Report Read through

Have just spent the afternoon reading through the draft of my Client Project evaluation report.
I was fairly happy with what I had written and marked some changes. The bits left include

- Plans for the future
- Inputing images to colour the work
- Quotes from clients and independant onlookers
- Research into real-world companies
- Work with the rest of the group to contextualise the document
- And a conlclusion.

After this, it will be the basic end to compound except the presentation at the Milk07 exhibition. It will truly be a sad time. I have enjoyed and benefited from working and being with the team. I will miss working with them!

Compound never looked this good!

Thanks James for his thoughtful remix of my biog video that compound created for the proposal presentations! Apparently there was inspiration behind this but you'd better ask him about that!!! Here is the original, I really like the way it has been put together, just hate the fact I sound like a muppet!!!

Compound hand in

The compound team handed in a box containing all the projects completed within the year. It was a very proud moment and the three has spent all night working on presentation.

Feedback has been posative.

PRP on hold

My Personal Research Project is currently on the back burner until the Client Evaluation has been done. I have also been busy with Easter People planning (see below) and the spring edition of /thoughts. I will start the Summer07 issue shortly too.

I did however, get part of my conclusion published in the very magazine that the project was based upon and it challenged readers to commit to their community.

Here is the page:


Easter People

I have just returned from an awesome week at Easter People in Blackpool.
There I was heading up the creative / acoustic venue with Sarah Frampton.
Here are some photos...
The room was much darker than they suggest (becasue of the flash)


Set-up: The get in finished as the venue opened!

Some of the awesome artwork produced in the week

Acoustic set by Myspoon on saturday night


The brief of the room was to start black andd white and colour would flow into it as the week progressed. The exhibition wall flourished, the graffiti wall filled and the easels were all painted.
Success!

/thoughts spring released


The new issue of /thoughts magazine was released a couple of weeks ago. It has recieved loads of cool feedback and many say it is the best issue yet and it seems to be improving every issue.

It was also really nice to have a proper meeting with the production team and not over emails, phone etc.
