Age Concern

I had a interesting and inspiring visit to the Barking and Dagenham offices of Age Concern today where I interviewed Shirley Rice the befriender co-ordinator. I went to research into the problem of loneliness and social isolation in older people for a RSA brief called 'Action for Age'. Shirley Rice has been the first person I have contacted for this project and has given me a lot of useful information. Thank you Shirley!

Sine//Square//Saw Update

The Real Work Experience

I had the pleasure of visiting Thinkpublic yesterday where I was trained up for my duties as the head of Brighton's workshop that is taking place on the 21st. The workshop will focus on social design and will be tackling the problems that face a design student/graduate who is interested in getting into social orientated work. It's open to any graduate or student, so if you want to get involved and live in the Brighton area please get in contact via email (adotellison@googlemail.com).

Nice signage

I have been meaning to post this for awhile, its a nice bit of signage I found at Hainault forest. Also I have posted a little illustration work. Yep Yep!

Mail Out

I have just finished my biggest update on my website since its launch. The last few months have been busy with many self initiated projects on the go, one with the aim of getting some non-self initiated projects. The mail out project was based on the sercuity patterns found in envelopes, and I produced a A3 double sided poster and a set of postcards. For more images and more work go to my website www.adamellison.co.uk.

New life

Well I have finished my mail out project (photos will be up soon) which has given me sometime to finally move in properly. While going through old stuff I found some pieces of work that I thought deserved to see the light of day, if only for a bit. Most of these pieces where done around the age of 16 i think. enjoy.

PENGINEER

I am glad to announce the launch of the pengineer website, which I have had the pleasure to work on the past few months. The site contains the brilliant work of the pengineer collective, Tom Cole, Tim Hattrick, David Brownings, Alex Hough and Simon Brooks. I will also hopefully be a 'guest' illustrator in there next zine. Check them out at www.penginer.co.uk.
