Northern Line

On my travels around LDN I managed to snap this advertisement on the tube whilst on the Northern Line. I can't remember which stop it was, but I thought it'd be nice to document one of the varying compositions regarding my previous post whilst I actually had a camera to hand!



I actually love the vintage vibe so much and the fact that it's a recycling campaign that doesn't use green. Hallelujah.

Recyclage De Luxe

Conducting some background research for this post has probably been one of the most frustrating things that I have done all summer; besides working in a crap job every week and living in an area where 95% of its population are on the verge of popping their clogs... It could always be worse though right?

Anyway, with the luxury of having my car back for the past couple of months I have been enjoying the pleasant views of some billboards on every street corner, most of which try to sell me an ideal lifestyle via one product or another... 95% of which making me wish that it was me on the verge of popping my clogs! However, this ad in particular (well, one very similar) caught my eye and actually almost caused me to crash into the back of another driver just outside my local Asda...


After a quick browse on the internet, it became apparent that it was designed by a collective agency called Mother (or Mother Creative), which in turn branches out worldwide into Mother London or Mother New York for example. Either way, I cannot for the life of me find a website of theirs that hosts a viewable portfolio of work. So I am kind of in a rut as the trail goes cold rather quickly. (Message me if you know of it!)

Non-the-less, the approach to this composition that I have managed to post on here really appeals to me for its vintage 60's vibe and collage style techniques... two key elements of design that I am just a sucker for; and most people know it!

On the whole, I feel the campaign itself comes across very fresh and revitalizing in the current climate of design that I see around the streets and hopefully I can unearth some of the other compositions that I have on my travels recently Ideally I might just have my camera to hand the next time I know I will be going past them ey?

Johnny Cupcakes

Attended the Johnny Cupcakes lecture yesterday held at the college and I'm not going to lie, I thought it might have been a little dull before I went in. On the contrary however, it was really insightful as well as inspiring mainly due to the fact that the brand has been developed literally out the back of a van... no big investors, no lottery winnings. Just blood, sweat and tears from your average everyday guy. Good on him.

Sete Dias // Cristiana Couceiro

I think this is a woman after my own heart. Well, clearly not... but she could have it if she wanted to given her design work. Collage combined alongside digital references and a slight nod to the Russian constructivists that I love so much; you can't get much better than this. Love the colours, love the composition - grid structures combining type and image. I think I'll have to stop there, I'm getting a bit hot under the collar. Here's some imagery.

Jacob Arden McClure

I won't lie, I found this guy's work whilst browsing through some third year research blogs. Absolutely love it. I think it's an established fact by now that I have a major soft spot for collage and this is by no means an exception.




Really like how the majority of the compositions seem to have been put together digitally; an aspect I really need to start getting involved with... I can't keep cutting up my treasured 1940's newspapers and books everyday now can I really!?

I'm also really into the way that digital graphics themselves have been bought into use; again something else that I MUST get going with.

Lovely stuff

OUGD104 Visual Language Evaluation

What practical skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

Throughout the course of this module I feel that many valuable lessons and techniques have been learnt in terms of carrying out a design process both practically and theoretically given the decisions applied that help to inform an outcome. In specific reference to the 'What is a line?' brief, the most beneficial skill learnt in regards to taking an idea forward was the ability to edit and manipulate both audio and video footage using the software package Adobe Premiere Pro. Although I had already acquired the basic skills from my days in A-levels, I feel that since exploring what could be accomplished I have rapidly expanded and pushed my abilities further to produce a more professional looking selection of work. What's more, through being given a considerable amount of time in which to complete the brief I believe that I have been able to focus directly on improving my time management skills and thus keep a stronger sense of rhythm in relation to creative output and workload. This however could still be improved as at times I slipped out of routine, but with time management on the whole... there will forever be room to improve.

To look back further into module, the in class workshops such as Visual Literacy have most certainly assisted me in learning the benefits of simple crafting techniques and the advantages of working from cut pieces of paper. In addition, the ability to be able to workout how to draw in terms of perspective has also been very important, as well as the theories behind drawing icons and schematics.

