#SS Share Sunday

Not much to report on the work-front this week I'm afraid. I'm still plugging away with my project in Newquay, more images from that to follow soon - I keep saying this, and one day it will eventually happen, promise. Unfortunately things have been crazy around here recently, what with exhibition-planning and magazine-writing going full steam ahead. Both this blog and my university work has taken somewhat of a back seat. So, for now, I thought I would share with you another blog... which is also sharing other blogs. Yes, here in Falmouth we are big fans of Matryoshka dolls and the film Inception.

This recent post comes fresh from the Pig House (if you don' know what Pig House Pictures is by now, then please look at a few of my previous posts). This little nugget of information was written by myself, no less. I think the first sign of madness is when you start talking to yourself on social networking sites...

magazine spreads - final versions (I think)

After feeling like I have become clinically addicted to Adobe InDesign - seriously, it's amazing - I have come out with what I hope will be my final designs for my magazine spreads. Both are for a module on typography and narrative; combining imagery and text etc. Enjoy.

A Shot in the Dark, magazine layout MKII

After deciding that I was not happy with my previous layout, which had too much text and not enough emphasis on the images, I have produced a revised version of my magazine layout for my story on blind shooting. I believe that the layout is far more simple, with not too much text. Discuss.

A Shot in the Dark, magazine layout

Below is a magazine layout which I have produced for my five-picture story on Joe Stinton, a blind shooter from Helston, Cornwall. The layout will be submitted for  a module on layouts and typography, and will also hopefully b making it to Pig House Pictures' online publication on Issuu (more on that exciting development to come). For now take a look at the two spreads and hit me with some good old fashioned criticism; and on that note, I would just like to say that I do not like the second page of this spread. We are limited to using two pages only to fit five images on, so it is a bit of a tight squeeze.

photojournalism guru David Campbell...

David Campbell

For those interested in intelligent journalism and arguments, looking at the words of writer and producer of photography David Campbell would probably be a good idea. Campbell's aim is to "analyse the contexts that shape visual storytelling, so we can produce better photographic and multimedia work".

Sounds good, and it is. Go figure.
