worry not

hi guys... i realise from the various comments and the possible impending return of the first wounded soldier that things have been very mixed as foretold... just a few words of encouragement which hopefully will settle any fractured nerves or anxious fears... you are not falling behind with the program here.. it has been carefully designed this year with a slow start to accomodate your group trip. when you get back (and yes we miss you ) you will have no trouble at all integrating back into the schedule and hitting all your deadlines. so relax and enjoy whats left of the experience. we expect you to struggle to communicate with us and do all the work out there but do hope you enjoy yourself. i am however thoroughly enjoying your blogs. blair you are a touch of class. robbie well done my fine friend, i did tell you about the injustice but good to hear you speak up; rant on my good man. you are in the tatters of an imperialist society transitioning into full blown right wing capitalism. they wouldnt know a socialist if he started a blog. gillian - i can feel your anxiety. its full blown but seriously try and relax into whats left. go with the flow. give up on control here and do not worry at all about college work. it is the experience which counts most for you all...where are the other two fine young bloggers? will post later. be calm enjoy and explore.

Mind F*%k

Nothing very possitive to say. Although I have been told my flight may be changed, I am, at close of play on Friday still unsure if it's happening or not. I can't get my head to work on anything useful so, unless, I manage to fly home either sat or sun sometime, the 2pm deadline will be missed by me. God, I am craving a bag o' chips the food is outrageous :(

I've had a bit of spare time today and managed to finish my found type alphabet/font. It's not quite as complex as I would have liked but it's worked out OK. Our Monday deadline became a problem when we were told it was a national holiday. Seeing as I won't have internet connection for the weekend it has to be finished today, thus is slightly less varied than I had hoped.

The basic idea is that there are these crazy, tangled networks of power cables in Delhi. they were one of the first things that really caught my eye when I arrived at the hotel on the first night. Ever since then I have been fixated by them. My original concept was to make the letters from the wires! Thinking this might be a daunting task for myself, I'm a pretty basic photoshop guru, I had a look for a less time consuming way of communicating the same idea. On a random walk to the metro station one day I noticed these sticks connecting some of the wires, this then proved the inspiration for my typeface. Also included are some of my favourite found typo images, accumulated over the period I have been here:
