Slides on the Lightbox...

I bought some old slides off of ebay so I could start playing around with composition and get a more accurate feel for what it should look like... i was surprised at how beautiful they looked... pictures don't do it justice

Lightbox!!

I'v been bidding for a lightbox on e-bay which I managed to win at £56.50 (bargain) which was fantastic! Its an A1 lightbox which I ventured to Southampton to collect. In the pictures some of it looks a bit worn but when I got it it's in perfect condition!! It's daylight balanced, and the only thing that needs to be changed slightly is the little metal bits that keep the acrylic in place. No problems there!

This is the 1st lightbox I've owned so i didn't know too much about them, but having looked into them and looked at advertising boards I decided that this was the best option to go for. The light is evenly spread and the light is edge to edge rather than having a frame around it.

Slides...

sliiiides

I have decided that all the pictures i have recieved i will be converting them all back to 35mm slides.
I have decided to display them in this format because today with sites like facebook and Flicker photos seem to be less appreciated, and people take pictures and discard them as readily as they took them. By reverting them back to this methopd the viewer will have to go up close to look at each individual shot.


It also makes the photos that arent that great quality look fantastic. My original idea was to make a book... but I felt this was too standard and would just be another 'picture book' and nothing very rememberable or exciting.

Below are some old slides of my dads to show an example...

12th May Photos Flooding In...

These are an example of some of the pictures I got... so far I have recieved about 180 but I expect more as some people have not yet uploaded them or sent them to me...

It was a good turn out.. I was nervous at the time but it all came together nicely!

1000 Collected

I went ot Collect 1000 out of the 5000 flyers from the Don't Panic warehouse so that I could hand them out on the morning of 12th May around London...

Appearance in the paper

Final Flyers

These are the final designs that I decided on for my flyers going into Don't Panic. 5000 are being printed and put into next week's pack. They are going to all universities in london and some selected bars and clubs.

Change

I had a look through Don't Panic... everything is really over filled with pattern, gradients... writing. the one thing that stood out the most was a block coloured flyer. so thats what im going to stick to, simple. simple quick clear information displayed. This is a mock up of the front...

Hands...

Wasn't happy at all with my flyers so iv decided to try hand rendering them...
