At present his website is limited, as he has been focusing on his FMP exhibition and also his Behance portfolio.

I have been in discussion with Leo about a possible three collaborations over the summer months. His work is flexible to a range of styles and formats, this will play well with what I want to achieve. I would ultimately like to design three publications using his photography. I will be focusing on layout, editorial and typography. The overall look of these pieces of work is only in the discussion stage as I have no way of talking to him in person and having a good chat and share of work.

Hey man, so basically here are a few things that we could be considering.

For you it shouldn't involve much time at all.
If you have any preference or specific styles of photography that you want to experiment with, or a particular film you want to shoot on you can have complete artistic say.

For subject material I am thinking:
- Ireland cycling
- Ur FMP (I can reference and credit you within the publication, plus if I include it in my portfolio your work will be seen by the studios I visit).
- Climbing, an ongoing documentation, or a day trip or interview based.

As far as the Ireland cycling goes, there are a few things I am thinking, A photographic documentation of the holiday. Photography of the bikes. A vintage homage to cycling, or a more indie/artistic approach, painting an Image of the holiday if you will.

Basically I am looking for 3 collaborations, they won't require much of your time, just the photographs.
However I don't want clean high res digital SLR pics for all of the pieces. Some film, or just some techniques on PS, a personal touch.

And of corse if u have any better ideas, which im sure you will let me know dude. Also don't prioritise this by any means. It should just happen as the summer progresses.

Thanks mate.

PPD Presentation

Open publication - Free publishing - More presentation

Open publication - Free publishing - More portio

Of course, I am not happy with it yet.

However over summer I aim to create a lot of editorial work and some branding practice also. Working on these two areas of design and then applying a range to them will generate a lot of work, and specifically, work that is directly related to my practice going into Level 6.

Presentation Feedback

My presentation on the whole went well, which I am very happy about because I don't remember actually ever delivering a presentation which was regarded as good and well structured.

- The other members of my presentation group though it would be better for me to leave the last brief alone and work on my collaboration proposal. Lorenzo and Fred agreed as they saw it as a hinderance rather than a progression.

- The collaboration with my photographer friend Leo Cininicolo is something is really exciting for me and is giving me a great deal of motivation going into the summer months. I had good response from this. I have had further talks with Leo regarding the subject matter, so we are now finaliaing he photography style and also content.

- Lorenzo mentioned that the structure of the presentation was good. I think this is because rather than speaking through what I have learned throughout the year, I only addressed the brief that was most relevant to my ongoing practice. Also The main bulk of my presentation was to do with my specific interest in design and how I will be addressing this throughout the summer and then bringing it back to level 6.

So yep, I think finally I am getting to grips with that is being asked of me, both in briefs and presentations. Overall to me it seems like selecting the relevant information. Over the year we continuously evaluate ourselves in written form, which is useful, however trying to fit all that into a presentation is never going to work, so selecting the most relevant and current points was been fruitful.