What approaches to/methods of problem solving have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

As previously mentioned, I have definitely developed a stronger sense of awareness and time management through being given a significant about of breathing space in which to complete the brief. To be more specific, as a result of keeping an on-going sketchbook that I have contributed to almost everyday I have learnt that a considerable amount of work and work related research can be built up even if you only re-visit it for smaller periods of time, but at a more frequent level. In my personal opinion, this has informed my design process mostly in the sense that I was able to make more relevant and selected decisions on how to take my project forward knowing that I had a varied and able bodied amount of research to support and back up my proposals. Furthermore, as with the previous module I have found the past four to five months really beneficial in correspondence to keeping a blog and gaining feedback from ever evolving updates.

What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

From my personal point of view, I am particularly fond of the resolutions created where individual clips of sound were amalgamated to produce a representative sound-scape of the journeys that I have been on. Furthermore, in documenting peoples interactive paths of conversation I feel that I have not only developed a particularly interesting and spontaneous approach to data collection, but a method that also be both serious and humorous at the same time. Had I have been more specific regarding my focus, I almost certain that this would have been the avenue to explore further in order to create a more comprehensive and engaging final resolution.

What weakness can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?

Although this wasn't directly specified within the brief, I would have definitely liked to have allocated more time to producing and developing a body of final resolutions as opposed to a sustained progression on my overall workload and research. With that said, I am otherwise fairly happy in terms of conceptual development and progress; I would have just liked to have produced a lot, lot more and given myself the time to exploit its potentials for an interesting resolution.

Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

1. Limit the range of ideas that I try to develop and instead develop a more focussed selection more comprehensively... hopefully an informed final resolution will be achievable this way!

2. Build upon my skills in Premiere Pro as I have come to realise just how much I like video and audio editing; especially when united for a single resolution.

3. Again; yes Fred, I would like to have managed my time slightly better! HOWEVER, I do feel that I have made considerable progress with this aspect since the previous module.

4. I certainly want to draw more; I should have done more within the 'What is a line?' brief, but it ended up going down a different route. I love drawing and can't let my enthusiasm with this go to waste!

5. Be sure to document the progressive stages of ideas; i.e storyboards and so on. I think a lot of what goes on in my head is lost to a desire to progress rapidly with a resolution.

Are there any things we could have done differently that would have benefited your progress?

Not really; I feel this module is really well structured and allows for a level of freedom that helps you to develop as an individual. In all honesty, I'm sure there's something negative to say somewhere but I haven't thought of it as yet... I do like a good moan.

How would you grade yourself on the following areas?

Attendance - 5

Punctuality - 3 or 4

Motivation - 3 or 4

Commitment - 3 or 4

Quantity of work produced - 4

Quality of work produced - 4

Contribution to the group - 5

Ketamine

As the deadline for my 'What is line?' brief sharply approaches, one aspect of the exploration that is proving to be of some interest relates to the body of found materials collected from the journeys that I have been making on a daily basis. To be more specific, it is quite surprising to discover just how many personal details are carelessly thrown away for wonderful people like myself to find.. not to forget that this includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, mobile telephone numbers and most alarmingly; credit card details. You would have thought that the kinds of stories you hear on the news would have had some impact upon people... oh well?

As a result, a possible idea that I had in mind for a final resolution centered around the notion of contacting all of the numbers that I have acquired so far and to obtain their views on the question set by the brief; subsequently converting the results into what would most likely be a typographic piece.

I'll be honest with you now, the idea did not work in the slightest...



As you can see I opted to send a text message in order to outline who I was, what my reasons for communicating them were and to ask for their response. It would also more importantly keep the information received by each number consistent and allow me to not have to speak anyone that might end up giving me an earful of abuse. I can't really imagine the kind of replies I would have gotten should I have rang each person up directly...

Either way only one person replied for which their response was "Line of ket!" It was someone occupying a room at my halls; Liberty Park. Most probably a met student using vital oxygen that I may need at some point in the future? Never mind, it was worth a shot!

Re: Bill Fontana

I think I may have just stumbled across some absolute pieces of gold. These videos encapsulate everything I want to explore within my own video and audio editing journey; even to the point of the location setting... train stations.

I really like the ways in which they have been edited as despite not being of a linear fashion, they appear to be very effective in portraying a pleasant representation of the environment that the sounds were recorded in.

I do find the imagery boring however, but nevermind...

Time to get experimenting!

