Not happy with this one but hey ho.. just a door. Serves me right for spending too long in Nero.

It's Friday.

A design a day - March 3rd

Actually I can't really call this 'design' - more sketching - with plastic. These are more little tokens from my dad's travels - vintage seventies cocktail stirrers - from all the hotels he visited - and all the drinks he had! The plastic hearts are another trinket from another trip. Just playing with these as starting points for ideas...

Thinking about polypropylene.
A simple one today - but I have been thinking about the properties of semi-transparent polypropylene - you get a nice layering effect and it works better in simple colours. Computer based illustration.

A design a day - Day 1 - March 1st!

March 1st.
Well you have to start somewhere, and here's where I started. Two roosters :-) I am thinking about little European souvenrs at the moment - my dad used to bring them back from his travels. I can't find my original Portuguese rooster, so I have made some new ones. Cut paper.

Time to play

In March 2011 I'll be spending my days going on a different journey - creating one design each day and uploading it to this blog and my own website. I need to broaden my horizons and play around with new ideas and ways of working. I can't say yet what the work will be like (because I don't know) so come back and take a look if it takes your fancy :-)
