This Is Up in the Air
The next This Is event, This Is Up in the Air takes place in just over a week. We've received some brilliant work already and have the awesome Guy Page Trio playing live. Should be a great night. Below is the poster for the event.
Seven Seas
A piece I created for This Is Nautical Nonsense showing varying interpretations, from different periods and across the world, of the popular phrase 'the seven seas'. Better quality PDF available here.

This Is Nautical Nonsense
Back at the end of November, This Is put on our first event at 60 Million Postcards in Bournemouth Nautical Nonsense.
The main focus of each This Is even is the print sale and exhibition of the work of up and coming artists and designers from the Bournemouth area. They are encouraged to create a piece based on each event's specific theme and submit it to us. The response to the Nautical Nonsense brief was overwhelming as we received double the number of pieces we had the capacity to show.
You can view some of the awesome work people contributed here.
The night went pretty well, it was a shame not to see a few more people through the door but those that did attend enjoyed a night viewing (and buying alot of) great work, hearing sweet DJ sets and spoken word artists and socialising within a group of like-minded people.

November
Trying to balance 3rd year uni work with working on This Is whilst having a life has meant that this blog has dropped to the bottom of the to-do list and hasn't been updated for a while. I've been pretty busy since the last post but I don't want to cram everything I've worked on into one post so in the coming days I will post up the various pieces I've been working on.
November was split between arranging This Is Nautical Nonsense and working on a uni project with the brief of creating a cycle navigation system for cities. The system I devised can be seen in an overview below and was created to: a) be distinct from navigation systems for other modes of transport in our urban spaces, b) be clear, legible and accessible, c) have a friendly, encouraging and positive tone of voice to promote cycling as an enjoyable way of getting around, and d) Allow user participation to create an active cycling community with a say in what routes are signposted.
