men it's perhaps not 'messing around'. Here are a few examples of what I did.




I'm bored of digital again. Today I developed using oil in my darkroom cave. Weird results. Will scan and post soon. Watch this space. Or not, it's up to you.

So there you have it, an incredibly simplified version of my interpretation of the 'Life' brief given to us to kick off the graphics pathway, I'm much more comfortable shooting in film and developed my negatives myself. I'm so excited to get back and see everyone and what everybody else has been up to. Thank you and goodnight.
