More from a book without boundaries
A few more pages from my experimental “I Dream Of…” book.
Book without boundaries, selected pages – mixed media, 2010.
The van and the hummingbird are prints made by drawing on perspex with watercolour crayon. The images were then transferred to damp paper. The patterned backgrounds used throughout the book are scanned fabrics (scarves, dresses, shirts) which have been laser printed and transferred to paper using acetone. The photo squares of yours truly are acetone prints with watercolour washes.
As I said in my previous post, it’s far from perfect but it is exactly what I set out to make.
Book without boundaries
A lifetime ago, in 2010, I made a little book for the Design & Arts College Foundation course. The brief was to create a book — any kind of book, any topic, any size or shape.
I decided to put together something personal and explore some of the things I dream of…
Book without boundaries, selected pages – mixed media, 2010.
I really went to town experimenting with ink, watercolour, ephemera, scanned fabrics and printing techniques. It isn’t polished, it’s far from perfect and it is exactly what I set out to make.

D&A Fairtrade Exhibition 2012
There is currently an exhibition of Fairtrade coffee projects by Design and Arts College graphic design graduates at Addington Coffee Co-op in Christchurch. The exhibition marks Fairtrade Fortnight and will run from 5–20 May.
Student project: Fairtrade branding campaign – logo, in-store poster and coffee cups.
The idea behind my campaign is that Fairtrade Fortnight is a celebration of fair play. With this in mind, I decided to play with the word ‘fair’. The sun motif refers to a fair day while bright colours and cheerful flags suggest all the fun of the fair.
