Messy branding exercise with third year Fashion Design & Technology students

So, I had a lovely creative day yesterday (always fun when you get to do something a bit different at your day job!) I ran a branding/identity workshop with third year Promoters on the Fashion Design & Technology BA at The Arts University Bournemouth - as Promoters they tend to work digitally a great deal, and miss out on the hands-on work that the Makers (by default) get to do more of; so I got them thinking about their brand through some lino printing and making their own rubber stamps. Kat (‘Mumford’) came up with something that she is really happy with simply through the limitations and restrictions the tools/materials provided - next week we are going to digitise her ideas, using Illustrator to create her logo proper. Obviously I had a go too, which helped generate some ideas for my No Cure For Curiosity Zine project with artist Paul Hearn.

› Is Origami the Future of Tech?

I use Origami and Kirigami a fair bit, and it’s a simple and inspiring activity for creative workshops with people of all ages… gets the brain thinking in weird and wonderful ways - if it interests you then this article’s worth a read

Last week I finished my first collaborative web project with David Churchill of Wonkaweb - we’ve been busy building a site for brand new business venture The Glebe House B&B and Self Catering Holidays. I developed their simple branding before we started with the web site, including their business card, and David has ensured that our design has been realised into a fantastic and easy to use site.

It really is a beautiful spot, so if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, just moments form Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove then get in touch with Sue and Peter before they get too booked up!