Sentence Drawing Responses

Completed these drawings in response to the design I found in Dataflow earlier in the week. Pretty fun, but also the most time consuming thing I have ever done in my life. I adhered to the rules set similarly to the original. Each word was allocated 8mm and the line turned right ninety degrees each time I had to map a new sentence. The bodies of text used were the conversations taken from my sketchbook as shown previously.





My only regret is that I could have gotten more done!

VJ (continued)

In addition to the video by Coldcut posted earlier last month, I have also managed to stumble upon a few more VJ'ing beauties whilst watching the VJ book's accompanying disc that has a whole host of contributions from artists such as D-fuse, Scanner, The Light Surgeons and also Coldcut themselves - (credit again to Ollie for lending me it).

Despite that out of the 3 relevant videos on the disc not being hosted ANYWHERE on the internet, I have in fact managed to pursue my search and unearth this alternate video by HFR-LAB:



Although it doesn't make use of sounds from the environment as much as I would like to myself, I feel the creative use of video depicts the sense of a journey alone and is a technique I'd like to explore further considering my video editing skills are relatively poor at this moment in time.

Had I have been able to find 'Memories [edit]' by D-fuse, Scanner and Shelley Fox as well as 'Reel 9 [edit]' by The Light Surgeons then it would have easier to display how audio and conversation have been merged and incorporated into the mixes to create an engaging piece both by sound and image...something I aim to achieve given the audio acquired from travels to and from home

x

Note: The original HFR-LAB video I intended to show can now be found here.

Sentence Drawing

Just flicking through Dataflow today and came across this gem of a design, highly relevant in relation to my conversation and discussion documentation quest.


The basic idea with this was to map out the entire contents of a book though proportionally allowing a certain measurement for every word within a sentence. The whole sentence could then be mapped with its given measurement on the paper. After each sentence was complete, the line turned right 90 degrees and the next sentence was penned etc etc. Each colour represents a category that the sentence relates to and wah lah... The result is what you see here.

Best get experimenting to be honest.

Si Scott // Paper Scissor Stone

To put this in it's most simplest of terms; my day today was brilliant. The sun was shining, everyone was in an awesome mood and the general vibe around the studio was nothing short of optimistic. Good times.

To top it off though, I decided to take a trip down to Si Scott's new shop in the evening - Paper Scissor Stone. It's a pretty damn sweet outlet and the clothes stocked there are rather nice; even if they don't really lend themselves to a student's typical budget. But alas, the main purpose of the outing wasn't to buy clothes... it was to attend the opening/launch party that included free drinks, Si's artwork auctioning and a one off viewing of some original ink sketches prior to their development into final resolutions. I have to say it was nice to see the honesty of the work before their alterations; especially as most of it was presented on ripped out, dog-eared layout paper or scraps of cartridge paper taken from sketchbooks. It made life feel a little more achievable and gave me a new sense of motivation and inspiration.

Anyway, I tell a lie. The real icing on the cake was this...



A personal piece of illustration completed in a live drawing demonstration by the man himself. Now there's something that you don't see everyday. Stoked. In fact, that's probably the biggest understatement of the year; and what's more it's going to be completed in a couple of weeks when he comes into college for a seminar.

Out.

Re: Dan Eatock

Since stumbling across this guy a few weeks back, I have found his work to be quite inspirational and exciting due to it's quirky and often quite amusing nature. It's probably fair to say that I should have posted a little bit about him a lot earlier than I have; but after all, I am a student and the guidebook says I can always use that excuse within any given situation.

One of the most relevant pieces of work in terms of 'What is a line?' in my opinion is Black > Blank, where as outlined on his website:

'A laser printer containing a new toner cartridge constantly printed a black A4 document, sent from the computer, until the toner ran empty and a pure white sheet emerged un-printed. As the pages exited the printer they were stacked face up. The completed stack contains the entire contents of the toner cartridge, the bottom page is black, the top page is white, between is the transition, demise, depletion, expiration of black to blank, full to empty.


Weird, but it works I guess?

Another piece that links into my personal focus quite well is the radio advert completed for popular T.V show Big Brother...

Listen here.

I've drafted up an idea to mimic this as an experiment using the phrase 'What is a line?' The result should be a series of twenty four ways to say the same thing. I'll keep you posted when I get it complete.

