A to B Navigation

Create a sign posting system that successfully navigates from A to B. Traditional means are signposts, sat nav's or maps. The idea of this brief was to invent a new and interesting, yet functional method of getting a person

from point A to point B.

I developed a handheld unit, that could be given to a person within a large or complicated building such as a hospital. The idea would be to replace the coloured line system that you see featured in hospitals. The user would find the first unit next to reception where the unit is given, and from there they could get from point A to point B, or C or D or as many as required. the wall mounted units display each destination and will be found in specific locations around the building. This means a user can go from any point in the building to any other point in the building easily.

EyelashesDirect.co.uk Photoshoot

I was approached by the online company Eyelashesdirect.com who asked me to take a series of photos of some models wearing their eyelashes for some large backdrops to be used on their stand at the International Clothes Show at the NEC in Birmingham. 

Since then they have asked me to take individual product shots for their catalogue and currently i am working with them to design a set of new boxes and shots of their new stands that will be distributed to shops for sales over the counter.

Interactive GUI (Graphic User Interface)

I worked on this project with a partner (Sam Redgrift). We filmed myself carrying out actions that we had thought of for our final piece on greenscreen. The first footage we shot was particularly bad quality due to the camera, the second also struggled with quality until final we re-filmed it all using a HD camera. Using After Effects we removed the green and then placed the clips into Flash. Using a lot of coding we worked out to make certain keypresses trigger different clips. 
The idea behind our project was to create a downloadable interactive computer wallpaper that when set as the wallpaper, the character will interact with button presses or key presses as the computer is used.

Instructions

Design three sets of instructions. The first has to describe how to do something simple, the second, something you would do rarely and the third at a specific audience, which i chose visually impared. 

Flash Art

Using flash coding and script I produced this automated piece of Art.

Joint Year Project - Zines

Beginning this new year we were given a project working in teams of 4, two second years and two first years. We were asked to design and produce a magazine based around to word 'active'. It could be about anything, look how we wanted it and use any production methods possible, but it must relate to the word 'active'. By the deadline we must have handed in 50 copies of our magazine.


In our group we decided to use 'active news'. We came up with the concept to use newspaper headlines and images and create a small weekly newspaper that could be picked up and read quickly without having any full stories, just giving an overview of the news from the previous week. We wanted to put it together imaginatively and creativly otherwise the content would have been boring.
To produce our final Zine, we cut up the headlines and simply stuck them with sticky tape onto pieces of a4 paper, creating one rough magazine first. Then we photocopied this master copy onto newsprint paper 50 times. The newsprint gave us so many problems when it came to photocopying, however we managed to work around it and handed in all 50 copies, sealed using plastic heat sealed bags.

Excess Brief

We were asked to focus on the word excess, and portray it however we saw fit. I decided to look at the obvious, but go slightly more indepth. I took crisps, fizzy drinks, chocolate, beer, cigarettes and macdonalds and created a series of posters informing what the damages of these products are. I changed the product logos, type and imagery to suit the possible outcomes of excess indulgence of them.
