Arrived late and into the darkness of the main room in Fabric, which was packed out, showing a ‘future shorts’ french movie. Thank you to the kind person who tried to explain what was going on, to me. This was followed by a presentation by Ian Hambleton (curator of the Glug events and Studio Output bod). Some cool graphics/ augmented reality project but couldn’t see over peoples heads. Must check it out on-line later.

Next Mr Bingo told us about his recent ‘Hate Mail’ project. Pretty awesome- shame he’s not sending any more. What a character!

Alex from Airside presented a poinant overview/farewell to Airside. These guys where my heroes during my Graphic Design degree- sad they are closing their doors. They ended with the farewell video (below) and some freebie calendars thrown into the audience. (I ‘bagged’ and Airside bag- woop!)

Next up – Moving brands took us through the new HP brand identity (the print company not the sauce). And a project involving printing chocolate in 3D. Yum!

Lastly Jason Tozer talked about a Diamonds shoot he did recently. I like the fact that he didn’t want to shoot diamonds in a traditional way (boring!) and instead got some lovely graphic images from shooting them the wrong way up. Good philosophy to look at things from a different angle.

To end it all Anthony Burrill showcased the ‘Five Stages of Rave’ – very weird to be in Fabric, massive base vibrating the room, mesmerising graphics playing on a screen yet everyone on the dance floor is standing still and silent…

Last night, I took myself and my camera on an adventure to check out Vogue Fashion’s Night Out event in London. If you didn’t hear about it, VFNO is a one evening event where fashion outlets/ boutiques etc in central London offer all sorts of treats! Cocktails, DJ’s, freebies, new collections showcases and appearances from designers. Lots more photos to come, but here’s a quick montage:

Weddings have taken over my life recently! But on the flip side it allows me to indulge in my hobby of hunting for cool vintage items. I have set up a blog to post my findings and thoughts.

There seems to be a trend of ‘retro-feel’ images going around. Not having an iPhone (yet?) and the super cool app: Hipstamatic, I found an online application called Poladroid instead. Not only does it have a really great little interface, it develops some great image effects too! Here are a few samples I generated.

Some time ago, I designed and built a great little  website for Flix Media, a worldwide online media agency. I’m pleased to say that, based on my supplied templates and animations, the in house team at Flix Media have now generated websites for their branches across the US, Europe and Japan.
