Sal’s Takeaway

In order to be involved in the process and creation of the event and invites, myself and Amy took the role of screen printing all the pizza boxes that were to go out to delivery to various studios and agencies as an invite/goodie bag.  We had help from various other students but mainly controlled the process and preparation ourselves. We decided to do a four layer print using CMYK in order to fit within the brand guidelines. We decided to include a set of print dots in the corner for alignment use and also to separate the colours shown. We printed 100 boxes each with 4 layers, it took time but in my opinion, having something hand printed to give to industry was worth it. Although we had a few with mistakes that were not able to be used, the majority were fine, even with small imperfections, it is all part of the printing process.

Note To Self - a night of creative talks from creative people. Speakers included Claudia Klat from Spin Studio, Lord Whitney, Jim Williams and Chris Gaffey. It was a really interesting night hearing the experiences and journeys of people in different creative fields, from filmmaking, set design, typography and graphic design. It was fresh to hear honest stories that explaining it doesn't always go to plan, and people who have years of experience in their working area, still don't know what they're doing or want to do. I enjoyed hearing their failure and achievements of getting to where they are now, and appreciated hearing tips from what they have learnt doing so. The talk from Lord Whitney was particularly interesting to listen to, as I think being of a similar age, helped understand how they struggled from university to creating their own business in the economy today, which I think made me appreciate their success more. I really enjoyed listening to it all first hand and speaking to different members of the audience from different creative background, I would definitely revisit an event in the future.

I visited the One of One exhibition at Islington Mill which included artists Caroline Dowsett, John Powell-Jones, Studio Up, Stina and others. It was interesting to see one off and original paintings, jewellery and creations for a change, rather than prints etc that can be repeatedly produced. I always love visiting islington mill, they have a great community of artists, makers and musicians who seem to enjoy the collaborative style of work in the mill.

Rave magazine was an English pop magazine that started in 1964. I love the total chaotic choice of colours and layout - a unique editorial style that is rarely seen today. Typography and colour is key when looking at editorial pieces and styling from the 1960′s and this magazine certainly demonstrates that.

“Rave 'was five times as expensive as the weekly music papers, but in return you got an 80-page or so A4-size monthly, with excellent quality paper, meaty content and great photographs” - by Jean Marie
