Final HB Presentation!

Well this is it, our last Hugo Boss presentation has arrived. I'm quite proud of us making it to the final round. Down to the final 11 or so, from the initial 120 people in our program who signed up.

It has been a wonderful experience despite the amount of hours my group has poured into making this project look damn good. We are all sort of relieved to have it finish.
Best of luck to us tomorrow morning. We find out Thursday who has won. In order to see what we have been busy constructing, I will post the slides.

Crumb collection completed!

Finally finished this lame project.
It was kind of fun being a messy eater, even though I tried to keep it organic and not spill on purpose!
In case it isn't obvious enough, that is a lunchbox with my picture on it.

Spills + Crumbs

How long has it been? I have been neglecting this blog for some time. I have been quite busy helping Emilia with her brilliant project - collecting wishes in exchange for expertly folded paper cranes. It is a Japanese legend that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, you get one wish that is sure to come true. Emilia is achieving this on a smaller scale - 500 cranes distributed and the last crane will be her wish for everyone elses to come true.

I went with her to hand out in Covent Garden and at Uni, meeting lots of different characters. It was certainly more exciting than doing my project. The theme of this project is "A collection." I decided to do spills and crumbs, since I am incapable of feeding myself without some falling overboard. We have also been busy preparing for our second Hugo Boss presentation, which I think went quite well. Only one more cut to go, if we make this one!

Here is what I have thus far on my craptastic crumb collection dealio. I am trying to take a scientific approach. I would have 2 boards, one with a floor plan displaying where the spill occurred, the other would be photographs of the mess and statistics. Have I accomplished this? Your thoughts? I have a long way to go, but here is what I have so far.

Floorplan with illustrations of the edible items in their state of wholeness.

Board with photos + stats, the evolution from left side (rough) to a more refined design (right).
