Consume Peckham

Poster for Consume Peckham

52 students. 18 businesses. 1 postcode. 
Consume Peckham is proud to return to SE15 for the fourth year running, presenting the annual collaboration between graphic design students from Chelsea College of Art & Design and the Peckham community. The screening will showcase 18 short documentaries exploring the history, heritage and individual characters behind some of Peckhams’ longest running companies, as well as focusing on those businesses which are so integrated within the community that their stories ar

e often overlooked. After weeks spent gaining a first hand experience of Peckham’s atmosphere and inhabitants, the students hope to present a truly authentic depiction of one of London’s most socially and economically diverse areas. From the unseen processes of Everest Linen Services to the evocative patrons of Greenhive Care Home, each film conveys a subjective insight into the heart of South East London, as well as exploring the complex relationship between culture and commercialism.

Devine Baskerville

       

 

We were asked to create a new typeface for our typography territory of practice. I decided to edit an existing font, using illustrator and went for Baskerville as it's a font I seem to choose quite often. I played around with the anchor points and curves of the shapes to create something slightly different. I am keen to try and create something new from scratch for next week.

LM Logo Designs

Initial ideas for logo design for LM construction business

Bad type made...better

For our typography TOP last week we were asked to find two really hideous fonts and typeset them to make them beautiful. Don't know how well this worked, but I was quite pleased with my typesetting! I chose a piece I wrote for a review of a fashion exhibition a few years ago, I decided to use fonts that were a juxtaposition to the genre of the text - Graffiti! So off I went to the old Dafont website and discovered the typefaces Most Wazted by Magique Fonts and Typographic Onedalism by Mans Greback...wow...just wow.

Contextual studies: Laughter is contagious

Proof that laughter is contagious: http://www.wimp.com/laughtercontagious/

This is what we want to prove in our contextual studies presentation. After lots of discussion we came to the conclusion that people are inclined to laugh over specific points that they find funny for personal reasons when brought up in conversation. I specifically was repetitively made to laugh by a Fawlty Towers reference of how Sybal makes toast in the morning, despite the fact that I had seen the joke numerous times over the years.

Contextual Studies : British Humour

With two Americans, a Brazilian, an Indian and two british members, british humour is something that our contextual studies group found interesting to discuss. There are many aspects of british humour that make it unique. It is often said that foreigners struggle to understand when we are being ironic and sarcastic, which is something I find comes to me naturally in everyday life, which is why this is the aspect of British humour that I want to investigate further. From my searching the internet and library catalogue I've discovered it's quite hard to find examples of people using sarcasm when it's something that comes quite naturally to us in everyday life, so lots of watching of comedies for me! So i leave you with something to illustrate the absurdity that British humour sometimes encompasses, the Knights who say "Ni!"
