Over the summer I have not blocked off my flow of creativity while working full time, but simply stemmed it off and worked a lot into making some new music.
This new material is a lot different to anything else i have done, its a lots grungier, darker, doomier and atmospheric and i'm very happy with it. i've written and recorded these 6 songs and the 1 Electric Wizard cover in the space of about a month and a half or so? and i am very proud of them.

Ideas and Communication - Further work
Ok, so me and Jennifer Conroy have done more collaboration work recently. Lots in fact.
The first of these projects is a campaign against battery farming of chickens called "Fowl Play." We had to use word play and homophones for this project. For this we created an ambient campaign within an elevator to enclose people in the gritty feeling, couped up situation and then give them the call to action, and we also created a guerilla campaign to put stickers with facts and a call to action onto unethically farmed products. The call to action led to a mock website we created to find out more information.
The second is a brand extension for Marks & Spencer using the acronym of the company. For this we created a new maternity underwear range to give better support: "Maternity & Support," a new M&S banking service: "Money & Savings," and a new chain of M&S bars much like the restaurants they currently have: "Meeting & Socialising."
The third one is a brand extension for the clothing company "Warehouse" which we had to use wordplay. we use common phrases to extend the brand using the name of the company including "Underwarehouse," "Warehouse to house" and "Warehouse of cards."
Underwarehouse was an ambient campaign to use mirrors and mock underwear to allow women to "try on" the underwear before buying, because law restricts you from physically trying them on in stores.
"Warehouse to house" was emblazoned on the side of a lorry to advertise the new home delivery service. "Warehouse of cards" was used to introduce a new range of cards to warehouse including a credit card, loyalty card and a gift card.

Design for Production and Print: Do you like music? reviews
For our design for production and print module we had to create a booklet of some kind based on anything we liked. As some people may know, me and a classmate Thomas Eccles made an album reviews blog, which can be found here.
I decided to use this as the body copy for a "Do You Like Music? Reviews" alternative music album reviews booklet. I designed the pages in a stylised, grungey way and mocked up the booklet.

Time Based Media
For my module Time Based Media, we were given the task of creating 3 short videos.
The first of which is a stage set in motion 4 which uses various flat textures to build a 3d stage and also uses chroma-key footage as well.
For this one I built a house out of flat textures, added some dark lighting to show it being night time outside the house and created a small house party inside.
The second of which is animated typography which we had to create a video making the type animated based around that word.
For this I did 4 words and managed to merge them all into one flowing video to the tune of spanish flea.
The final of the 3 was to create a 5 second film and try to narate some kind of short story or concept within those 5 seconds.
The idea behind mine was to have someone playing a scary video game who then gets frightened when someone bursts into the room behind them. I added in the wilhelm scream for the comic editor's effect.

Collaboration brief with Jennifer Conroy
We were given a brief in a lesson of ideas and communication to create a set of two-in-one advertisements showing off the benefits of a selected fruit or vegetable. We chose (or rather jen chose, as I was in paris for the first session) to use peppers.
A large amount of this brief does come down to luck unfortunately when it comes to sourcing the images. We had to take our own photos after slicing our vegetable in various ways. We sliced ours with some initial ideas in mind, but several of those did not work out, however because we took photographs of almost every section we had, just in case, we did come across some fantastic happy accidents which I personally believe turned into some very strong ads.
