//Like Father/Like Daughter//

So I've had this little mania with apple stickers for a while now. 

As I type this, I'm reminded that I have yet to desticker our flat as I stick them everywhere.

I mean everywhere.

I love getting away with sticking a new sticker onto someone's door or possession

and them not noticing.

It's a full-on guilty pleasure. I'm like a sneaky little apple sticker sticking imp.

And I'd forgotten that I'm not the only one who does this.

My Dad does it too. But only on his lunchbox lid because he's an adult.

Funny how you don't notice these things isn't it?

Nanoquarks & Jellybeans

For a project earlier in the year, we had to explain the process of nanoquarks turning into jellybeans. Yes, it is as odd as it seems. But I thought it's a pretty funny little flipbook, why not share it?

Vintage cleaning products ...

...which turns my dad's karate suit pink on the collar. hahaha...but I just like the box.

Pictures.

Quips and giggles

So now I've finished uni for the year I have no excuse not to blog.

On that vein, here's the animations that I did for the corporate identity of my TV channel.

It's called Quip. 

It's intelligent comedy.

Witty not humorous.

and here's the other two ...

So worth the stress

Okay, so I didn't use the flowers that I spent ages pressing.

Pressing flowers is a valuable life skill, like knitting, not that I know how to knit like.

Anyway.

This is the final set of my boundaries/Hamlet/sense and nonsense posters.

I now have loads of them as the plotter doesn't like to print on card so it prints it again when you put the roll back on as if it doesn't believe you've already printed. Silly thing.

Despite this, I'm kind of proud of these. 

Whoever knew that you could press flowers with a microwave?

One of my posters for my final major project is about a scene with Ophelia in it and since she talks about flowers a lot and my tutors are really into me using the context of the scene to influence the design... and to err.. not use my mac so much....what? I finally worked it out! 

But I totally get what they mean so I thought ooo I could press my own as a background. So I went and bought some and put them in a book, with many books on top of them (see picture) but they really weren't that pressed after 2 days. So, after a little research, I then discover that you should really leave them for several weeks not days. 

Now, I don't have weeks so I was pleased to discover that you can put them in the microwave for 30 seconds to a min at a time to speed up the process. Yes, the microwave! But a small warning, it does smell and the pages of your book do get stained (you put the book in the microwave too) but it don't half work a treat! 

Just got to wait for them to dry out now.
