Inner Workings of Adam

I really need to update this...

but not tonight, tonight I sleep.

In the mean time here's something interesting to look at.

New London Map

2011-08-04T04:14:00.000-07:00

I move to London on Monday! Can't wait! My girlfriend is in what I believe they call the nesting stage, she's buying lots of bed sheets and pillows and tea towels and stuff.

To celebrate our move I thought I would blog this nugget of information. Designer Mark Noad has redesigned the London Underground Map. Traditionalists are probably chuckling to themselves thinking how can someone improve on such perfection that is Harry Beck's London Tube Map. But after looking over the redesign it makes a lot of sense. Noad has included geographical accuracy, something Beck's design sacrificed in favour of visual simplicity. Find out more about the map here.

Photobooth

2011-08-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

This is a video I did when I was starting out as a creative person. I thought it was lost but earlier today I found the video on a disc tucked away in storage while clearing out my parents' attic. The video is a collection of photos that my Dad and I had done in photobooths while I was growing up.

Update

2011-07-29T06:43:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I updated this blog and so much has happened in the last two months I'm struggling to remember it all. This post will probably be a bit disorganised. Right now I'm looking for a place to live with my partner in London as I've been offered a job as a junior designer in Notting Hill. I can't wait to start but flat hunting in London is not easy, especially when you live no where near London.

First of all, I finished University with a first! On the 2nd June 2011 I finished my three years at University College Falmouth.

My wedge of work for assessment. This is rotting away at the back of a cupboard now.

Two of my brand books freshly printed and bound.

And then there was the end of year show.

My work in the end of year exhibition.

After submitting my work to the D&AD student awards I was lucky enough to have it nominated. So on the 16th June I headed off to London to attend the D&AD awards ceremony with Sam Morris and Pascal Raabe who were also nominees. I'd never been to an awards ceremony before so it was a very new and exciting experience.

In my flashy suit before the awards =p

At the end of June came the sad moment I had to leave Falmouth for good. Sad times. Here are two lovely arty photos to remember Falmouth by.

The view across Falmouth and the docks.

A very arty shot of my girlfriend and the view from my window.

I am no longer living in Cornwall, instead me and my girlfriend are living out of my parents house in my home town in the Midlands. After moving back home I traveled back to London to attend D&AD new blood, a big exhibition/festival to show off graduates work to professionals in the design industry.

Outside New Blood.

This event has proven to be invaluable in helping me find a job. When it finished I started getting emails from companies asking to meet. For the past three weeks I've been bouncing back and forth between home and London attending interviews. It was a tiring (and expensive) couple of weeks but I have finally been offered a job position. Starting in august I will be a junior designer working in Notting Hill. This brings us to where I am now, trying to make the move to London. If anyone knows of any good studios to let or flat shares don't hesitate to get in touch. All I've been doing lately is flat hunting. And it's boring.

So there's a very quick update of my post uni life. I've still got a long journey ahead of me, but I'm hoping when I'm old and have to wear a nappy (many many years away, or not) I can look back at this blog and remember where it all began. That sounds incredibly corny but I'm 22 now and you start thinking about this sort of stuff.

Anyway, I'm rambling, peace out.

ps. I was just handed this cool photo of my great grandad.

New Online Portfolio

2011-06-12T06:58:00.000-07:00

End of university is upon us!

2011-05-29T13:28:00.000-07:00

On Thursday I will have finished university. Crazy...

Sneak preview

Only two weeks left

2011-05-16T13:38:00.000-07:00

In two weeks time I finish University for good! My time at UCF will be done. The last three years have gone so quick. I have been fortunate enough to be a D&AD nominee! Which is amazing!!! That means I'll be going to the big flashy awards ceremony next month and I'll be in the D&AD book. Today I sent my Dogs Bollocks entry to Design Bridge, so if I'm lucky maybe I can get two wins in the bag (crosses fingers).

Anyway, lots to do, here's some photos of recent events.

Easter Holidays

2011-04-11T16:43:00.000-07:00

Keeping this one short but sweet.

