Coastal - “Issues of Concern”
For the A2 Graphics and Illustration Unit 3 project, we were given the title of “Coastal”. There are many routes that can be taken with this title, for example; seaside cafe, coastal entertainment, coastal issues etc... I decided to go down the route of “Issues of Concern” because I had a personal response to this specific theme as I am very keen on the conservation of wildlife and the natural environment.
The issues of concern theme can include the saving of coastal and sea creatures as well as issues surrounding the saving the coastline itself, linking to more geographical elements such as coastal erosion, pollution and global warming. I wish to explore both of these ideas in my project but I feel that my best work will be achieved through exploring the saving of marine life that surrounds the coast.
I wish to approach this theme in a lighthearted manner to make it appealing to a wider range of people, as I find that environmental conservation organisations that take a more serious and stern approach tend to be viewed as quite extreme, so I feel that using less stern ways of conveying information about coastal issues will be much better whilst retaining the idea that these issues need to be resolved.

Issues of concern (Part II)
Hi guys.
Hope you are spending an amazing weekend :).
I do not know if you remember I published another post about "issues of concern" long time ago. I consider it is necessary (with my partner's permission) to post another one since many of you keep asking the same questions.
This post is not going to be like the last one but more to clarify some aspects.
First of all (sorry for being annoyed and insisting so much), you definitely must read our FAQ before asking anything, because most of the answers to your questions are waiting for you there.
I hope this does not sound too rude (sorry if it does) but Mona as well as the rest of the members of the staff did spent lots of time developing such an extraordinary webpage not to have a look or even explore around it. I guess most of you already read it (more than once) but others keep saying: "Idk if this is in the FAQ, so that I am sorry but...".
We are not going to eat you or anything, we just want you to be updated, in order for this not to become a completely chaos. The main reason I am saying this is due to the fact that each member of the staff at least answers the same question everyday and the blog ends up becoming spam.
Otherwise, I would also like to let you know that we once said we were not going to answer stupid questions. Many people keep coming to us complaining and claiming we did not answered their questions. That is also included on the FAQ.
We are huge Tom's fans but we are not him and we barely know or want to know about his personal life more than we already know. We want him to be free and respect him in the best way possible (that includes his personal life). Again, I hope this does not sound too rude but we really want you to understand it because it is a very important fact. We are not stalkers neither paparazzis or anything, so try to avoid questions like these ones (which, from my POV, are not relevant at all):
- What religion does Tom support? We do not want to create a controversy with topics regarding politics or religion. This question might be very easy or difficult to answer considering Tom's nationality and all that stuff, but we prefer not to say anything because we do NOT know about it either.
- What football team does Tom support? This one is not harmful at all but seriously? The thing is that you cannot become a football team fan only because Tom fancies it. I mean, you might support all the things he does but you have to like your own things and not liking others just because an actor does. Please guys, do not force yourselves into that thing because it is not good to be that obsessed. Personally, everybody is their own person with different likes and you might really like an actor but never become like them (regarding likes) because every person is different. Keep doing the same things you like and do not change just because Tom or other celebrities do because you have to be yourselves. You might like many things like him but, for example, if you support certain religion and Tom does not, not become an atheist only because he is one (it is just an example). You can coincide regarding likes and all that stuff but the most important thing is that you mustn't change.
- What size is Tom's underpants? How does he like to make love etc etc? I am not going to say anything regarding these 2 questions. I believe they speak by themselves.
- How long are Tom hands, legs, feet (and other things...)? Sorry, but even if we're huge fans we do not know. Tom is really tall and we can tell you about his height. Nevertheless, the rest seems to be invalid and quite exaggerating. We are still impressed by reading those kinds of questions and sometimes we do not even know if our followers are aware of what they are asking :S. Of course, we are having fun here and all that stuff but please guys, be formal.
---------------
Other questions:
- Will Tom be at the Olivier Awards? We do NOT know yet.
- Do you know anything about The Box Project? Any responses? This question has also been answered from most of us lots of times and the answer is NO. We still do not know anything about The Box Project.
- Why is Tom using glasses on Top Gear? Does he wear glasses all the time? We do NOT know either.
- Do you know if Tom has a serious illness? No, we do not.
I think that's pretty much all the things we are receiving these days, guys. So, please before asking read the FAQ. Once again, I do not pretend this to sound too rude and I know reading the whole FAQ might be quite boring and a waste of time, but it is not that much :).
By the way, we also want to let you know that we publish every news about Tom. So, if we have not published something about certain awards as well as other topics, it is because we have not received the information about it yet. Do not keep insisting in something that will be posted any time soon because you all know we publish everything.
Regards!

Issues of concern
Hi guys.
I decided to make this post, in order to answer some issues of concern we get every day. Some of them will be added to the FAQ very soon (please read it before asking anything):
On Coriolanus, OLLA and other new Tom's movies/projects:
I am so sorry, but I am afraid we are not providing any links to them. Keep in mind that they are new projects and Tom has made a big effort on them. We do not believe it is correct to spread illegal content on the Internet.
1) We all know most of you do not have the possibility to watch them/going to the cinema/theater/have not a release date, but we cannot do anything about it. If you find the illegal copy on the Internet, it is up to you watching it or not. But you are not going to get the links from us. We know it is not fair, but you also have to think that it is a lack of respect. As long as you all can buy Tom's new movies or going to the cinema/theater, do it.
2) We know we have a link section with Tom movies and TV series, but they are old and legal copies. They are already on DVD and they were released in theaters or on TV at the time.
3) These are some OLLA's release dates. We all know most of them are coming from film festivals but we know nothing further than that. Sorry.
On Tom attending the Bafta Awards
As long as we know, Tom won't be there. We have been receiving many asks about this for weeks now and keep in mind that if we knew anything about it we would have already posted that information. Regarding Tom you never know because he may appear as a surprise guest, but he is not nominated either on the list, so...
On Crimson Peak and the Miami Film Festival
Tom finished with Coriolanus last Thursday, and he is going to start shooting in Toronto (we will not post the locations, sorry) very soon. We do not know if he is already there or when he will departure (we are huge fans but we do not know everything about him or his schedule). He is needed of rest but he has to work too. We are sure Tom will be able to rest a little bit while filming Crimson Peak or as soon as he gets some free time.
He will also attend to the Miami Film Festival. I am not sure if I (Idoia) will be there (I doubt it), but we already posted the news about Tom being there long time ago and it is more than confirmed (he does not appear on the guests list anymore so he may not attend). He will be there to promote OLLA but we know nothing else. We do not know if Tilda, Anton, John or Mia will be there either and we also do not know how he will do it while he is filming CP (perhaps, he decides to give up attending in the very last moment). Remember that Tom's schedule is made by his agent and all that stuff. If they want him to be in several places for any reasons (even if he is shooting a movie) he will be there.
On Top Gear; Tom's glasses, sweatpants etc etc
As I said before, we are huge Tom's fans but we do not know the size of his underwear, the things he does in his personal life or his religion (some people should stop asking those kinds of questions XD).
We even do not know if Tom needs glasses in his life and why he wore them on Top Gear. I guess we all should stop thinking too much about all those tiny details and enjoy him as a person and as an actor (even if he started to paint his nails for no reason XD).
I believe those are the most important questions most of you have had during these days. If we keep getting more, I will edit the post :).
