Wild Beasts - The Devils Crayon

Word and image

Humans are programmed to store more pictures than text in their long-term memories. In fact, according to research cited by educational psychologist Jerome Bruner of New York University, the average person remembers only 30 percent of what is read, but nearly 80 percent of what is seen.

Billy's Eleven

Billy mawhinney also gave us a presentation on his top eleven advertisers today, also with a hangover. This is due to catching up with Max Forsythe, lol. The designers he mentioned are, Jeromy Bullmore, John Wester, David Abbott, John Hegarty, Dave Trott, Steve Henry, Alfred Marcantonio, Alan Waldie, Paul Arden, Walter Cambell and last but not least Billy Mawhinney the man himself. He showed us a range of advertisements and the one that stuck out was 'Tango', it brought back memories from being at school. This video was produced by Steve Henry.

Max Forsythe

Max Forsythe is a well established photographer. He gave us a talk on his work today that was extremely interesting, even though he was battling through a bad hangover. He proved to me that you don't need to do a photography course to produce powerful photographs. He believes in vibrant colours as he shows in his series of colourful houses around Ireland. This photograph shows an amazing landscape in Ireland and dotted in the middle a bright yellow farmhouse. He has showed me that producing a series of photos works well and gives meaning.
