Sacked Chimney Sweep Pumps Boss Full Of Mayonnaise

Just traced the SAS logo and edited it to say 'Who Cares Wins'. I'm trying to develop a logo that seems military but is relevant to the issue at hand, so I might edit it to have a spatula or washing up brush or something instead of a dagger. This ain't no final, yo.

I Shall Not Rest Until Jerusalem Is Builded Here, On England's Green And Pleasant Land

After the crit on Friday, the thing that struck me most was that my work is beginning to look the same, using the same typefaces, vector images, etc. So, I'm trying to think of a way to change the look of my work for this project. I've been doing a load of sketching lately for this project, so I might scan some of them into Photoshop and paint it out on different layers, change the opacity and you get this kinda watercolour-like effect.

With God as my witness, I shant be a one-trick-pony.

I also had a brainwave after the crit, I've been focused on conflict in shared accommodation, but it's taken til now for me to realise that I can take the term 'conflict' a lot more literally, and create images of war. I've been sketching a few things out to see if they'd work with the feel I'm trying to go for, still work-in-progress, but take an eyeful of this:

I thought the 'born 2 grill' thing on the helmet would work with
something to do with conflict in the kitchen, given that my
research showed the kitchen was the place where most of the
conflict originates. Thank you, Kubrick.

Slightly more developed digital version.

She'll Be Like "Uh... What?"

I wanted to do a bit of type manipulation for this project, as I hadn't really done it before, so as a logo idea [to coincide with my boxing imagery] I've tried to shape the text around a boxing ring. Watch yer bass bins, I'm tellin' ya.

What Paper Stock Would Jesus Use?

So, I've carried out a survey and started a Facebook group, so now I've printed off some feedback posters for the studios. Thought I'd make 'em look all quirky like. 

And now, the waiting game...

Cowgirl

I've been reconsidering my original ideas for the 'Speaking from experience' brief, and it has come to light that pulling practical jokes on your housemates might not be for everyone. Works for me, but then again so does Katy Perry. I've been experimenting with boxing-related imagery, since the problem is conflict with the ol' housemates, I figured using boxing as a base for my designs might give it a humorous, tongue-in-cheek feel to it. 

So here's a few sketches I crafted with my own hands:

Also, here's the presentation board I came up with for the presentations we had this morning.

Y-Incision

This is the tarted up proposal I created for the crit last week, I love going into Illustrator and busting out an A2, mainly typographic poster, it would appear. It just feels right, you know? Like putting blackcurrant squash in milk.

Guest House Paradiso

I'm busy conducting a bit of research into my subject of conflict with housemates when living in student halls, I figured since I've had my fair share, I'd show you why. My kitchen makes Chernobyl look like... well, a really clean place. Those of a nervous disposition or girls may want to avert your gaze:

I think they leave traces behind so they can
remember what they ate last.

Noodles & mould, mmm...

Admittedly the Stella was mine.

Just to clarify - I wash my dishes in my bedroom, keep most of my food in there, have a kettle in there and only really come in here to put frozen food in the oven or gather research for projects about conflict when living in student halls.