It's two weeks into the Easter holidays with another two weeks to go until the start of my last term at University!!! Lots of new stuff coming, including new projects and a new website (it's that time again, when I get bored of the one I already have and do it all over again).

Btw as of June I'm available for hire!!!

D&AD submitted

2011-03-11T13:05:00.000-08:00

Today was the deadline for my D&AD student competition brief sponsored by The Partners, and I'm happy to say it was sent off and submitted just in time! Many a sleepless night I have had over that project but despite being a challenging brief I'm glad I did it. Wish me luck.

Work and Aspects logo

2011-03-05T04:01:00.000-08:00

Been very busy as of late, resulting in much inactivity on this blog I'm afraid. I'm currently over half way through my last year of university which means soon enough I'll be venturing out into the big wide world to find work. Something I'm looking forward to and am slightly intimidated by.

Last week I went for a day trip with my parents to St Ives and while we were roaming I noticed something I had worked on while at Nixon Designs.

This was a logo I created while working with Chris and Darren. I created the roundel mark which Chris and Darren tweaked a bit, they then added the rounded typeface below the logo. It's the first logo I have professionally produced (hopefully the first of many), so to see the logo out in the public eye is very exciting!

I'll be submitting my entry to D&AD on Monday. Wish me luck.

Christmas update

2010-12-03T05:20:00.000-08:00

It's coming towards the end of my first term of third year, which has gone incredibly quick. I've been working on lots of projects non of which I will be publishing anywhere yet. But keep an eye on my portfolio in the coming weeks/months. I've been designing the branding and packaging of a particular cider which I believe deserved a new face. I have also been working on one of the D&AD briefs which has been very challenging and am still yet to crack. Ontop of that I have also been working on a number of smaller projects. I have been developing a series of four book covers based on a deck of cards which explore the use of typography and symbolism. I have also designed my friends business card which he used and took to a geology conference in London. There are a bunch of other projects I would like to pick up but they're just not enough hours in the day.

In other news I re-designed my logo. The old and the new logo are compared below.

This launched on my website last night. I believed the old logo had become a bit school-ish and wasn't reflecting how I was progressing as a designer. I am hoping the new logo delivers a slightly more professional message, while retaining the fun side to my work with the use of the playful yet elegant typeface. The typeface is an edited version of Lobster which you can download here. Lobster is a script typeface which makes use of some very poetic and flowing ligatures, but unfortunately the typeface doesn't come with a ligature which links an A and W which is what I worked on here. I have also given my blog a facelift and have applied the logo to my twitter account.

In other news... it is very cold. Falmouth fell victim to a small storm at the start of the week, there was thunder, lightning, hail, snow and even rumours of a small tornado. You can see photos of it here and here. I don't usually make a habit of talking about the weather on my blog, but this was a truly bizarre start to the week which resulted in falmouth almost grinding to halt. I don't think the south west is used to this sort of weather. Here is a photo out of my window of the event.

Happy Halloween

Just finished my second week of third year, and already the work load is piling up. But in my spare time I've been working on my lovely girlfriend's blog. CamillaDelacoe.co.uk features reviews on recently released films, music and general stories of a student journalist. I also put together her twitter background, nothing too major but just a little bit of fun.

'Daily Chalk' and Mr Fillion

2010-10-03T07:58:00.000-07:00

My friend and housemate Hannah has started up a little blog called "Hannah's Daily Chalk". We moved into our new house this summer and the previous tennants left a chalk board nailed to the back of the kitchen door. Hannah has taken it upon herself to doodle a new drawing on the chalk board everyday and has this blog to show what happens. Funny stuff, go check it out.

In other news I am now a huge fan of Nathan Fillion since my girlfriend introduced me to the american guess who done it show "Castle". My love for Nathan only grew more when after buying Halo Reach (which I have been nerding out on for the last week) and realised Nathan voiced one of the characters, and has done in the previous Halo games also. How cool is that! My two loves for Castle and Halo united!

Aaaaanyway. I start third year of university tomorrow. Wish me luck!

