Visual communication- CHOSEN

This week has been great, not only abit of a break but I have found the vis com project fun to do- although now with a few of the 30 things left to do I have found I have left the hardest ones till last and they are proving somewhat difficult, yet I think a modern approach of minimalism could well be the answer!!
Today I went to the Woolff gallery and saw Clay Sinclair's work- I feel this complimented the project- it was fun and his ideas made you chuckle! Personally my favourite of his work was 'beautiful people', his work was young, modern and refreshing- making you smile which I think is important when looking at art. Yet the humour also appealed to different ages as I went with my mother and she too saw the funny side of the works- wanting to buy the 'real men' for my dad yet at a couple of thousand pounds although this work was great- perhaps this won't be his christmas present!!! But walking away this exhibition although small was definately worth a visit- and although this is soooooooo cheesy the colour and humour did brighten up the day having got literally soaked at the station.
After going to this exhibition I went to the 'bookshop' which honestly was crap!! Firstly couldn't find the place, secondly it was pouring with rain and lastly it was tiny! Walking around what seemed like a box with a little women staring at me- really wasn't worth the visit! Saying this there were some intersting mini sketch books ( although I could have probably created something similar myself), and it was on the list of 30 things to do!
So... 26 done, 4 more to go!!!
