Screen printing!

The other day I did some screen printing for the first time properly. I didn't really appreciate the time that it took to do these. But I'm incredibly happy with the outcome! :)

Lomography | Print piece

Lomography is a Magazine, a Shop, and a Community dedicated to analogue photography. It is a fun, and thrilling opportunity to put life back into photography, igniting a new style of artistic experimental photography for everyone. Photographers who use digital cameras generally have a tendency to delete unflattering images and then upload them onto a social network site.  Some may even store them onto their computer and remain there for many years without being viewed again. Lornography results in having the film developed into tangible photographs that you can hold in your hands. Having the film developed means the photographs are not viewed as they are taken and therefore waiting for the results can be more exciting. The photographs can then be put in frames, put on walls or albums so they can be viewed over and over again.

Lomography is not currently reaching out to a broader audience of older people and even some young people. Lomography can be used by all sorts of different people so it doesn’t matter what your age, profession or style is. The slogan of the campaign is ‘How do you use yours?’ asking a direct question to the audience. With this in mind I have created 10, 10 second adverts to reach out to all types of different people with very different skills, backgrounds and hobbies. I have also created a print piece, which highlights the 10 lomography prophecies also including a little introduction to Lomography. The idea of Lornography means that people are able to use the camera to take situations and opportunities that are suited and personal to the user.

I can't put up the adverts but I can show you my print piece. See below!

It's made entirely out of one A3 sheet which folds out and is carefully folded. All photography is my own.

Manifesto: If things were different

For the first university project of this term, we were asked to write a manifesto. I wrote two, one serious and one less serious- see one here. Here is my other written, designed and produced manifesto. It was only a week project but I did a publication, four poster designs and set up a twitter account. 

Jonathan Barnbrook was meant to come in and critique our work but he had a call from a client to get work done for a client so he couldn't make it. He kindly tweeted back however, and apologised :)


The manifesto is about things that I would change if I could / if things were different. Some of these things are things that irritate me as well. The twitter account is set up for anyone who would like to join this little campaign to share what irritates them and what they would change if they could. So if you have a twitter account, tweet @irritate_ with #ifthingsweredifferent and tell me. My favourite tweets will be produced into posters for an entry into my 3rd year end of year degree show. So get tweeting!!

The publication is a concertina and stretches out.

Little information strips to get people tweeting to @irritate_
