Summer of 2009 Graphic Design investigation Blog.

This blog is place where I shall record my summer and anything about graphic design that interests me. It's a place for me to post my personal and professional development within graphics and help to structure my pan for the 3rd year. I hope to develop my understanding of graphic design and maintain my practice during the summer.

RJ Multi Litho Inc - Canada

A friend from Canada informed me over the summer that both her parents worked for printing companies in Toronto. I got very excited about this and she said should it be what i was looking for i was more than welcome to come over and stay and get some work experience. Unfortunately it wasn't really what i was looking for and didn't work out. Never mind. What an opportunity it could have been though!

Converse T-shirt designs...





I decided while I was away that I wanted to try and develop some T-shirt designs, something I've always said I'd do in my spare time but never motivated myself to do. These are a couple of converse designs in the making that I would like to develop into possible prints when i get back to Leeds. Purely illustrative at the moment, but I'll see where they go...
