Back to Scuni!

While i was at uni, one of my favourite things to do was screenprinting. A lost artform in today's modern idiom, and one i got really into for most of my briefs.
One project in particular was designing album artwork (i'll post that another day) and i did some prints for it. Each one contains lyrics from the album, pictures of objects in the lyrics and a surrealist scene;

The Udder Side

Last bit of uni work, I promise! (unless i decide to upload my old screenprints)

My final major project had to relate to our critical papers, which were about the environment.
Since my paper was about alternatives to paper to express the message of saving the planet, i decided to refer to one paragraph about how cows were being used as moving adverts..
...yes, my final project was dedicated to cows! It was mainly a website though, although i did some advertising for it. The idea was to expose both the good sides and the bad sides to the cow's existence, for example- milk + calcium= good, methane from farts= bad (i wish i could remember the rest!)

Basia Bulat

Back in February, I was shortlisted for a competition called The Ffres Awards. It's a student design contest held in Wales (i studied at the University of Wales, Newport) and my class was given a brief to complete in order to submit it to the Awards.

The brief was to redesign album artwork for a singer/songwriter called Basia Bulat, and produce 2 pieces of merchandise.

Because the lyrics were very deep, I chose to create a surrealist scene, with items made up of objects found in the lyrics, turning metaphors into a scene.
Her music was also described as a breath of fresh air, so i made the front cover bleak and depressing so that you'd open up the inside to reveal a happy, sunny scene!
