Branding Live Brief: Ol'over

We worked on a live brief from a London branding agency on the last couple of weeks of uni. We basically had to create a new retail concept to get the nation cooking, endorsed by everybody's favourite cheeky chappy chef; Jamie Oliver.

We came up with a touring VW camper van that would visit town centres, student unions, schools etc. and teach people to cook on site. Naturally, we used a bad pun for the name.

Introducing, Ol'over!





Local buses would advertise the event to the community.



Billboard gardens would advertise the event in the actual location. It would be made of perspex and have herbs growing inside it. These herbs would then be used for the recipes that the people were actually making.

My last.fm account

I've only recently started using last.fm and still don't really see the point in it, but it's interesting to see what music I like to listen to. Because I didn't know the music I liked before last.fm told me.

Here's my most played artists, in case you were wondering.

Typography Project. On the most appropriate medium.

Game show idea: Credit Munch

We had a session last week where we were put into groups and had to come up with a game show idea and present it; we had a couple of hours which is great, the way I like to work. My group (Stevie, Nikki, Lawrence, Lucy and I) came up the "Credit Munch". The basic idea is that it's Ready Steady Cook for the current "economic climate." We got Tesco value beans, weetabix, bread, cornflour and custard and added food colouring to make it look mouldy then challenged one member of each of the other groups to make a creative meal. Unfortunately for Howie, he lost and had to eat his creation. Here are a couple of post meal photos. I really need to start taking photos during crits!






























Props go to Chris Lovell's group for showing everyone how it should be done with "Who wants to be a prick?" and Howie for being such a good sport

God's Interview Room, Ark Departure Lounge and Hell

It took us hours but we finally got the room finished! The performance went really well, we got good feedback from our tutors and we had a really fun time which was the best. Take a look at the pictures, my personal favourite is the blue sheet. It would be cool to see how many different meanings you can make out of a solid colour sheet just by adding labels.

Noah's Ark Interview Room Construction

Me and Stevie, who I've been working with recently, answered a recent brief by holding interviews for Noah's Ark. With no suitable rooms we had to make our own, doing so by hanging wallpaper from the ceiling of the studio. These pictures document the construction of God's interview room, The Ark Departure Lounge and Hell.
