Robert Pledge! 28th August 2008

Spent the morning tinkering with a few things at uni with my layout and my website before meeting Robert Pledge in the afternoon when he came to help us edit our 8 page spreads.  I did my draft what seems like months ago now but in reality was probably a couple of weeks but it still seemed reasonable.  Not completely happy with the over being the church so i swapped it over to the far more intereesting image of the house with the wooden scaffolding and the piece felt stronger straight away.

Pledge was fascinating to talk to about laying work out and how we should strive to break rules and push the boundaies and not just be trying to make our work fit a predescribed formula and he recommended some useful elements for me to tinker with the final layout to really add a sense of mystery or the viewer about the work being in China not England.  A few changes would mean it would not be obvious until the middle at leats of the layout that Thames Town is a Chinehousing estate and not one of the many new buids in the UK.
