I love magazines. I love the physical connection between them and the reader, I love the design, the smell, the feel, the content, just everything. As someone who is studying Graphic Design, I am constantly flicking through magazines to find inspiration. A company I recently discovered during one of my class talks was 'Oh Comely'. I instantly fell in love with the style and design of the magazine. Minimalism is my thing, so this is right up my street. As soon as I got home from uni that day I placed an order of some magazines from their website, the arrived quickly, and I was not disappointed.
They came in beautiful packaging, and when I opened the box, I found some little post cards. I also am really into photography and these were completely my style, so they went straight on my wall!
The actual magazines themselves are breathtaking. They look incredible, and the content is so unique. All of the issues have a specific theme, but overall, I think the magazine is a bit of everything. It's described as 'where curious minds don't think alike', and I think it fits perfectly. It really is very satisfying to read, and I always find out amazing unique stories, it's a joy to read.

I really just wanted to share this with you, as I feel like this magazine deserves more recognition! I can't rave about this enough.
If you are interested, you can visit their website here. 

Thank you for reading!

Hello world! So, it's been a while.. over a month in fact! For that, I can only apologise. I haven't had any free time, and any free time I have had, i've spent sleeping, or socialising. Juggling a 9-5 every day uni course, a magazine club and a part time job, I have found it extremely difficult to manage my time. However, I feel like I am getting into a routine now. It's just taken some time.
I am happy that I took this time out of blogging, because I definitely would be behind on my uni work if I did. Graphic Design is intense! I wouldn't change it for the world though.
I have also moved back up to Dundee in a flat with my friends, and I love my new space. I especially love the bed, I really like what i've done with it, it's very me.
So, I just wanted to write this post really just to say, hey, I am alive! I will get back to blogging, i've got many posts lined up.
Speak soon!

Those are the final pieces that I put on display. I won't bore you will the whole meaning behind it, but to cut it short, we had to show who we were. I'm not a fan of sharing my personal secrets and qualities about myself, so that was my first problem. Instead of delving deep into the darkest areas of my brain, I thought, hey, why not make it some kind of game? This resulted in many trials and errors, before I finally settled on a pack of cards. The cards would work as playing cards, but also as a brainteaser. They all contain facts about me: some being true, and other's false. I decided to name it "Unidentified truth". The whole point was that these facts about me weren't being handed to people on a plate, the viewer had to work out the puzzle essentially. There was a simple pattern in all of the true statements, that the viewer had to figure out. Here are a few examples of the cards, can you figure out the pattern?

Have you got it yet?

I'll give you a clue, the top two here are true, and the bottom two are false.

 If you've figured out the pattern, well done! I found that many people couldn't work it out. It was simple: The true ones contained double letters.
Have a look at the images below.


See? Yeah so that was the project I was most proud of in first year of art school. Let me know what you think!

Until next time!