Lastly, I also quite enjoyed the idea behind his piece '£1 Recording'

£1 Recording

1. Using a ten pence piece dial your answer machine from a public telephone
2. Let the answer machine record the sounds from the public telephone for the duration of the ten pence piece
3. Repeat (step one and two) ten times from ten different locations

The total duration of the piece will depend on the locations and time of each call

Total time = £1

All really inventive ways to document sounds through a connected series of events in my opinion. Could really work in relation to journeys on public transport and the conversation observations that have been developing throughout my sketchbook work...

x

Sketchbook Update

I thought it'd be relevant to post a few of my favourite images in relation to the sketchbook work that I have been keeping over the duration of this brief. A large amount of my initial responses were mostly collage based as you might have guessed and the main aim was to just develop a broad sense of initial ideas and to see where it might take me.


As an ever developing and progressing body of work however, many of my most recent contributions have begun to construct a way in which I am able to document discussion and conversation between multiple groups of people in any given area. Obviously given the fact that I am not the quickest writer in the world and definitely not educated in shorthand, the sentences that I have managed to record have often produce a very disjointed and sometimes quite funny body of text.





As a result of this, I'd be very interested in perhaps continuing with this direction of recording method and to see what sorts of dialogue can be noted down in longer or even shorter durations of time. They could make for some very engaging final resolutions that's for sure...

x

Wakefield Westgate

Another audio/video mix here, this time completed using sounds captured from my train journeys home, that being Leeds to Norwich. I chose to focus the response more towards the style of 'Timber' by Coldcut and the Sacla pesto television advert. Obviously this is not a patch on the standards that they have produced, but in the most achievable sense I have tried to convey a stronger feeling of rhythm and tempo. All linear editing and primarily speech orientated. You'll see why I have titled it 'Wakefield Westgate' when you watch.

Sacla Pesto

Saw this on the box the other day and thought it'd tie in quite nicely for my research into 'What is a line?' Sequential sounds edited using video and audio combined; not too distant to what I am trying to achieve within this module.

What is a line? - An Intentional Statement

To give some clarification on the 'What is a line' front, I have finally narrowed down my direction of focus towards two main areas; even though a third might act as an on going sub-exploration if you will? In opting for the stimulus dictating the notion of "a connected series of events, actions or developments" the most promising direction for me so far is increasingly appearing to be that of sound-scaping (possibly VJ'ing to some); as a method of documenting audio and video simultaneously. As already researched, many adverts on television tend to use this, not to mention the many artists within the music industry that I have yet to document on this blog. In reference to this specific idea, I intend to research into minimalist composers as this form of music lends itself well to the direction in which I intend to take this project; the notion being that music can be created in linear sequences where no two notes/drums are hit at the same time.

In addition to this, I am very interested in documenting the journeys that I will be embarking upon over the duration of the coming two months. I'm keen to pursue this through the forms photography as well as illustration, but more significantly through found materials that will allow me to produce collaged work within sketchbooks and notebooks. What's more, video recording may also be of some relevance should I cross reference my ideas back to the processes mentioned above.

Finally and perhaps less importantly, I am quite intruiged to document the deconstruction of various items, objects and events as a way of flipping the idea of progression on it's head. Although this is interesting on a more abstract level, I am not ceretain as to how much I may persue this path given the time available.

x

Timber by Coldcut

Cheers to Ollie for introducing me to this... Another video which pretty much hits the nail on the head with what I want to achieve throughout this unit; more so than anything else I have come across so far to be honest.



I have some sounds collected from my journeys to/from home. That's about six hours worth of train traveling each time I visit. Stayed tune for an update soon.

Video Experiment 01 part two

The alternate edit of my original video experiment as promised. Think it works a lot better than the first draft; the audio aspect is much stronger and suitable to what I want to achieve. Still room for improvement however, but I'm not going to polish a turd... time to move onto bigger and better ideas.

Video Experiment 01 part one

Completed this a couple of nights ago, it's my first real experimentation using video editing software since my first year of A levels; I'm a bit rusty so many apologies for that. The editing style I was trying to aim for was in the vain of Prodigy's video for 'Smack My Bitch Up' that I posted earlier this month as research. I'm a big fan of the choppy and slightly disorientated outcome. For my own video I decided to use a favourite music track of mine on top of the originally recorded sound (Early Grave by Architects). I simply made this decision as it was the track that I was listening to on the recorded footage. In all honesty, I'm Not really sure if I like the final result; it's a bit gimmicky like a music video... it's a bit of a silly thing to say I know; but it just didn't turn out as successful as I would have liked. It's also not really the path I had intended for this project to take. Overall, it would have perhaps been more successful to just use the natural sound from the journey itself. I'll post an alternative once complete!

