I recently found out some rather unsavoury things about my father, and since I’ve been planning to change my name by deed poll anyway, I’ve toyed with the idea of changing to my mother’s maiden name; Berry. This was just a quick mock-up of a potential font for my logo in case I do change my name.
Updating my website. I paid for my website through Squarespace, as I found their interface easy to use, and easy to manage, since they provide metrics and linking into other social media platforms (such as Twitter, which I have linked with a follow button in the top corner). I’ve created a new gallery for the Specialist Production work, since I had planned to make a standalone site for it, but due to costs this would have been unrealistic.
Progress.
Added a tonne of work to my website, and I got both of my new sets of business cards. Its all coming together!
My Self Promotional Materials (Excluding website/Social Media) In the end, I decided Moo were the best to go with for my business cards, due in part to the high quality, but also the reasonable prices, varying delivery choices, and also the large range of sizes/dimensions to pick for my cards. For my music photography side, I went for squares so that the front would mimic the feel of a vinyl record sleeve, while the design looked like a record itself. Unfortunately, while this was visible on screen, it did not translate as well to card, which is something I need to bare in mind for the future. I tried to go for a variety of different works, but unfortunately none of the promotional work I’ve made translated very well to square, which is why they are predominantly live photographs. For the fine art side, I picked two photographs from my current Unseen Cornwall project, as I feel this shows me off in the best light as an artist. Also, as referenced in another post before, I went without a logo in order to remain more artistic. The minimal design for the information was due to my personal love of minimalistic/simple design, and also of typography, which I think does everything I need of it. I have also retained stickers from last year that I bought from Awesome Merchandise, as these will be vital for the music side once I move back to Bristol.
Made my new business cards! I went through Moo, since they were the cheapest, and also high quality. Decided to make cards for both my music photography side and fine art side, as the venn diagrams of the clients for these wouldn’t overlap too much, but also, the logo for the music side doesn’t work for a fine art photographer.
Unseen Cornwall Truro//March 5th – Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus OM10 w/ 50mm f/1.8 I made this photo on my phone a few months ago, when I was going to look at some studio space, and it has stuck with me since, because it reminds me so much of home, it is just as dingy as the subways in my home town. This photo was the one I have spent longest waiting to make so far, as I had to wait for the walkway to be clear, as I felt people in the frame would ruin it, and I have tried to keep a depiction of humans away from the frames. Maybe not a photo for the exhibition, but strong potential for the zine I hope to create.
Unseen Cornwall Truro//February 15th -- Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus OM10 w/ 50mm f/1.8 This was the second photo I made on the Ektar film. I went out on a Sunday in hope that Truro would be vacant. Unfortunately it wasn’t, but I made the best of what I had. This photo was made just behind the shop I work in, about 2 minutes from the cathedral, so far within my set boundaries.
Unseen Cornwall Newquay//March 15th ---- Kodak Ektar 100, Olympus OM10 w/ 50mm f/1.8 This is my first edited final photograph from my first roll of Ektar. I ventured to Newquay to break up my roll, since the rest of it had all been made in Truro, and I knew I needed to get a feel for the place, to spot potential locations I might need to return to, since the weather was very changeable the whole day. I found this location behind the train station, making it perfectly placed to be somewhere a tourist could walk past, which fits one of the parameters I’ve created for the work I’m creating. I’m excited to see all the work from this project come together, I think it is probably my strongest idea to date, both in terms of concept and photographs.
Aftermath - 8/7/14 So I'm absolutely terrible for starting a roll of film, and then leaving the camera for months on end before I manage to eventually finish it. This photo of the aftermath of my stag tattoo was at the start of the roll, and I only managed to finish the roll last month, oops. However, I thought I'd put this up here, even though it has absolutely no relevance to any of the projects I'm currently working on, I just thought it'd be a little insight into me as a person. I love tattoos, and am constantly itching to get another. (Currently, my latest tattoo is finishing its healing process, and I'm already trying to justify getting my next one) Olympus OM10 w/ 50mm f/1.8 and AGFA 200 Colour film.
