The polished sketch: two ideas, in and out of the heart. Which is better?

An idea for development of my I Love London project. Playing on stereotypes. Any suggestions?



{post no.30} moving back home • 21 July 2009
• 0 comments • Share



I am now slowly moving back home. I've brought about half my stuff back now, and more in the coming weeks. Until I'm officially out of London by the end of August. It's a sad time, I'll miss London and everything it has to offer, but I am very excited about my year to come, and all the potential opportunities. Being back at home now (without a job - poor) means I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I have updated my site as you've seen. I'm also in the process of updating my 'marketing pack', as I've heard it been referred to (ie. my cv/pdf/portfolio .. general promotional stuff).
As well as this, I am keen to continue to develop some more of my projects. I Love London is interesting and any comments would be greatly appreciated, as I plan to develop the my ideas into something more polished and professional. I also plan to continue with the Time Machine project and make a book format of the sculpture, so watch this space.
I am also keen to do some freelance work, so get in contact with me if you need anything done. Bye for now!

A little update. Inspired by London's 2012 logo design, its youthful, fun and bold, but slightly more friendly and rounded. I like to think anyway. Comments always appreciated.

{post no.17} cities: final installation • 8 June 2009
• 1 comments • Share






This is my final development of my public installation for the Cities brief. Check out the Cities link on the left for a more detailed description of what I wanted to achieve. I have left the installation in place overnight to see what affect the wet weather will have, and take some more photographs tomorrow morning.

I nice immediate outcome of the project: A man approached me tonight, to ask what I was doing and what it was all about. It was nice to inform him of the history of the area and he was very impressed and pleased with what I had done!



{post no.15} what a belter • 6 June 2009
• 0 comments • Share



This is development of some freelance work I am doing. It's a new belt designed to improve a woman's figure. I'm developing a visual style for the belt, and am putting together some posters, flyers, and a website. More to come as it develops!

{post no.6} more time machine and more • 16 May 2009
• 0 comments • Share



With 3 weeks to the Time Machine deadline, this is a midway piece that I created for our Open Studio. I am exploring themes of duality and time, within the book, by allowing the text to be read in different ways: behind itself, backwards, in a mirror etc. It explodes the book and allows the reader to be immersed into the book, walk through it and be within the text. Just an explanatory piece, I am pursuing these ideas further with more research and exploration.

Other than my current university brief, I am creating my portfolio, my cv/pdf, and improving my website. All this will hopefully help me get some great internships next year. So if you have any advice or comments about my site, give me a shout.

Also, I have just picked up some branding work. I've been asked to create a logo and campaign for a new product. Can't give out details yet, but watch this space!

Until next time, Rich.



{post no.4} dot dot dots (?) • 7 May 2009

A Daniel Eatock project [link] again pushing the boundaries of design into art.
Here's the example, but our DPS class are taking part in the same project. Between 50 of us we have to fill an A1 sheet of graph paper with a dot in every small square. Thats about 2100 dots each. This challenges us to work collaboratively, and the final evidence will be something controlled and simple that represents great group work.

I'm still not completely convinced of the concept, but we'll see once it finished i suppose...!
