It’s been an awesome few days what with finishing all my degree work and being up in london for a great graduation show. Check out www.screengrab09.com. Even having some possible investment into spots Keny
I have had about six potential employers show interest in http://spotsenya.com and the way it is all rounded from design to functionality especially my branding and photography. Check it out and tell me what you think.
It’s going to be great to to keep in contact over the next year with the industry even though I am going to be doing a gap year as a teaching assistent in bath at Monkton.
Has any one got any tips how to keep in contact with industry people.
I am sorry there has been such a delay in blog posts over the last few months.
Ooh and if you are in london cone to brick lane and see our screen grab show at the old Truman brewery.
Here’s a few pics of my time in london. It has so much to offer. From the new to the old.
Well it has been an interesting few days for most Bournemouth University students. Why you may ask? Well on the 12th of march I received and email to my university email address. The email was basically about Boycotting costa coffee on campus as they charge too much for coffee.. Read it here…
It has now escalated to over 66 emails that have been replied to as people have clicked the reply to all function and it has then emailed their reply to almost 17,000 students. Its just amazing that more people haven’t hijacked it for there own good and to promote other things. The most annoying thing is those who have replied to all with one liners saying please don’t email me this!!
This is one quote from a twitter use that i thought was really good..
good to see that students propensity for revolution is still alive and well.. from this http://is.gd/nCpC to this http://is.gd/nCpL (http://twitter.com/scgpt/)
It is true as it seems to be the closet thing to student revolts that i have seen in my time here and thankfully not as violent as the some of the student protest that took place..
I personally think that yes it is too expensive to buy a cup of coffe at costa on our campus… currently at £2 for medium cappuccino. Other things like baguettes are around the £2.75 mark and is allot for a tiny little roll…
I just dont understand why the uni cant have their own student union coffee shops that sell coffee around campus in place of i believe 4 points of sale on the Talbot campus…at a cheaper price then use the profits that they do have to go back into the SU.
Obviously its not the workers fault as one email stated saying that they would protest at 10 AM tomorrow. This needs to be taken to the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor and to COSTA direct.
The best way would be for people to just not buy from COSTA at all but this is all very well as people will if its there.
The sad thing is that once these emails fizzle out and people get on with there other things COSTA will probably remain and maybe they will bring the prices down. I would hope that the Uni do make a statement about it and do address it.
If you filled out the facebook survey then this is where i will put the results once i have anough to display i would like 100 but i only have about 40 at the moment.

Once in a while as you know i will put up an amazing vimeo video that has inspired me, this ones is just truly amazing.
It’s an HD one so do go to the orriginal and view it full screen. http://vimeo.com/2910853
Here we have a simple splash together of a design that i did in Illustrator. I have never used illustrator properly so this is one of my first times with it..
What i want to do is to keep things simple but quite artistic and quite textural…
I intend to use charcoal and pastels to draw up my textures and then scan them in and use them as the main borders and Header and footer sections
I am still working on the Spots Kenya Logo at the top likewise with the visual side of the paw prints..
I know its really rough but its just, as mark said, done from the eye. I will then tweak and make sure that it flows better in the css and web design part.
You can click on the link below to open it up in Light box
So if people could let me know if they like the design in general…
Here we have an amazing and touching video that was based on the Free hugs project. The concept and the idea was so nice to see people actually doing some thing that is so lovely.
The other aspect was the photography on it was amazing using lovely depth of field and simple pull focus shots.
I advise you to either stream it here but to get the HD feeling then got to the Vimeo link
I am a keen twitter user with a love and passion for photography. So I thought this could be a great place to get people talking about being on twitter and enjoying photogrpahy for what its meant to be.
I have been looking arround the twinternet and so far i have not found any sites that list or archive good photographers or good photographic content.
So what i am proposing is this…
Get on twitter if your not already
Post a link here to your twitter account http://twitter.com/…..
Enjoy posting links and tweets to one another
But no seriously here are some tips…
Twitpic seems to be the place to be for small time tacky photos online but why not ad some top notch stuff onto there…
Integrate you photoblog with a twitter plugin like Twitter Tools This will mean that every time you make a new blog post it will update twitter..
Post links using the link shorteners like tinyurl or is.gd
RT, which means re tweet, other peoples tweets that you like and if photography is your thing then why not start now and join in..
Its so clever to produce these kind of viral ads it really works and needs to be used more and more..
The latest one is really clever as its it appealing to a young audience as well as an older one.. the use of colours is really subtle and clever and the realistic scene ads to the authenticity of this.
The old classic one is just amazing also and really a ground breaker in this field..
