I’ve started posting a bit more on my other blog ‘The Opportunity Blog’, where I eventually aim to create an inventory of all the things I acquire from Op Shops.
Ultimately, this is fuelling a nasty habit of mine - hoarding. Who doesn’t need vintage souvenir place mats from New Zealand for $2?
Item: Souvenir Placemat, New Zealand
Found: Family Life, Cheltenham
$: $2 for set of 3
A whole lot of colour is coming this year.
When inspiration strikes in the dark of the night, this is where I’ll be.
I sometimes like to make cards for people. I have not posted for a very long time, and I thought I’d use this little cross-stitched card I made for my friend Jess’ 21st to once again say hello.
My university days are well and truly over, and I’ve come to that realisation that countless others must also face at this time in their lives. What the hell do we do now?
After much deliberation I have decided to spend my time doing things like organise my mountains of craft supplies, and learn how to do this new thing I discovered called ‘jogging’. I don’t do it very well, but I’m trying. I’ve started cooking with Mum a lot more. I’ve also been lucky enough to follow around a select few people I admire most, and try to figure out where they went right.
So I’ll keep doing that until I find where I need to be. And then work on where I want to go from there.
A proposed cover design and type-setting solution for the RMIT Creative Writing Anthology, 2011, entitled ‘Undertow’. My concept for the cover imagery explored the mythological idea of a celestial ocean; the amalgamation of sea and stars.
This is a publication I created entitled ‘Life In Disposable’, documenting the lives of 16 friends by asking them to carry disposable cameras around with them. I wanted to visually explore the reason why we have certain people in our lives. It’s a tad sentimental, and lame, but so am I.
Well my final year of Communication Design has come to an end, and here are some of the projects I just included in my final folio. I will hopefully have a portfolio web site coming out soon, and then this blog can go back to showcasing my felt escapades.
This is the cover and editorial design for an issue of Dot/Dot/Dot Magazine, A5 in size with a zine feel.
My friends. A poster entitled ‘Unbridled Enthusiasm’.
Worth the wait.
