The North in Focus

chwood_aeroplane
Those of you who RSS directly to this blog will have missed my flagrant advertising of ickledot’s latest work on the home page. ickledot is extremely proud to have provided scanning and design work for The North in Focus, an exhibition of photographs by Bradford’s own C.H. Wood. This is currently on at Bradford 1 Gallery, in Centenary Square in the centre of Bradford, until January 25th 2009.

A Change of Theme

Not too many people pass this way but those few who have been here once and have returned for some reason will notice a couple of changes. Firstly, I have moved this blog off the home page. Just wanted a pic or two to appear instead of a load of text. Also, am trying out a new design. It’s based on a Rapidweaver theme from SeyDesign. Not getting the best from it yet, but we’ll see how it goes.

Carl Bromwich Photography

As ickledot’s twitters have indicated in recent weeks, a new working relationship has been formed with portrait photographer Carl Bromwich. In addition to being a superb photographer with many years experience, Carl is a fine chap and ickledot is proud to be playing a small part in his success.

Long time no blog

Well, the whole month of June has gone by and nothing new has appeared on the ickledot blog. No excuses.

Into July and the work moves on apace.
Last Saturday the Industrial Museum opened its Summer of Science Exhibition. ickledot designed the text panels for this display and hopefully there will be some images soon.

As indicated by ickledot’s twitters, some new work has come from Carl the Photographer. Having spent some time working on an archive of Belle Vue Studios, one of Bradford’s former portrait photographers, it is good to see the tradition is thriving and styles have moved into the 21st century.

Testing Testing

For some reason my blog has stopped archiving properly and only displaying April's stuff. I'm adding this one just to see if it clears the problem.

Domestic Bliss? Nearing completion

Finished off the slideshow today. It looked ok off the projector although one of the pics was the wrong way round. This was due to me flipping it for a text panel and then forgetting to switch it back for the slides. God job I was there as the printer reported that the text on the panels was printing characters other than the intended ones. Luckily I was able to sort it, I think so anyway.

Domestic Bliss? Further Progress

Been at the museum today. Text panels are now finished, in pdf form and ready on disk to go to the printers. The invitations have now been printed. they are basically an A5 version of the poster above with information on the other side. Returning next Tuesday to put a slideshow together.
