I am currently working with another designer/programmer to produce a bespoke piece of V Jay software, allowing the production of live visuals in real time.
The aim was to create an engaging way to present data taken from the internet. The final piece is a tangible display, which interrogates incoming updates from the micro blogging site Twitter and then displays it by category. It does this through the use of light bulbs which are composed into a grid and assigned a label. They then light up if the tweet currently being processed pertains to the label they have been assigned. The end result is a large display which will draw attention to the more talked about subjects. As I'm using light bulbs there is a possibility that they will blow is the label they are assigned is a 'hot topic' for discussion. I took this into account when designing the installation. If one of them were to blow I think it would be a good live display for anyone present and would also be a good semiotic for subject which are more popular.
A Day in My Life was university based project, I had to design and produce an interface which would allow the user to explore "A Day in My Life". It could be a generic day or a very specific one. I tended away from doing timelines and photo albums and opted to visualise my day through emotions. The final piece shows what emotions im feeling at different milestones throughout the day through the use of colour and colour key which is tabbed at the left hand side. It was produced in flash with the use of particle emitters.
I worked with Wood McGrath to produce a "Digital Gift" for a think tank at the Victoria & Albert Museum. I was involved with designing parts of the interface in Flash, Filming Interviews and producing the final physical "Gift". The Gift was a limited edition USB Memory Stick that was to be sent out to designers invited to take part in the think tank.
I produced this piece of work in response to a brief provided by O2 for the YCN Student Awards. I was asked to 'Bring to life the idea that we are better connected'. My response was a online platform to bring amature writers together allowing them to share tips, comment on each others work, constructively criticise it & collaborate together to produce joint efforts. I took my visual ques from postmodern typographers such as Jonathan Barnbrook and David Carson.
The brief was set by the design studio UsTwo in conjunction with Sony. I was tasked to produce an interface for the future of media hubs, the servive they provided and the brand they would be presented under. My service was one which was similar to iGoogle, or feedly, where by you could customise which content was presented to you, including recommended news and entertainment as well as personalised travel details and weather reports. It was designed to aid you in your life not just an entertainment experience. I opted for a main interface, accessable at all times of the user experience, which was based around panels which fliped in an out of view containing content from different media types. It interacted with the users mobile phone to allow control of the interface and downloadable content such as weather details and travel information incase of delays and distruptions.
Produced in my first year at university, Look Before You Leap is my first attempt at 3d design/modeling and animation. I storyboarded, modeled and animated the whole sequence. The story follows a young man growing up in the city who is considering the concequences of commiting suicide. It focuses around different flashbacks which have forced him to this situation and conludes around his decision. I produced this piece using: 3d Studio Max, Photoshop and After Effects.
I produced this piece in my second year at university. It is a my first foray into animated type and is an exert for a book by Saul Williams. It was produced using photoshop and After Effects.
This an old piece of work, from when I was at college. I had to design a poster for the Holocaust exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, in London, and a book cover for Anne Franks Diary which would follow the same style as the poster.
I produced alot of visual material using traditional print techniques to achieve a rough hand made feel and then brought them together in Photoshop where i added typography to the piece.
For my final major project at college i opted to produce a series of adverts for the design company Hi-ReS to be placed in the design publication Creative Review. I took quotes for an interview with them, and visualised them in different styles.
A selection of illustration, photography and experimental stuff I have produced.
