Alumni posters

I designed this set of two posters for a project entitled Alumni. The two posters were placed side by side in an exhibition at the University. They incorporate my six year old son’s hand-writing and feature the first and last word in the Oxford Essential English Dictionary (Children’s). The idea is that my son is at the beginning of a long journey of learning. He has just started to read write and spell. He is at the beginning just like the work aardvark. He will undoubtedly use this dictionary in the future as he progresses through his education. I have recorded his letter formation of the moment, and the colours I have used are from his favorite T-shirt of the moment, something personal to him.

Logarithmic spiral

A logarithmic spiral, equiangular spiral or growth spiral is a special kind of spiral curve which often appears in nature. First discovered by Fibonacci, it makes a golden rectangle which is considered aesthetically pleasing.

Autumn leaves

I have been taking photographs of autumn leaves. I love the colours of Autumn, the shocking pink and reds and the vibrant orange and yellows.This has inspired me to make one of the aspects of my identity seasonal, using the images and colours from each of the seasons. The changing of the seasons is a very visible part of the cycle of life.

Here are some photos of leaves I picked up of the ground – the colours look a lot less vibrant and intense than the ones taken outside, lovely shapes for cut-outs though.
