Risographing

Yesterday I went back to Bolt Editions, to do some more Risographing, this time I really wanted to use textures especially after seeing how well the Riso picked the last time. I created another cliche Bowie print (available to purchase from here). Next time I'm hoping to really play around with layering colours.

The Open Quote Initiative

A little snapshot of my current project focusing on the under representation of women in design. The Open Quote Initiative aims to create a discourse within the design community, capturing some existing conversations already occurring in our industry on the gender disparty.

Each pull quote from the book has a corresponding number which links to The Open Quote Initiative Forum where the debate continues and provides a platform for designers and thinkers to further engage in the issues highlighted.

The book is set in Mrs Eaves, a typeface which pays homage to one of the many women in typographic history. 

Where are all the women?!

For my dissertation I'm asking "Are women underrepresented within the design industry?" I've found that has suddenly become a little project which is about more than just hitting the word count. Below are some first prototypes of  a booklet/leaflet I've been working on in relation to this. It asks questions, it has some odd type and it wants to change the world.

My new project

Introducing my newsest Sally based venture: Once a day, every day I plan to do something Sally related. This will all be documented on this blog: sallyseason.blogspot.com. Meanwhile for more Sally Season related goodness, check out cargocollective.com/sallyseason 

The Print Revolution/Rave Craft Soc

Kick starting Rave Craft Soc (www.facebook.com/ravecraftsoc). This also gives me a great chance to get on that 'mac-less' project. (http://cargocollective.com/soofiya#2476443/The-Print-Revolution) We're currently working up our manifesto. Bring back print! Disclaimer: This society is mostly about going to type setting, booking binding, letterpress courses and some nice hand crafted design. However, feel free to 'fight the power' alongside this crafted based goodness.
