Blog Update - January 2011 New Job Since leaving London doing various bits of work experience I have come to earn some money so that I can venture back up to London in the near future and find a design job. In the mean time I am working at an independent photography shop in Devon and I still like to keep my habits by doing little small projects to keep my eye on what I still want to do, as well as using old film cameras and enjoying flickr and being at home. I had a play above with an idea I wanted to do quickly, I have always had a love of grimey car parks. Photography was done kindly by my friend Elliot Spencer who operates out of Fremington, Devon and is a rising Photographer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50305212@N03/

Portfolio Re-design Fall 2010

Because of having a little free time to myself, it was time for me to sit down and re-organise my portfolio which meant getting in the studio and re-shooting my work and then editing images and a few hours of photoshop and indesign. I’m almost there in the hope of taking to some interviews soon.

The top photo is an extract of Fidelity book, the middle is a pile of ‘scumbag” totes and the bottom is a screen printed poster from the fidelity speed dating night, all from my final major project which ended in June.
