Meaningless Metaphor

'Meaningless Metaphor' "A social experiment about communication. It is human nature to look at something and try to make meaning out of it. No matter how much meaning you think there is in these pieces, there really isn't. In fact, I wore one of these images on a t-shirt the other day and could see people look at my shirt and try to figure it out. The joke is on them because...It doesn't mean anything." I think this is a really interesting way of thinking and I am going to use this as part of my research for my final project at uni where I have to research and communicate a word, I have chosen 'Metaphor'.

United Graphic Design

I started work experience yesterday at United Graphic Design in Bridgend. I had a great day and am really enjoying the friendly atmosphere of the studio. I began by creating UGD's social networking identity, including Twitter avatar, page background, Facebook avatar and a downloadable desktop background.

Design a day

I was inspired by Renato Pequito and have decided to design something new everyday. The theme today is indulgence. Everyone who knows me well will know that food is one of my favourite past times!

Renato Pequito

I was introduced to Renato Pequito's work when on work experience at Burning Red last week. He has a gorgeous illustrative style. The designer set himself a challenge to design something new every day. Above is a selection of pieces that he created through the self set brief. This has inspired me to do something similar.

Extracts from Little Owls. I illustrated and wrote the book in order to encourage better sleep health in children through a range of heartwarming stories.
