Artsmart

So, over the weekend I went to Artsmart, organised by the University of the Arts. There were lots of stalls set up which, supplied a range of fine art, design, fashion and crafts.

AA PROJECTS REVIEW 2011

I went to see the Architectural Association School of Architecture exhibition.

"Projects Review offers an overview of the AA's 2010/11 academic year. On display are hundreds of drawings, models, installations, photographs and other materials documenting the world's most international and experimental school of architecture. At the AA, architecture is pursued as a form of cultural knowledge, across year-long design projects and portfolios..." - Brett Steel Director, AA School

V&A Logo

"This sign needed to be readable from both sides and we noticed that there was an interesting symmetry in the logo that allowed us to reverse it"

-Sebastian Noel

I had to take photos of this amazing rotating logo, located at the underground entrance to the V&A Museum! I recommend checking it out. If not, then at least check out the video!

The London Book Fair 13th April 2011

"The London Book Fair is the perfect place to meet with over 23,000 industry professionals in Earls Court, London for three days of education, networking and business opportunities dedicated to making words go further."

Last week, for work I had the opportunity to attend The London Book Fair which, was pretty awesome! I have never seen so many books! :) plus it was interesting to see how books still make an impact on society all around the world.

One Thousand Cranes

"In a shattering moment the world stops."

Donate, download, print and fold an origami crane in support of Japan. http://www.onethousandcranesforjapan.com/

"Japanese tradition teaches that a wish will be granted after one thousand origami cranes are folded. This ritual has helped many Japanese to recover from sickness and grief. The ONE THOUSAND CRANES project seeks to draw on this ancient healing and show that the emotional blow received can be returned through the strength of solidarity and human compassion"

After my 5th attempt... here are photos of my origami crane.

Designers Makers Market

"A weekly market showcasing London's most talented Designers & Makers"

Today I visited the Designers Makers Market in East London with Lisa. The market runs from 2nd April till 24th September! (Every Saturday). Lot's of interesting creative-ness to look at!

The Art of Make-Up

Yesterday, I went along with my friend to get a makeover done at Mac Cosmetics. It made me realise the way we put on make-up can be a form of art. I love looking at all the different colours available. My friend was a model for the day!

Pick Me Up Exhibition!

So, last weekend I went to the Pick Me Up Exhibition at Somerset House near Embankment.

Of course, I had to bring my camera to this amazing exhibition. Excited as I was, I got my camera out of my bag, click... What happens next? I realise I had left the battery at home. FAIL. Major FAIL. (So I had to carry around an SLR camera with no battery) RANT OVER.

Good thing I was with my friend Lisa (By the way you guys should check out her blog... it's AMAZING! http://lisaedoff.blogspot.com/) Lisa encouraged me to start my own 'design' blog) She took lots of photographs at the exhibition and kindly sent me some for this blog. The work is really inspiring with fresh new ideas. Here you go! Enjoy.

It is definitely worth checking out! (it's on until the 27th March) Here is a little preview of the amazing work.
