The RWE workshop

Yesterday I took part in the next phase of the Real Work Experience a project run by Thinkpublic. 7 Workshops ran up and down the country and I headed the one base at the university of Brighton. It went amazingly well and I wanted to thank all the people that join up. As the RWE workshop was a competition, the idea of what the RWE will be that the group at Brighton came up with will be judges by Thinkpublic. If the idea is chosen by Thinkpublic it will be put into action.

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

I finally got round to re-designing the Sine//Square//Saw blog, way not head over there and check it out (www.sine-square-saw.blogspot.com).

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.
