Polluted Minds...











Tonight I and a few others headed on down to tactile bosch to see the polluted minds exhibition by four third year illustration students in Cardiff School of Art and Design. Although tricky to find when we did go in through the plastic flaps and gate then we saw some real nice illustrations. All of the them were hand drawn/painted and with quite a lot of co-labortion as well. Not only was the exhibition good but as you can tell, the building had a lot of character and although rustic had a really nice feel to it.]
After looking around the person who ran it let us have a look around the print workshop next door with amazing screen printing machines. He told us about this new print studio called 'ThePrintHaus' in canton opening with public access to print workshops, (I really want to try this out).
All in all it was a nice time and I was really glad going along to it to find out new things.

London Transport Museum...

















This is a selection of vintage London public Transport posters within the London Transport Museum. I went there last year on a trip with fellow Art Foundation members and I would really recommend going there to anyone else. Alot of really nice typography and images around there.

David Ellis and Blu...


This is really nice stop motion video and I think I prefer it more to some of the other blu stop motion animations due to the increased use of colour and pattern brought from David Ellis.

gLITCH...

another glitch with bbc iplayer makes for inspiration

Lyrics and Type...



By Daren Mewman, he has a really nice portfolio on behance, mainly typography. This typography portrays the lyrics to the song 'willows song'.
From this it has made me think of trying some different approaches in my own design by trying to make a composition which portrays either a song or even literature.

International Poster...






Whilst looking for some vintage jazz posters i came across the international poster website. There's a really nice selection of vintage posters from around the world,
