Binge Britain

Jonathan Cleave

British adolescents are drinking more and more and yet governments seem reluctant to tackle the problem – maybe because the tax on alcohol generates enormous amounts of money!

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

James Gibson

The British take more than 25 million trips to the seaside every year. The use of type reflects typical seaside advertising and postcard style. The words are the first line of the famous British music hall song:(1909)
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
I do like to be beside the sea,
I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom,
Where the brassbands play
Tiddley-om-pom-pom!

Rain

Ollie Bartlett

This piece was inspired by the terrible English weather this time of year. I remember when I was sketching out the idea for this it was raining and most of the time I spent on this it was raining and even as I am writing this it is raining! The umbrella is made up of all the English cities & counties and represents England and amount of rain we have. I dislike rain as much as the next person but eventually it always stops, hence the blue background.

I choose Gill Sans for these piece of work, a typical English typeface. with a clean solid look”

Congested

Josh Jones

The use of letterforms and symbols reflects our modern culture – how busy we are – how we are always in a rush – and in particular how everything is getting congested.
