Stop motion piece just for fun. Practice before the robots piece.

This is a stop motion piece I created for my recycling project. It is rough, flawed and needs refining but the idea is clear enough. Hope you like it.

Books, lots of books.

I have been looking at different book making techniques over the last week or so. I want to see if a small book would be a successful canvas for my illustration and narratives. I worked with Lucy Schofield on Friday who really got me interested in all things books. Here are three I created. The first is a small flip book cropped and bound with two screw bolts. The second is a slightly larger flip book bound with string and the third is a simple stapled book. I looked into what would be applicable for sending out to people, thinking about cost, size and functionality.

Flash experiment

I recently had a flash tutorial at university. We were taught the basics of flash, how to import images and create movements. After the tutorial I wanted to create a small animation, I used some type I had creates and used the tools on flash to create a moving title. I wanted to make it look like blood cells floating. Getting to grips with flash has opened up new possibilities for visualising my work and ideas.

(The file hasn't illustrated the smooth movements created in flash)
