It's All About Logic

Back in the classroom makes your mind clock back into the critical thinking - questioning everything you think, what others say, and back on your own questions.

It has come to the time where the ways of short films are coming back into our lives.
OMGawd. Has it really needed to take that long for some cinematographic action to rule the time table!?

Independant study-task include:
-Bring back 5 ideas/narratives for a short film production.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL EDUCATION.
Keeping it Hippie with some lazing around in a coffee store or pub to blabber in some potentially unworthy ideas. Perhaps Thursday evening in The Wrong Un? The place where my uncle managed come half a dozen years ago, to be made unemployed due to drinking - That's ma boy. And all of this to be followed by a celebrative session in Club Sushi with the Beloved to show a soon to be 18 a nice time. Let's make sure it's nice. Well with it being a 1940's swinging special, what could go wrong...
broken backs and sexual exploitation, as these folk oh-so brilliantly demonstrate.

[Video goes heyarh!]

And the second task?

-ESSAY. Boo you.

Kicking it back in the Graphics class has allowed the few of us to get back in mental shape with the tiring, tormenting ways of sketchbook filling. Hardcore, mate.
And here's what Joey showed me, which we have (yet again) collaboratively destroyed, in our home ground of 'PC desk onlooked by teacher'.

IRENAM versus 2012 Olympic Emblem

WTFFF is that!?!

Goes against all logic of visual communication, Graphic Design.
My optomistic thought of it trying to be the construction's site plan was utterly demolished thanks to Mr. Yellow's persistant insult-loaded machine gun. But man has he got a good point.


Still got time on your hands to chuck in the bin and continue glaring at your PC screen?
Still in Awake/Asleep mode?
Hmm?
Have a look at DEXIGNER's post. Thoughts and research on the past and present logo designs snd their effects in both the creative and corporate industries. Rather critical at first thought, but all readable nonetheless (you slothers have no excuse, "HAH."

Oh, and I woke up late Today. Arghhhhh.

It's All About Passion

And dam have I lost that here.
It's been well over a month, bordering two. This is what happens when your love life with the T-mobile web'n'walk drips down the drain. The world of MSN, Facebook, Blogger, Flickr - all of it, has been lost in my household thanks to horrendous horrors of the modern day service.
"Shame" do I hear you say?

And come this comes the lack of personal pickings. The day-to-day activities have almost been lost forever, as there's such little track of it all. But for the sake of mankind, let's try and check out what's gone down.

(So far in no date-dictated order...)

Saatchi Gallery - LOVE IT. I want to go to every exhibition they have, their online site is enough for utter inspiration. Free entry.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL KICKASS

Eye Surgery - Figure the 4th Nerve Palsy. Hard work dealing with it, forcing me to pull off the work load (both at school and Wilkins'). I took my Graphics book with me to the hospital, trying to work in it the moment I woke up after the surgery, although the anaesthetic kept pushing me back to the subconcious world time and time again. A long day, a 3 hour waiting session in an iscolate sitting area, passing the time by seeing how long I could hold my breath (record at 01:50, nice). The surgeoun stated "it was successful", but that's not to my own thought. It's an improvement if anything, but never a perfection. It was an additional challenge to the current world of coursework - Film presentations, Fine Art crits, Graphic Design investigations, they all kept me very busy. Very.

ICA - Sean Snyder. Went with teachers and friends. It wasn't the greatest of exhibitions, but it certainly followed the ways of the Cost/Satisfaction ratio (entry was free, thanks to a personal invitation from one of the institute's workers), accompanied by free Budweiser. And man free Budweiser doesn't do the justice. Anywho, the exhibition, it was okay. Snyder focuses on the presentation of information through the media, predominantly on the war&terror aspects. Photographys and documentaries, it's all rather intreaging, with critical but simple deconstruction of Photo Journalism, breaking it down to all the essential "must haves" for a successful portfolio. This was all followed by a fairly cool train journey home with the beloved and the Gensaned.

...

Oh, and Ravensbourne. Have been accepted by the Foundation course, but the degree is still up for grabs. Who knows what'll happen. Either way, it has all been a harsh time with the inconclusive options of Colleges/Universities. But it's confirmed, I want Ravensbourne. Their Greenwich penninsular looks ace. I want to be a part of it. The fact their indipendant also plays extremely well, as the likes of the UAL feels all a bit too "corporate", dare I say it, like a mass organization. Time will tell, but when you have a Graphics tutor interview you on a Wednesday morning, it all feels so cool.

News Update - The Tate Britain is brilliant. Their collection of drawings is enough to knock me clockwise, no doubt. Trying to take it all in within an hour however, makes it a tad strenuous sadly. A revisit will sort that out, no problem.

Bolt 3D and Push are good, in their own ways, but share a knack for making me want to have it all. A dog and superpowers, both things that the beloved pokes me about (and visa-versa of course!).

Future intention: Get back to this. Chuck in photos when willing, and ensure atleast a weekly update.

In the world of blogging, the SKALLYWAGs shall rise again after their fall.

Why not check out our Art&Design based stuff, hmm?

I can't deny it, she's got potential. I love working with her, sharing ideas and blabbering away - regardless of how ineffective it is in getting actual work done. In the words of us, the team, the partnership, the lovers, and the enemies: Bless your little cotton socks/heart/tart/cheeks/ears/beanie... we have alot of time on our hands; don't diss.
