2008 Graphic Portfolio: Part 1

Another one from the archives, these are dividers for the sections on my printed portfolio. I'd either this portfolio important meetings or potential clients or, more likely, show people at the pub . Sometimes it ended up being both.

Instead of sliding these babies into a plastic binder I glue bound all the sheets together and then bound them again into an old UK street directory from the 1950's. It was falling apart and I picked it up for a few bob in one of the best charity shops I've ever walked into in a place called Luton. Probably the only redeemable feature of the little, grey town. But, I'll try show that in a future blog. Partly for suspense and partly because it's in a cupboard at the moment.

Kings of Leon

If you listen closely to conversations in stylish bars all over the world, skinny jeaned, black shirted people everywhere seem to be saying the same thing, "Kings of Leon? Use to like their old stuff but now they've sold out". In a way it's true. Nowdays you're more likely to see them stuck to the front of a school girls folder than on a festival poster. And they have started making their music as catchy as an early winter cold, but I'm pretty sure we've all seen it coming.  This pic was done in 2007 and even then they weren't a breakthrough act.  
 

I figure most people, if offered the chance at being the worlds biggest band, would probably take it. Even if meant hanging out with their brothers all day. Give them a break indie kids, and let them be the inspiration to trailer trash that they deserve to be. I still think they're alright and maybe you should too.

This pic's been getting a fair few hits on my website too...

The New Formula for Cool

The Nu-Rave movement seem to be in it's final death throws as everybody seems to wearing the stuff. Once only a scene for trendies, ex-electro's and Klaxons, now everybody seems to be into it. When your 14 year old cousin starts wearing this stuff you know fashion's done it's full circle. Someone go tell Late of the Pier that they've only got 6 months left of their career as I'm sure fashion's new style is just around the corner. Not literally, I live in Walthamstow, but figuratively I think something new is coming. Perhaps loosely based on hotpants. 

It's also on Threadless if you care to vote...

VOTING OVER

Our Future

I know, I know. It's a little bit naff. Like I'm some kid who dreams of a better future for my children, having rights to hug whales and live in cities where people all hold hands together. But, it was for competition with that kind of vibe. Plus it was a couple of years ago when I cared about things like being nice and respecting people's rights. Now days I'm more likely to write, "Your Future Smells Funny" or something like that.

Another Self Promo Thing

Like the title gives away, this is another self promo thing. This one, like some others earlier in my blog, is to promote my website. Don't know if it actually worked, but I do like them a lot. I tried to make it so when you clicked on them it would go to my website, but instead it sent you somewhere completely different. Go figure. I'm glad I didn't choose a future in web design or I might have been the first person to break the internet.