APME 302 - Specialist Production Unseen Cornwall Olympus OM-10 w/ 50mm f/1.8. Made on AGFA 200 Colour Negative Film. I got the first test roll back from the developers the other day, and have been slowly sifting through the scans, editing my favourites. All three of these photos were made within a 15 minute walk of the Cathedral, one of the main attractions of the city, since I've now adapted my idea to focus in on locations that are closest to tourist-centric areas of Cornwall. Photo One - The Billboard This photo is made on Station Road, Truro, about 1 minute from the train station on foot, and about 10 minutes from the centre of Truro. In the time I've lived in Truro, I've seen this billboard in a state of disrepair much more often than I've seen an advert on it. I think that this is a more obvious image to document this concept of rundown areas within the county, but I like that I've captured the city in the background of the photo, being a reminder of the fact that what I'm photographing is truly set in Cornwall. Photo 2 - Back of The Leats I walk past this area daily, on my way to work. This is one of the areas that helped spawn this concept, as it's less than a minute from the Cathedral, but looks deserted and derelict. I have made a photograph from inside the area, but I didn't feel it worked as strongly as this, thanks in part to this being a little more subtle. Photo 3 - Gouge, Back of The Leats This is another photo made within The Leats, but not one I had noticed before I actively looked for signs of disrepair. I was drawn to make this photo due to the fact that it looks like a tear, and while I almost solely make photos in landscape orientation, this photo is a little too powerful in portrait to dictate that it needs to be in landscape form. This may change how I plan to present my photos in the exhibition.
APME 301 - Creative Production in a Local Context This is a sample slideshow to showcase one potential use of the work I've created within this assignment. I outlined in my brief that this was one of the presentation methods I thought would work, considering the way photos are shown on the National Trust site pages.
Remade my business cards ready for my Professional Practice module of my BA. Decided to go with square this time, since record sleeves are square. I'd definitely forgotten how much of a pain it is to make concentric circles in InDesign. Still not sure about center-weighting my information though.
APME 301 Creative Production in a Local Context - National Trust - Walk Two I walked out from Wicca, joining the path at River Cove, heading towards St Ives. All in, it was about a 5 mile walk, with 3 and a half being on the National Trust ran footpath. I found it difficult to showcase anything other than the views out to sea, primarily because it was a very similar view just looking inland. However, I attempted to show the path in my photos as often as possible, to show that these are images made from the confines of the footpath itself, rather than by taking risks by traversing to the edge.
Awesome Merchandise. Awesome Merchandise are a company based out of Leeds, who make a large range of products, and used by a large amount of bands (including some I’ve worked with previously, which is how I heard of them). I had stickers made by them last year, which were high quality, and were quickly turned around, so I know personally that they are reliable. As the photos can attest, the range is quite wide, and since I already have stickers for the music side of my business, I’ll still just be looking at business cards, although flyers may be a good idea further down the road. I’m not super keen on the cards AM produce, although the cardstock is made from recycled materials, I don’t think this would do the photographs justice. They’re also considerably more expensive than Moo, who I have also looked at.
Instantprint. I’ve decided to look at several companies for my promotional materials, as although I want the lowest cost, I also want something of high quality (the latter being the reason I have immediately discounted Vistaprint as an option). Instantprint. are a company I came across on Facebook, based out of Rotherham. They have a decent range of products, with a large amount of choice within those ranges. I am most interested in business cards at this point, although going forward, I thought it would be useful to be aware of the quality of the other products they offer. Although I like the thicker weight of the luxury cards, they all seem to come with a lamination to them that I’m not fond of moving forward. Overall, the cards they have sent in the sample pack that I like the most are the unlaminated ones, due to the way that the light plays on the ones with a lamination to them.
APME 301 Creative Production in a Local Context - National Trust - Walk One I took a 2 hour walk out from Zennor Headland towards St Ives, making a loop back to the car. I made several photos along my walk. This was one of my favourite photos I made, showing the South West Coast Path following the cliff up. I liked the fact that the path was the only green area within the frame, even though this would seem the most likely area to be destroyed by the feet of walkers. Although this is the only photo I've edited so far for this walk, I'm confident I will be able to showcase the true beauty of the coastal path.
Day in the Life of Trelissick; Wednesday 1st October. For the start of the APME 301 Creative Production in a Local Context module, we had an induction module at Trelissick Gardens, since the module is set in collaboration with National Trust. We were allowed both the Wednesday and the Thursday to produce the work needed, but since I had work on the Thursday, I needed to create my complete work on just the Wednesday. I would have liked the Thursday to create more work, and to produce more cohesive images, but I'm happy with the work I've made.
