Hello, my name is Alex and I design stuff.

23/Tall/Muscular/Buff/Compulsive Liar

Bonjour, I'm Alex and welcome to my media stream of creative output.

After finnishing my Design degree in spring last year, I felt a little dissillusioned not being able to secure full time employment. Needing to pay the bills and afford to eat,
I went self-employed, working as a Builder predominantly.

Yes, I know...

I'm a bit of an entrepreneur by nature as my close friends know... Not in a scrap metal stealing way, I just like to have lots of fingers in lots of Pies. I'm usually trying to 'get something going'. 'Trying', being the key word.

Apart from design, my favorite things in life are usually free, apart from sun dried tomatoes and olives. When I'm feeling flush though, I enjoy making music, collecting vinyl, air-cooled scene and vintage cars, fine food, tool shopping, horror films and general indulgence in nostalgia.

In fact I'm interested in most things under the sun... I like to think that everything in life can be interesting, you just need to find that thing that makes it special.

I'm also a vegetarian animal lover and a super hero.
I’ve just been sorting through my old memory sticks and found this from my first year at Uni. Why didn’t I do more with this idea? I think there’s enough irony to spread this over everyones toast, if you get what I mean… You probably don’t.

A little taster from one of my current personal projects… Any guesses where this is going?

ronniesoak asked: Hi, I saw your Counter/Culture poster at the uni open-day thing - and picked up an A5 postcard of the PAIN one. I liked it, and your tutor obviously didn't get it - their loss.
Anyway, I would like to post a copy of it to my fetlife profile, with links back to here (or any page you want) and copyright notice. Please let me know if this is OK, if not then no hard feelings.

Yours, Ronniw

Hi mate, sorry about the late reply. I’m not an ignorant prick, honest! Haven’t been on much lately/don’t really know how to use tumblr. Feel free to re-blog my work or whatever, that would be much appreciated. Cheers for the support!

First post in a while, Been pretty busy/slack lately. Whichever. Trying to do more graphics after a bit of a hiatus. Here are some of the more recent bits of design I have done, mainly logotype work.

This came to my head earlier while walking to catch the train:’Second amendment: the right to bare arms’
Such a crap pun, I know :/ …But maybe significant when thinking of the world around us. So many people have a it on them about Muslim women wearing burkhas. Personally I don’t really see the problem. Maybe the the right to bare arms is a metaphor for our judgement being put in the wrong place? Who knows, not me.

A selection of corporate work I have done for the University of Bristol.

Haven’t uploaded in a while… So here is a logo I did for a local company that specialize in reusable nappies… I know what you’re thinking, Awesome.

I Love Junk. A colection of knick-knacks aranged into type!
What more do I need to say? This is one of my favorite pieces, again taken from my second year. I think this is probably the project I tried hardest on. Getting a 68 after all that work was quite a blow, think I lost a lot of interest in the course after that.

When I was 18 I wanted to fuck on the floor and break shit.

When I was 25 I wanted to fuck on the floor and break shit.

When I was 35 I wanted to fuck on the floor and break shit.

Now I’m 40 and I want to fuck on the floor and break shit!

Hopefully I may hear back from someone.

Note: The tea bag will be a real one!
