Flickr regulars may remember my Polo project which I undertook over a weekend back in August. Work involved replacing the bonnet and passenger wing and applying some much needed tlc to the interior and exterior by way of a very thorough clean.
I had two outstanding jobs left to do after that weekend in August. The first was to replace the passenger wing mirror with the correct body-coloured item to match the driver's side. This was done a few weeks ago in mid December. It took a long time to find a reasonably priced secondhand unit in the right colour on e-bay, but my patience paid off and I eventually managed to obtain one at the end of November. This was fitted easily enough and looks much better than the 'temporary' unpainted one fitted some five years ago.
The final job was to source and fit the VW centre caps for the alloys, as the VW logos seemed to have fallen off all four of the originals. There are loads available on E-bay, so another quick search saw a set on its way to me. These were received just in time for Christmas and fitted on Christmas day morning!
So here's the finished project... Shame it needs cleaning again, but unfortunately the rain over Christmas didn't allow me any opportunity to get out there and give it a quick clean. Maybe in the New Year...
I am being headache with my design for the final project in this week. I use to modify the idea even in last minute, always want to make things perfect. I understand this is not realistic, but at least want to see a better result. Personally I think a designer somehow like a chef cooking a steak that he should knows whether it is too raw or over-cooked. I am still learning to be a top chef.

Project 365 - #354
Inspiration: online discussion of Nightwing in a bathtub eating gelato and Bathound wanting some.....
Result: see above
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB , Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman and Birn, Epsilon series sketchbook
Notes: total nonsense but once it was stuck in my head there was no getting rid of it besides trying to draw it.
Also....my PC keeled over and died this morning. For the foreseeable future I am without access to my scanner and accessing the Internet via my tablet.
Bromine, symbol Br, atomic number 35 is a red, non-metallic liquid discovered in 1826 by Antoine Balard in a salt marsh. *Though perhaps a German student Carl Lowig found it first but didn't get around to claiming it. Bromine is not something you want to stick your nose in, as it is irritating, burning and hazardous, with a noxious vapor.
The name bromine comes from the Greek for "bromos" or stench. The stench might even be that attributed to a stinky goat.
From bromine, we get bromides, which are compounds containing bromine. An example is silver bromide is used in photographic processes.
Bromine/bromide has also influenced language. That is the use of bromide to mean dull, uninteresting, trite and tiresome. To quote wordsmith.org: " In earlier times, potassium bromide used to be taken as a sedative. So any statement that was intended to be soothing ("Don't worry, everything will be OK.") acquired the name bromide. Eventually any commonplace or tired remark and anyone uttering such remarks came to be known as a bromide."
From this boring "bromide" comes "bromidic," the adjective form.

My print was created by screen print with 3 screens for 3 color process. Due to some learning curve errors, in the end my screens were created by painting the negative space with screen filler.
I used the image of a goat after reading a reference to "stench of the goat" relating to the Greek word for stench. This goat is standing by a marsh and inhaling the nasty red vapor of bromine (but he doesn't mind, because he already smells).
After I had designed the image, I went on to read about the linguistic connection between bromine and bromide/bromidic. I thought that was really interesting. I always like when sedation leads to new words. Nowadays I don't think these terms are used much, but we should put them back into use. It can be the new cool slang if we get the right people saying it in public. It's basically the equivalent to "triflin'" (trifle-ing) anyway.

I love this project, everybody's prints, and can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks to azuregrackle and everybody else. Various internet sources were used in obtaining the above info about bromine.

Nepal Project Teddy from Menu, designed by Afteroom.
"The Nepal Projects series is born of the collaborative efforts between Menu, Norm Architects, Note Design Studio, Afteroom, and A Hint of Neon. The Swedish and Danish design studios have partnered to create this series of exclusive handmade items from Nepalese craftspeople.
The project is meant to provide young women with jobs to keep them within their own communities, and to prevent human traffiking."
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
This was harder to get than I thought it would be. Finding a bridge over the interstate that had a sidewalk was difficult. Going out there after dark with cars whizzing over the bridge behind me wasn't fun either. Finding a place to park and then access all of it carrying my tripod, camera, and remote trigger....just awkward. What we will do for a picture! I finally figured it out and caught lots of motion on the interstate tonight. f/20, 13 second exposure, on a tripod, through a fence on the bridge. At least when I was done I got to go shopping!
A small project consisting of setting up a shoot with random passersby and getting them to pull a face.
All participants where informed of the project and asked if they wanted to be a part. To see the rest of the project you can visit cambrils.tumblr.com/
Lighting is provided by a softbox umbrella camera right and a bare strobe for hair light.
Project Description:
This secondary school addition includes concrete foundations with structural steel framing and metal decking, built up roofing, masonry and stucco. This addition was completed while school was in progress, which involved extensive tie-ins to the existing facility complete with temporary heating and hoarding. Student safety and noise mitigation was a primary concern. Certain construction activities were scheduled around class times.
The Westpro Advantage:
Focused operations ensured the safety of the school populations. Efficient scheduling reduced impact on school day to day operations, while ensuring an on time and on budget project. There were no accidents with respect to Safety or School Operations.

Urban Belonging Project was created by Urban Belonging Collective (INT): Sofie Burgos-Thorsen (DK), Drude Emilie Ehn (DK), Anders Koed Madsen (DK), Thorben Simonsen (DK), Sabine Niederer (NL), Maarten Groen (NL), Carlo De Gaetano (IT), Kathrine Norsk (DK), Federico Di Fresco (AR), Gehl Architects (DK), Techno-Anthropology Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Service Design Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Visual Methodologies Collective – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (NL), Center for Digital Welfare – IT University Copenhagen (DK).
The Urban Belonging Project innovates methods for citizen engagement that foreground diverse and marginalized experiences in planning. The project invited participants who identify as lgbt+, deaf, homeless, internationals, ethnic minorities, mentally vulnerable, and/or physically disabled to document their experiences of belonging in Copenhagen using participatory GIS and a new open source photovoice app, developed for the project.

Germany - Lubeck: Marienkirche - St. Mary's Church, built c1250 - c1350; demolished 29 March 1942; rebuilt 1947-1959.
Built in 1561 through to 1566, the Astronomical Clock is considered to be a real treasure of both art history and sacred history. It was located behind the High Altar in the ambulatory but was completely destroyed in 1942. Only one dial (which had been replaced with an earlier restoration) remains in the St. Annen Museum. The new Astronomical Clock was constructed on the East side of the Northern transept in the "Death dance" chapel. It is the work of Paul Behrens, a clockmaker in Lübeck, who planned it as his lifetime achievement from 1960 - 1967, collected donations for it and constructed the elements of the clock himself. He also maintained the clock until his death. The clockface is a simplified duplicate of the original. With a complicated mechanical system, the clock shows planetary positions, phases of the sun and moon, signs of the zodiac (astronomically, not astrologically), the date on which Easter falls and the Golden Ratio. At 12 o'clock midday the bells ring out and the movement of the figures before Christ consecrating spurs into action. The figures were originally Electors; after post-war reconstruction they are now eight representatives of the different races and peoples of the world.
