Junk Mail. Abstract poetry.

This is a beautiful, moving and the most truthful bit of literature that I have ever read. Sent to me in the form of junk mail.

'Separate, loiseau, who was unsteady on his feet nannie is
the permanency and copes in emergencies. Dr. Wade! Faltered
the old man, with a perceptible why not let me help you?'
he sat up and looked have been difficult to detach its figure
from.'

It has so many layers.

Snow Day!

I have been very productive to day, joining in on my little brothers excitement over his snow day off school. We spent a fair time constructing a beautiful snow house. I think I might sleep in there late.

Stereographics

When in my final year I worked with the excellent graphic designers Ciara Phelan and Tom Rowe on a pitch for the University of Brighton 'Open Day' poster. Which can now be found in an exciting book from Victionary called 'Stereographics'. Check it out!

The Sorrell Foundation

On monday I had the opportunity to visited the Sorrell Foundation and sit in on one of their workshops. The Sorrell Foundation empower the voice and opinions of school pupils in the design or refurbishment of their schools. The pupils create a brief which is set to architects and designers. The issues raised from the school pupils range from bully in toilets to how welcoming the reception is. The Sorrell Foundation view the pupils as clients, which is a refreshing approach to design.

Happy New Year!
