ISLE OF SKYE (group project)

Our group of 10 Camberwell students are shortly to embark on a one week trip to the Isle of Skye. Our aim is to dispel the general misconception that Graphic design us wholly dependent on modern technology. We will be isolating ourselves from our usual surroundings by going to this remote location. We will answer self written briefs without the tools we have become so dependent on such as computers, digital photography and filming. We hope to discover a new approach to answering briefs as well as creating work that is less throwaway and more precious, unlike so much of what surrounds us in modern society. 

The trip will take place 18th - 25th April.

JOKE PROJECT

This brief called for the formulation of an original joke. The definition of a joke is something that is said or done in order to evoke laughter or amusement. This may seem straightforward however there are so many varying possibilities of structure and the reaction is so objective. Some types of jokes are designed to be obvious and overt such as slapstick, whereas some are subtle and can only be appreciated by a specific audience. I wanted to move away from the traditional format which generally consists of an amusing story with a punch line. My aim was to focus on creating an amusing situation from the obscure and unexplained. This video, which was created in collaboration with Samuel Parker, a fellow Camberwell student, aims to confuse the audience until the end section where a popular comedic format is used to explain the situation.

WHAT DO YOU WANT IF YOU DON'T WANT MONEY?

This was a one week group prject set by Alex Reuben to create a one minute film dealing with the above question. Our group, consisting of three other students, chose to depict the concept of greed. The idea was that whether or not money was concerned, individuals have a tendency to desire more than what they already have. We wanted to show how this insatiability can lead to destruction regardless of what it may concern.
