Process

So I'm on my final day of designing my front cover in InDesign for Jim.  I'm still getting to grips with this program but I'm starting to find it somewhat easier to use. Like Jim says, 'It's a matter of learning it through Youtube Tutorials if you have to'. I guess it's something you learn to love, through patience.

Here is an image of my development of the front cover:

Soap Box

A fellow student in my class created a soap box based on Graffiti. I think my opinion on it was probably the most strongest/different. I don't mind Graffiti that has meaning, and yes it can be visually attractive sometimes but I don't agree with placing it onto peoples business's. There was a few videos in the presentation and it made me cringe, they had an elephant painted which is just cruel and completely pointless. The video also showed an artist who basically attacks walls with spray thats attached to some sort of extinguisher. I really don't understand the way Graffiti artist think more than anything.

I like Banksy, or at least tolerate his work.
His work is funny, meaningful and for once shows intelligence.
