sustainable design

Zero Energy: The greenPIX wall
  • The Media Wall will provide the city of Beijing with its first venue dedicated to digital media art
  • Features largest color LED display in the world.
  • First photovoltaic system with glass curtain
  • Greenpix behaves like an organic system, absorbing solar energy during the day and then generating light from the same power that evening

Set Design.

Looking into creating a set for a narrative I am yet to chose, based around world war 2.
War Horse is a good example of this and has recently won the Tony award for Best Scenic Design by Rae Smith.

Exhibition

Once Upon A Wartime delves into the pages of well-loved books, bringing five stories of war dramatically to life.
Adults and children can wander through life-size sets, peer into intricate scale models and explore the stories’ themes of loyalty, separation, excitement, survival and identity.’

Imperial war museum


I have taken a recent interest in war time evacuees, so I decided to re-do my re-inventing illustration brief on this subject. I took a recent trip to the Imperial war museum where there is an exhibition reflecting the young live of children during war-time - including letters and toys from children evacuated from London.

Final Zine

Really difficult to get a good picture of the final piece due to the length.






Please with the final outcome, as I feel the original photographs were of good quality. I enjoyed this project as    
I could play around with the layout and typefaces without being restricted. 
The idea behind this was to create a story from my regular trip from getting off the night bus to my house in Kilburn and how everything becomes creepy and putting things that aren't there into your head.

There's something creepy about these


concentrating on the children of haiti, messing around with these in photocopier and scanner to create a dark atmosphere.

Final typeface in context.



Aimed at 60's breakfast related designs for the kitchen, I think the first design works better as it stands out, trying to portray a easy going, just woken up moment.

Haiti

I'm focusing my project on Unique Contemporary Promotion of band Arcade Fire. After looking into bands background I found they have a strong, serious link with Haiti Earthquake appeal (with family links) so I will be looking at portraying this in my promotion.


                                      
                                      Images from a gig they preformed at Haiti with/for residents effected.


Lyrics from a song named 'Haiti' from Arcade Fire's album Funeral : 

Haiti, mon pays
Wounded mother I'll never see
Ma famille set me free
Throw my ashes into the sea

Mes cousins jamais nes
Hantent les nuits de Duvalier
Rien n'arrete nos espirits
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see

In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go

Tous les morts-nes forment une armee
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth

Haiti, never free
N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme
Tes enfants sont partis
In those days their blood was still warm 

Translating -  Haiti, my country, wounded mother I'll never see. My family set me free. Throw my ashes into the sea. My cousins, never born, haunt the nights of Duvalier. Nothing stops our spirits. Guns can't kill what soldiers can' t see. In the forest we are hiding, unmarked graves where flowers grow. Hear the soldiers angry yelling, in the river we will go.
