Editorial Three: How to...Undo things

The second of the two new briefs is: How to...Undo things by Guy Browning featured in the Guardian' Weekend Magazine. The text focus upon how one could wish or need to undo things/mistakes and about how your mistakes can be a shadow on you judgement. It compares and debates how good it would be to have a button like the one on the computer - ctrl+z to just delete your mistakes. My idea is simply a shadow being erased with an ctrl+z eraser. 

Editorial Two: How to... be Conceited

Last week we where given two new editorials to complete together with the previous one - Why small victories matter. The first of the two new is: How to...be Conceited by Guy Browning featured in the Guardian' Weekend Magazine. The text focus on self adoration or rather narcissism and how it some people are self consumed by themselves. 

My idea is pretty straight forward a man holding six hand mirrors to view himself for every angle.

Editorial - Why small victories matter

We were asked to make a quick rough for editorial - why small victory matter by Oliver Burkeman in The Guardian. It is about achieving small goals and how small goals can be more satisfactory as it is easier to achieve. It discusses that by taking on challenges in small pieces often wins over time and then gives a feeling of mastering. I chose to do a box of chocolates as mastering of something is often enjoyable and sweet. Also it has a surprise inside and it is a treat often used as a reward to oneself.   

Cocktail Party - Christmas Party

Our first brief for this years course builds on our summer project 7 Characters. We are now to follow Saul Steinberg's Techniques at a Party (1953) - I am to host (and am to illustrate) a party of my own and my guests are my seven characters for Norse mythology. I found it only fitting as the guest are pagans to host a christmas party. The invitation specifies 'formal dress' but some of the guests have chosen to ignore this - as Hel - goddess of death only wear her hair...