Re: Prodigy

If you don't know of this video I'm sure you've had your head in some sand for the past decade! Highly controversial, but I like it and it lends itself well to what I want to achieve within my 'What is a line?' brief.



Sadly as anticipated, this is the only clip I could find anywhere on the internet as it has been banned from most places.That's what the world is coming to I guess? Really like the editing style. Scratchy, chopped and confusing to the eyes. Would like to try documenting some of my journeys in this format; it relates well to The Chariot videos posted previously as well. Nice Nice.

OUGD102 Design Process Evaluation

What practical skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

Over the duration of this module I feel that I have learnt numerous techniques which have helped me to develop on both a personal and professional level. In terms of hand crafted approaches, the most valuable skill I have learnt would be the process of binding and creating a full-section, perfect bound book. Not only did this look professional and slick given the correct craftsmanship, it also helped to inform my design process whilst dealing with the question 'what is a book?' Furthermore, in working with digital design for a book it was more than useful being familiarized with the program Indesign. Overall this definitely helped me to accomplish an array of mock up publications as well as final pieces.

What approaches to/methods of problem solving have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

On a personal level, I found this module really beneficial in correspondence to keeping a blog and gaining feedback from ever evolving updates. In addition, the habit of keeping design sheets and visually communicating ideas was essential in being able to develop my design process and therefore advance with the multiple approaches I had operating at any given time. Group work was also good in sharing methods of approach whilst rebounding ideas from one person to the next.

What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

From my point of view, I am particularly fond of the resolutions created where I worked alongside the subject matter in question; Joker cards in this instance. Most primarily, the bolt hinged cards were of significant success and should the idea have lent itself to presenting 100 cards more appropriately I would have most definitely pushed this further overall. In addition to this, I feel my research for this module was well informed and therefore lead to stronger idea development and design progression.

What weakness can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?

Although contradictory to the context of the brief, I would have liked to have reached a more professional level in terms of the final resolutions that were produced. Furthermore, I felt that in some cases I only scratched the surface with some methods of approach and as a result I would be more inclined to limit the range of design processes that I try to deal with in any given brief.

Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

1. Limit the range of ideas that I try to develop and instead develop a more focussed selection more comprehensively

2. Engage with my blog posting even more than previously as this seems to be an ever more useful process of acquiring feedback and development suggestions

3. Im going to try and keep myself busy between one module to the next as letting myself out of routine has notably resulted in a lack of motivation in some instances.

4. Build upon my skills with Indesign as I have come to realise this is a very useful piece of software; especially in conjunction with designing for a book.

5. Yes fred, I want to manage my time better! I have the worst sleeping patterns at the best of times and this can often lead to idling about the studio.

Are there any things we could have done differently that would have benefitted your progress?

Take a more aggressive line on how constructive feedback should be given, and not to book out mac suites and print rooms on days where you are going to pen in mandatory crit sessions.

How would you grade yourself on the following areas?

Attendance - 5

Punctuality - 3 or 4

Motivation - 2

Commitment - 3 or 4

Quantity of work produced - 3

Quality of work produced - 3

Laughing Is Fun For Everyone

Sadly I can't embed this video onto my blog because the BBC is a letdown, but either way follow this link and you'll soon discover how good laughing is for your health. You might even feel a little better yourself after watching it, it's well worth the click of a mouse button.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7870141.stm

For me it kind of ties in with the 100 rips video produced by Jimmy in the third year. Seeings as I'm on a roll I don't seem to be able to get hold of that either, but the main thing to for me is how the context of laughter (as a development from 'Joker') can have a beneficial and contextual purpose.

A video of '100 Laughs' anybody?

Status Report 2

With the ever increasing pressure of getting this module complete, I bring to you a late night whirlwind round up of what has been going on over the past week or two in regards to my book of 100. Don't get your hopes up though, I still intend to maintain a good level of communication to keep you all well informed; put the kettle on now if you were thinking about it within the last 10 minutes or so...

