London
So last week now as part of the transatlantic design project in London, we met up with Alex and Will from its nice that. They really are two of the most genuine guys you are going to meet, they enjoy what they do and its a huge part of their lives but they also have a great perspective in that they also have many other interests and ways to spend their time, it was refreshing and really exciting. They graduated in 2006 and its inspiring to see how far they have come in such a small amount of time and that they are so down to earth. We all sat down and just had a really great and enjoyable conversation it was easy and they gave us some great advice and insights into the London side to our design education project. It was followed by a trip to the pub where I realised after no food and one pint I was a pro at slurring my words, but it was a great night I only hope they could all be like that. A great start to an exciting new thread of our project, I cant wait for more.

Photo Album
Nothing beats having real photos in an album which you can sit and flick through, rather then having to search your hard drive to find the right pic among the thousands you have. I decided to print out all my fav pics from the last year and now after 3 hours and 640 photos I have a lovely set of albums full of wonderful memories :)

Graphic Design
Ok so this is finally the last post about my amazing summer, and I thought I would end it on all the amazing graphics I saw, everywhere I went I saw things that inspired me, the signs were different, graphics were different, I collected so many tickets and took so many pictures of shop signs, i saw so many things that i could never have got from the internet, going to different countries shows you things that normally you wouldn't see - small hand made signs or pictograms or type on the floor. I feel like i have collected so much along the way and my diary is a piece of ephemera itself now that i will always keep as a memento and source of inspiration.

Train Journeys
The journeys on the trains were really inspiring, I loved sitting and literally watching the world go by, it was always a time to reflect and think. I loved just listening to my ipod and having nothing to worry about. There were also beautiful views to be seen and great conversation to be had, there were adventures like when we ended up on a night train on a boat, and when we had to sleep up right all night, and where we didn't even get a seat yet managed to sit in the dining cart the whole journey hehe just talking about life and trying to find answers to things. There were many bad photos and laughs with people sleeping with their mouths open and even dribbling hehe - so much to keep us amused. Each city we went to was so different yet equally amazing and inspiring. I have so many fond memories in each place i went to. Each place had its on personality, different architecture, different tickets, different ways of doing things, different languages and so much more yet we always just adapted and made the most of every place, i will really miss those long train journeys all the people we met and fun we had and having that forced time to think, was truly lovely.