End of Summer

2010-09-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

So the summer hols are coming to an end, booo. But I'm looking forward to the new term, if not a little bit daunted at the thought of entering the third and final year of university.

Today we finally got the internet put in our new house which we moved into over summer. The house is awesome! I'm growing carrots in our garden (we have a garden!), even though it is the completely wrong time of year to grow them, but I'm going to try anyway. In other news my online portfolio is offline, which is very bad, you may notice the website www.adamwitton.co.uk just comes up with a rather annoying "database not installed". I am hoping to correct this over the next couple of weeks with a snazzy new website showing some of my latest work including some of the work I did while working at Nixon.

I've been bouncing between Cornwall, Wales and the Midlands through most of the holidays visiting family and friends and spending lots of money on fuel as I go which has been lots of fun :) unfortunately not leaving me much time to work and do general designing of things, but I'm correcting this as we speak!

Keep an eye on this blog, as term starts up again and I start getting out of the lazy holiday state of mind and more into the work my ass off im a third year now mentality this blog should be bursting with interesting work and illustrations and other stuff.

Peace out.

Been There, Done That, Got The Blisters

2010-06-15T12:37:00.000-07:00

A week or so ago I finished my placement at Nixon, they kept me on an extra week which was good of them. I ended up working on some pretty interesting projects some of which have worked they're way into my portfolio. I am hoping to go back and do more work for them this summer, so fingers crossed. Ontop of that I have just finished my second year in university studying Graphic Design, I am now a big scary third year! lol

In other news I just completed an epic hike of the cornish coastline with my mate Chris Lambert. We walked from Falmouth to The Lizard in just under 3 days. Was good fun even though I did the entire walk in flip flops. Saw lots of interesting sites and met some cool people, here are some photos of our expedition.

A design I did a couple of weeks ago for the NBC Universal project I was working on, this version is just the artwork with all the comercial bits taken out.

The image is based of a photo I took of the lovely Camilla Delacoe.

I wanted a new red t-shirt...

2010-05-18T14:04:00.000-07:00

I wanted a new red t-shirt with a cool design on it without paying through the nose, so I made this, put it on red bubble and just bought it :p

In other news my placement at Nixon is going well, working on lots of interesting projects, although a I now hate pantone books... which one, which one!!!!!

Universal, Nixon and other stuff

2010-05-11T07:42:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I started my work placement at Nixondesign which is going well, so far I've put together some brand guide line documents which was good practice. It's my first time working in a design company so I'm hoping I will learn lots of new skills and other cool stuff!

Last week I went to London with Graham Hadaway, Luke Morgan and Alex Allden to pitch a design solution to NBC Universal. Possibly one of the most terrifying experiences of my life but in the end it wasn't that bad. Met some really cool people and had a lot of fun. I'll post up some of the work from the pitch sooner or later.

Earlier this week the DROP exhibition went as planned and apparently was an amazing event. I'm waiting for PBK9 to publish photos of the event.

Below is the result of what happens when a creative gets bored with a messy desk in front of them.

And here is something stupid i came up with in a slight moment of insanity

2010-04-08T10:28:00.000-07:00

One of my designs will be exhibited by the Swiss design team PBK9 in a street art exhibition in Switzerland, Lausanne. The event looks awesome with DJ sets and a live graffiti wallpainting and lots of other crazy stuff! Unfortunately I won't be able to go myself but If you're close to Lausanne in Switzerland it would deffinately be worth a visit!

Expect to see photos of the event!

The exhibition opens on the 1st may.

Update - February 2010

2010-02-27T14:00:00.000-08:00

Hello world! Just given my website a new look, was getting a bit bored of the colour scheme. A nice white and red thing going on now.

Also found Flavors.me which is a cool site where you can create little portfolios and stuff.

Been working on lots of really cool projects, some of which Im not allowed to talk about, oooo, Im not even sure if Im allowed to say that Im not allowed to talk about it. I'll stop now. But this summer is going to be a very exciting time :D

Still not got much finished projects yet but heres some interesting random images ive found.

