New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.
These photos are of Zebedee's Yard that is part of Trinity House. For Magic Roundabout fans I'm afraid it's not that Zebedee but a Mr Zebedee who was a headmaster at the school. In the yard is a chapel and a very moving memorial to trawlermen who have lost their lives at sea.
In 1968 there was a triple tradegy of 3 trawlers being lost in the Arctic and 58 men losing their lives. Conditions on the trawlers were crude and dangerous and the wives, led by the indomitable Lilian Bilocca campaigned for safer ships and won. This article tells you more and there was a BBC 4 programme that told this sad story:

The clock, created by John Flanagan (1865-1952), is constructed of a variety of brilliantly colored precious marbles against a mosaic background encircled by the signs of the zodiac in bronze. Above the clock a life-size figure of Father Time, executed in bronze, strides forward with scythe in hand.
To the left and right are the figures of maidens with children representing the seasons. The dial of the clock is approximately four feet in diameter and in the center is a gilt glory, or sunburst. The hands of the clock, which are also gilded, are jeweled with semiprecious stones.
I chose this one because it looks quite like an icon - specifically, it reminded me of Time Machine (the HYPNOCLOCK). Plus, it's large, high-contrast and easy to read from anywhere in the room.
The clock is from Amazon UK (£13.50).
Product photography for a client that needed clean and simple shots of different items, this was a part of a clock collection with a kinds of clocks, old and new.
after an alarm clock malfunction this morning, I got a new one. It will play me "Here Comes The Sun" tomorrow morning. (hey, I had to do something with my iPod classic after upgrading to an iTouch)
broken electro-acoustic guitar*: $50
IKEA clock parts: $2
guitar clock: awesome!
*don't worry, the guitar lived a fruitful life and died a natural, albeit tragic, death
With the risk of enraging the community I am applying this photo to the collection. I must hereby swear that this photo was taken by me although not with my own camera!
Due to the pressing deadline I prefer to submit this photo titled "University clock" and subtitled "Pretty blond in B&W"!
I must also add that all the postprocessing work (far from perfect) has been done in Aperture!

The case of this clock is by Hans Coenraadt Breghtel (1608-75) with movement by Adriaan van den Bergh. It is from the Hague in 1650-75 and is partially gilded silver.
It appears in the V&A exhibition Baroque: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
This clock was made for display as a masterpiece of design and technical virtuosity. The exceptionally fine goldsmiths' work includes richly embossed floral ornament and also silver filigree, a technique of Chinese origin. The design, with complex references to the zodiac, the seasons and the passing of time, presents the clock as a Temple of Life.
V&A Museum no. 92-1870
