disseration draft hand-in

tidy up argument!

pull the paragraphs together-create more of a flow

include the idea of the 'loss of sophistication' from conclusion earlier

procrastination is a b****

and some more

random gallery in brighton, took the picture from the shutter, but really like the use of small dots/pixels or whatever they are to make up an image. similar to screen printing. but the shape of these pixels seem like numbers?

random inspiration

just came across an interesting online portfolio and it had an interesting take on packaging tea. the idea of using speech marks is very clever as tea is associated with "chatting & conversation"

6 month duration photography

stunning photography by Justin Quinnell. the shots are the result of a 6 month long exposure taken with pinhole coke can cameras attached to telephone poles around Bristol. the streaking is the sun's movement from winter to summer. via iso50.

back to basics

the recent fairy liquid ads are proof that we always go back to the old classics or the basics and it just pushes me to think that even with all the high-techno gadgets we have today, tweaking an old classic always works. it reminds me that although computers help speed up the process they are no means for creating the idea. and this ad shows both how with the help of the computer we can retrieve a pre-existing add and alter it slightly to use today (very quickly!)






milkyway have done the same and used an ad from 1989 and just altered a little. these are really interesting because they tweak very little and they usually remove more than add.