Monsters in Real Places

2010-02-16T04:11:00.000-08:00

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, I feel i've been working non-stop this year. Lots of exciting things happening though, got a couple of pieces I'm working on including my own typeface and there's the possibility of some of my designs being turned into jewellery which is very exciting!

Some of my work is being featured on Monsters in Real Places . It's a cool blog well worth checking out for the laughs.

If you havent listened to this song off of Massive Attack's new album, I highly recommend you go listen to it!

Nothing finished to show off as of yet, but here's a fun video I found on youtube.

Light Graffiti

2010-01-24T10:11:00.000-08:00

Chris, Millie and me made some fun photos in the dark the other night. Made some pretty interesting images. Long exposure photography is sort of a hobby of mine, it's fun painting in the sky and actually making a mark.

You can see some of the images below, or visit Chris' flickr account here. Enjoy!

I would like to thanks my mate Chris Lambert for helping out with these.

My Trip To London

2009-11-20T04:15:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I got back from my trip to London. It was amazing! Despite living in the Uk all of my life I have never visited it's capital, so it was a very insightful trip for me. The reason for the trip was to visit a couple of design companies/agencies that were holding lectures for students from Falmouth University. We visited a total of 6 companies in 3 days so it was a pretty hectic couple of days.

The 6 companies were:

Brand Union

AKQA

Saatchi & Saatchi X

Purpose

Unit 9

Pentagram

Each company gave an incredibly insightful look into how their company works and what they provide in the industry. Me being a bit of techy nerd I was particularly blown away with the work of AKQA and Unit 9 who have created some amazing interactive websites for big names such as Samsung, Ferrari and Microsft. Brand Union, Saatchi & Saatchi and Pentagram were also very impressive with a massively long list of top end clients. Purpose was probably the smallest design company we visited which was nice, their company had a different feel to the others we visited although what that is i can't put my finger on. Other things i learnt from my trip, London doesn't have enough toilets, or cash machines, or bins, and if you don't tip you're an evil person.

Anyway i could go on for days, but i really should get on with some work.

Im off to play some modern warfare 2... i mean work...

Flex: Issue 2

2009-10-19T06:16:00.000-07:00

You may or may not that i am currently doing some work for the Falmouth University newspaper known as Flex. In the latest issue I was able to design a double page special for the reviews section. I was given the oportunity to basically go a bit nutty with it, and so I did :D

It got released the other day, so now i'm allowed to show this.

Deck Design: Ying Yang

2009-10-09T05:23:00.000-07:00

Click to see all the little details and stuff.

Its sunny today

2009-09-09T04:50:00.000-07:00

Im working on a huuuuuge digital illustration for a poster. Its A1 size and so far it looks pretty cool. Still alot of work to go though. Im hoping to do a series of them each with a different theme, the one im working on now is about war, the next one will be zombies, and the one after that is going to be a sci-fi ish design. Im basically just playing with themes that regularly crop up in my work and that i enjoy working with. Don't expect to see the finished products anytime soon, at the rate im going its going to be atleast a month until all three are finished.

In the meantime here's a green monster eating a little pink thing. Enjoy!

The Cyber Nazi Enslaved Tribal Wigogu Clan War Machines

click to enlarge

These gentle mechanical giants became enslaved by the evil cyber nazi's in an attempt to be used as weapons against the allies. They proved powerful on the battlefield but mid-way through their service a lone wigogu war machine went against his programming, ate his cyber nazi slave driver and led the rebellion of the Cyber Nazi Enslaved Tribal Wigogu Clan War Machines in a fight for freedom!

Hehe, my imagination got the better of me.

I saw Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds the other day, you could say that this is loosely inspired by it.

A New Look

2009-08-24T09:41:00.000-07:00

Taa daa, the blog has a new look!

Still some small things i need to change but this is pretty much it.

Also adamwitton.co.uk will now forward you to this blog :D yay.

Now for something different

2009-08-23T07:39:00.001-07:00

Lovely...

