My dad's drill is broken and has let me take it apart!
I'm a second year student at Bath Spa Uni, where I'm studying graphic communication. This is a blog for a project I am doing relating to the theme of Hidden. Because cmd+C and cmd+V is so yesterday and printing costs a fortune.

Waste Effects
Cornelia Parker and the Untimeliness of Waste
Parker is interested in waste. I like this exploded shed - the shadows are amazing!

Michael Craig Martin
I really love the bold colour and definite lines of MCM's work.
He is classed as an artist (uh oh that great art/design divide again...) but i think his work is very graphic design - its clean and sharp and I want it on my walls!
The drawing are similar or rather are a more basic version of a technical drawing, and the enlarging and overlapping of the objects helps 'hide' what it actually is at times, whilst still maintaining a very simple, clean imagery.
He often groups objects in an odd combination; his style is known as 'detached conceptualism, minimal construction by the artist and the use of readymade techniques.'

"Craig-Martin's later works have used a stylised drawing technique often depicting everyday household objects and sometimes incorporating art references, such as objects known from their use in Dada artworks. His work can be compared to that of his earlier contemporary Patrick Caulfield and latterly with that of Julian Opie. There is no differentiation in treatment, which consists of black line drawings with lines of equal mechanical width and brightly coloured images, which have been compared to "nursery" colours."

Exploded Ipod...and it still works!!
I love exploded diagrams of objects where you see every piece of the thing. I had the idea to try and make a real life version of one, and picked my iPod to be the victim. The catch was, I wanted it to work even in its exploded form.
I was a bit unhappy with the result because of the clarity of the resin. There were too many bubbles (and was an error on the last pour). At first I was just going to shelve it, but yesterday decided to at least put the photos online.
The most incredible thing about it is it still works perfectly. I encased the internals of the dock too, so it can be controlled, charged, and listened to, by a wire underneath (that sticks out a bit, hence the lego support legs).
