It's all too much!

This is the final video from my recent Roses Awards motion project for uni. The brief was to create a concept (a product, a social movement, etc.) that sells/campaigns for simplicity. I created a blog that ran alongside this brief, which can be found here.

Well i’m back at Salford uni for my final year in graphic design, and they’ve decided the best format for our PDP’s is a blog…..i swear someone suggested this idea last year….. Anyway, the link to it can be found HERE. I’ll be updating it with things that i find ‘inspiring’, ‘interesting’, or things that just relate to my course.

Saturated Expressions - Part II

Second attempt at splash photography, with the DPOV guys. This time we used two Nikon D90’s, on with an 18-50mm f2.8 and the other with a 80-200mm f2.8. This gave us a bit of variety in the pictures we captured. The rest of the images and all my previous splash pictures can be found here.

Skateboarding

I got phoned up by a friend tonight who said he was out skating and would i like to go and take some shots, why not i thought. I think its pretty mandatory to take skating shots using a fisheye, and as i haven’t used it much lately i attached it to my camera and snapped away. I took just under 400 shots in an hour, mostly using trial an error to get the results i wanted. The rest...

Effulgent Precipitation

Another shoot using my newly purchased sync cable, this time firing the flash directly behind the subject. As it was raining at this point the water droplets were also illuminated creating a great effect.

DPOV Photo Shoot

dpov: A few members of the DPOV Collective met up this week to work on a portrait photo shoot project involving water. It’s something similar to previous work we have done, but we felt like it could be much improved and were eager to try. A round two, so to speak.

Purchase of the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. Whacking great big aperture for the lovely blurry backgrounds, and a massive step up from the tired old nikon kit lens.

Tilllate

So another photography job has come my way in the form of tilllate. The job will open me up to the world of nightclub photography, and will probably help develop my skills and my understanding of photography a bit more.

My message was ‘See things from a different point of view’, which would tie in with the recent DPOV related promotions i have been making. To relate to my message i decided to display the DPOV logo in a way that is different to normal. I did...

deadmau5 site

Click image to view site. Web design for the musician deadmau5. The idea was to create a minimalist yet stylish looking interface that included the artists logo. Each logo is a button that moves on to a different part of the site which would include up to date content on news, tours, and media. The artists name in the title is consistent throughout the site.

Bed Challenge

Bed Challenge Visuals created for the north west sound archives. I chose this particular piece of audio as i felt it would offer entertaining visuals compared to a simple dialogue that most of the audio available contained. I decided to create a piece that is a blend of kinetic typography and vector animation, and i feel the two work well together. The original concept i had was a simple...

Continued experimentation with Gawker. If you have to paint a fence then its worthwhile making a timelapse out of it. I think most things end up looking better in a timelapse.