Book

2009-08-20T12:10:00.000-07:00

I've found this very interesting project simply named BOOK. It's about a sketchbook which was sent back and forth between Brooklyn and Dublin at random between four artists. Each artist created a spread in response to the previous page. Its a very interesting idea, on the site every spread of the book has been presented along with a clip of audio containing the artists discussing the piece.

Very cool project, something i would love to do.

Go look at it here.

Hey Folks!

It's been a while since I posted something on this blog that really had some substance. So today/tonight Im making up for it :)

I recently went on holiday to portugal which was fun.

Nothing to do with design but it does explain my lack of posts lately. While away my family and I were holidaying with another two families, so there was a total of 6 kids running around alot of the time. I mention this because after they realised I could draw, I began to work through their numerous and incredibly random requests. I wrote the strangest one's down.

Zombie eating someone
Man riding a giant bee, with guns
A pixie fairy riding something/maybe an alien
Man pooing
An army butch man with combat shotgun and cigar, shooting evil man with blood saying "Eat Lead Sucker!"
Man weeing
Man pooing on someone who is throwing up while also being wee'd on

These kids were between 9-12. I blame southpark.

New work :)

"FACE to FLOW"

I've been working on this for a while and i think i can call it finished. I've got annoyingly critical of my own work lately, so much so that i have started over working alot of pieces.

There's a couple of pieces I'm working on currently, not sure when or if i'll publish them. Im just trying to exdpand my portfolio to be honest.

There is a new Adamwitton.co.uk up and running. Although it's nothing amazing. Expect something better over the coming months.

Here are some cool fonts I found. The first is a funny bold typeface called MOO. The second is a slightly more serious hard edged font, very precise and looks kind of sci-fi ish , its called Amputa Bangiz , I actually used it in the piece above.

Time for some inspiration...

This first piece was published in UNO magazine. Its the work of five artists and design teams, Álex Trochut, Inocuo The Sign, Angel Sanz & Jenny Chih Chieh Teng, Sergio Jiménez, Losieto studio. Each member designed a letter. I think it looks awesome, more about the piece here.

I am hoping this will replace the windows media players dated visualistations.

Below is a funny animation i found. Imagine the film "The Thing" but with toys :) Cool soundtrack too.

Tickets went on sale last week, lineup isn't looking to bad, with King's of Leon headlining as well as Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys. Could be better in my opinion but non the less I managed to get a ticket amongst the mad scrabble of online orders.

Here's Some Freaky Cool Music! you got to go listen to. It's got such a strange combination of instrumenals, vocals and electro that really work.

The Omega Code contest finished a couple of days ago, theres some seriously awesome designs there, go check them out.

I found this crazy design for an MP3 player this morning. It's basically an MP3 player that looks like a cassette. Not only does it look cool but it's got tons of cool little features, like twisting one of the cassette holes charges the battery! Twisitng the other skips through songs.

Designed by Stefano Pertegato, Massimiliano Rampoldi, Eloisa Tolu, Francesco Schiraldi & Giovanni Mendini.

I really want one.

First Post

OK, so let me get the introductions out of the way.

My name is Adam Witton and I am a student in graphic design. I'm going to be using this blog as a kind of visual library of work i do, inspiration i find and generally anything that interests me. It could be anything! So expect a range of topics.

That's pretty much the jist of it really. I am currently in the process of working on a new website to show examples of my work, as well as a range of deck designs which I'm hoping to get sprayed onto long boards.

I'll start the ball rolling with an animation i found called 'I Met The Walrus'. It's an animated narrative of an interview with Jon Lennon. Sounds boring when put like that but the digital illustrations are amazing.

And once you've watched that go listen to this song. My flat mate introduced me to them, and i admit they are pretty good.

All very inspiring stuff. Below is a brief glimpse into some of my previous works.

Primary Colours.

Made sometime in 2008. Want to eventually get it printed/painted onto the bottom of skate board deck.

Beauty Floats

Made early 2009, already printed this, wouldn't mind getting it framed though.

More stuff coming up so keep your eyes open.

Anyway, that's enough from me. I hope that gives you an idea of what the blog will be like. Lots of random crap put in one place for your pleasure. Woopee!

My cat just dribbled

Peace Out
