My final project has a home! 2 days until deadline…
Just branding an evil totalitarian government… as you do on a Sunday night. (Taken with instagram)
So, what’s happened so far this year? Let’s catch up, it’s been too long!
- I took a trip around Europe over Christmas and New Year, much fun was had in Germany, the Netherlands and Paris!
- I’ve been very very busy on my course and it’s taken up most of my time. As I mentioned before I have a lot of design work to post, so I’ll be updating my portfolio and stuff soon!
- Speaking of my course, it ends this summer and I’m pretty sure I’m going to carry on my studies at university. This will also involve moving somewhere new! More on this soon.
- I finally jumped on the bandwagon and got an iPhone. I’m rather addicted to it. Above are a few of the Instagram photos I’ve taken so far (I’m ‘danburgess’ on there, if you want to come find me)…
Ooops!
What happened to the first part of 2012? It’s flown by and I’ve posted nothing on here! I’m ashamed of myself.
I’ve been super busy with studying and working, but things are about to change and I will get back to posting my design work regularly soon. It can be my New Year’s resolution (do they count if it’s already 3 months into the year?) I also have a big backlog of work to post too.
Anyway, watch this space soon!…
I’m away!
I’m going to be away for the next few weeks on a little trip around Europe!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a amazing start to 2012!
I need your help!
Hello guys! This may seem like a random request but…
I’m currently designing something which requires lots of little photos of people whistling… That’s where you lovely followers come in! If you want to help me out and be included in a cool little design please take a snap of yourself (and/or your willing friends) whistling, straight on, from eyes to chin. Like these lovely people…
(In colour is fine) This would be a great help so I don’t have to attack strangers in the street and will also be quite cool to have a couple of my followers in my designs!
Either do a photo reply to this post, pop it in my ask box, tweet it to @mermandan or email it to me. Whatever is easier :)
Get whistling, thanks in advance!
Zombie self-portrait! Brainsssss…
Here’s a shot of a little zine I’ve been working on. I’m pretty happy with the way it’s turning out. Interior and better shots coming soooooon…
I forgot to post the September Bottle Rocket gig poster I designed. Here it is! The night is just a memory now (but the hangover is still lurking around)
Student Again!
Hey guys, just thought I’d give a quick update on a recent big change in my life.
I got accepted at the last minute on a graphic design college course! I started last week and am loving being a student again. So far, for me, design has been a solo thing - just on my own trying to make things look nice. So being surrounded by all these like-minded people, all full of creativity, is amazing.
They also liked my portfolio so much that I managed to jump straight to the second year, which is great for what I wanted. It means in one year I will no longer be a ‘self-taught’ designer. I might feel a little less like a fraud ;) and hopefully also get rid of some of my bad habits! Win win.
It should also result in more blog posts here with my student work in progress. Speaking of which, here was my first ‘breaking in’ project…
The brief was to make a typographic collage out of a quote on books & libraries - without using a computer. It was actually pretty fun and refreshing to get away from the screen for a while.
Here’s a poster I recently made for my friend’s gig night. There will be more in the series coming soon :)

Just a quick update…
I’m currently converting my portfolio to print and also designing a series of gig posters. That’s why I’m not posting much this week, if anyone was wondering :)