First of all, as planned I finally got around to revisiting my approach of working with a book that was crafted from one sheet of paper. In referencing back to the work of Deb Rindl, I gave his method a shot which involved a very structured way of folding and cutting to get an A2 sheet of paper down into a tidy 'book like' creation. From completing this process I found that the book itself was quite novelty despite not having a content or designed finish, but once folded out into its original form it became quite irritating and not very user friendly; at least not to hold up with your hands anyway. With this under my belt I still deemed it relevant to design a few mock up ideas of what would perhaps be suitable for the posters content given its format. In looking back to some initial research, I took slight influence from Asli Kalinglu's 'Post-graduate of Fine Arts Catelogoue' which used an array of bright colours and simple type to house a very effective stylistic.





From here I similarly revisited a previous idea that I felt needed further development due to the feedback received in various crit sessions. Most primarily it was noted that I should round-off the corners of my A5 booklet to give it a more card like style that was obviously relevant to its content. Even though this was more of a finishing touch to the re-designing process, I think the overall idea was very beneficial although I would like to have seen it done using a professional die cutting system as opposed to my crafty hands and some scissors.



In terms of page design itself, I additionally inserted a copyrights page for a professional looking aesthetic and also rounded off the corners of my imagery to enhance the playing card stylistic in conjunction with the corners of the booklet all together.




With the most significant of my developments now complete, I subsequently began to look at a few binding methods that made use of the playing cards themselves. First and foremost, I researched into a range of old Japanese techniques due to the fact that playing cards are thought to have originated from Japan and China. Traditionally however, this method of stitching used hemp as a form of thread but as this wasn't available to me at the time I used contemporary wool that you might see your Grandma making a scarf out of. I wish this idea would have lent itself to 100 playing cards more than what it did.



Another idea that I wish would have worked with 100 cards in one solid entity was this method of using a bolted hinge to form a slide-out booklet not to dissimilar to paint swatch testers you'd find in stores such as B&Q. In looking back, had this approach been more suitable to what I had planned then I would have most certainly developed it into a final resolution. Not only do I feel it is interesting, engaging and above all; accessible. I think it's novelty aesthetic helps to house the purpose and context more appropriately than any of the other processes that I have come across so far. Ten books of ten would have been an ideal way to take this further had I have been able to acquire ten identical bolts. Shame.





Last but by no means least, a more abstract avenue that I decided to take my ideas down was in the form of a hand illustrated joke book. In looking at designers such as David Shrigley, David Foldvari and Seb Jarnot in particular, I felt that a really loose and relaxed approach to the illustration would be more suitable for what I was trying to convey. Overall as a final format, I borrowed the idea of using pull out postcards at A5 scale to house my 100 collected jokes/things that people found funny. Although I didn't get to complete this idea to it's full potential either I would have like to have used a heat binding process that allowed each card to be accessable within its own right for the purpose of perhaps being used as mini posters. In looking at the most suitable way of completing this, I would more likely be inclined to produce ten books of ten that would act as a collectable series; thus maintaining a higher level of interest.




Over and out.

Re: The Chariot

Ok, I am quite into a band called The Chariot; might know them might not? I don't know. Either way, here are a couple of their music videos shot using just still photography. Think it ties into well some of my 'What is a line?' ideas as it's theoretically all linear based editing such as in conventional animation. If you don't like the noise then just mute it and watch the style.

Contemporary Time Lines; sort of...

Well well well, where better to nick a bit of inspiration from than the very home grown talents of third year BA Graphic Design. Kyle Bibby, I have never spoken to you; but I have seen you and have heard a lot about you. I might salute you soon as well; dig this.


Kind of taps into my love for beards, moustaches and general facial furniture. Also gives me a few ideas in regards to using moving image/animation. What is a line? I hear you ask... It's a documentation of time of course!

P.s Kylebibby.co.uk - worth a look.

Re: Olivier Kugler

It brings back a few memories looking at Kugler's work; I haven't done so since my early days of A-levels. Really nice to see a few new additions on his website. Anyway, I just absolutely love his illustrative approach combined with use of colour, the latter of which I believe is done digitally. I feel his style and techniques fit in perfectly regarding the context of the 'What is a line?' brief. I have a few ideas for documenting journeys as a connected series of events myself so this may well be influential within those.
