update

I finished the post card project. Here are my final full colour resolutions.






some close ups of individual letters from the vector image



Quite pleased with them. The vector one took literally hours and hours. I think maybe the photograph looks better though.

I have just finished reading week. I had friends over from the isle of man all week and as a result did no work, which is a bit dissapointing. Did a bit of filming though and have started putting together another LS6 BMX video. Hopefully i will make an LS6 website soon, but who knows?

Work that I'm doing at the minute involves reading Marx, as i have to make a presentation in 3 weeks. Reading about him is really interesting, especially so many years after his time. A lot of his predictions make sense in theory, but history has shown that in practice he was mistaken about a lot of things. Reading about Marx is interesting, but reading Marx doesn't make much sense.

My presentation will be based primarily on what Marx has to say about the fetish of commodities in Capital. However, I also want to talk briefly about Kant, as he helped inspire Marx's ideas, and Jean Baudrillard as he takes inspiration from Marx. As well as this I also want to discus Marxist theory in relation to modern capitalism.

I have also just started work on our 'design 4 print' brief, in which we have to, um...design something for print. I am going to design food packaging for a fictional small company (that i've called 'the simple food company')that makes vegan friendly organic food. Because companies like this tend to be small I am going to design the packaging using only 2 colours. I also want to consider using recycled or partly recycled, maybe unbleached stock and look at using water soluble inks.

This is the logo I have come up with so far. It may change though.




Sorry if this didn't make much sense. I'm half asleep. I think I'm getting a cold. I made the mistake of drinking some squash that had been sitting on my bed side table for a week or so. I woke up a couple of hours later with a sore throat and a blocked nose.
