Nerdy design thing of the week…2




I also took this with me when I left work, it was too cool to leave.
I estimate its age at somewhere between 12 and 15.

Nerdy design thing of the week


My Pantone mug! It was a gift when I left work. Of course
if they knew me even a little bit, they wouldn't have chosen pink!!

Well what else could it be…


but part of the Grand Tour project by The Partners for the National
Gallery! Of course I didn't know this at the time,it was only when I
went to the Design Museum's Design's of the year exhibition, that I
understood. Was quite intrigued when I spotted it though, and
the point of this post? Well it won a D&AD award yesterday!

Looking Up Athlone




I didn't seem to look up much in Athlone, too busy with college
I suppose. The only two I have are from a lazy sunny day at
the end of college, and a drunken night out at the end of college,
hence the blur! Actually I might add this one in too, as it is the
epitome of Athlone in winter, depressing as hell.

Looking Up London


And sometimes I looked down! Love these chairs at Tate Modern


Tate Modern


Hay's Galleria


Farringdon Station

I love London, well to visit anyway, I still don't know if I could
handle living there, but I am willing to try!

Looking Up Dublin


Dart bridge near Talbot Street


A pub on Dame Street (can't remember the name!)


Connolly Station

I was going through old photo's and I realised that I seem to be quite
fond of looking up, particularly in train stations. Here are a selection
of photo's where the subject matter is whatever happens to be above
my head. As the name of the post would suggest, this first lot were
taken in Dublin.

Hmm

I don't like the way the text is running beside the picture, I'll have to figure
out how to fix it, but if I don't, and that's quite possible, just let it be known,
I'm not happy! Fixed it!

The Thing



Because nothing exciting has really happened since starting this thing,
I'm just going to put up photos of interesting (ish) things from the last
year or so, starting with this, it washed up last Christmas on the beach
near where I live.
