Popcorn: The Smell of Cinema

For anyone who knows me well enough (or even those who have only just met me), they are aware that I have a love for movies and going to the Cinema. I can't place when my love for cinema began exactly. Seeing a new film on the BIG screen, the surround sound, munching on some sort of confectionery while you watch, (usually Malteasers for me).

It is a past time I will never get tired of. Perhaps it's just one of those things I was always meant to enjoy. Or maybe there's a deeper reason I enjoy the occasion of going to the Movies. It started long before I went with friends. It could of been when Mum took me as a child to see Bambi (one of my earliest memories). I mean I recall being pretty engrossed in the film while my sisters couldn't sit still. (admittedly they are younger than me though).

Or perhaps it is because of my Dad who to this day I still go to the cinemas with to enjoy a latest release film. He has taken me to see a number of movies over the years. Apollo 13, Independence Day and all the Star Wars movies just to name a few. And as I've got older I have taken him to see a few movies.

Perhaps it was both my parents combined who could of been responsible for the love I have of film and Cinema. Whatever the case, I love cinema and going to the movies. Which is why I designed a brochure about going to the Cinema and the different types of Cinema there are. Well for a Uni assignment. I don't think there would be a need for such a brochure in the real world. People like going to the movies and seem to already know about the Cinemas that they have available to them.

Basically the assignment was to design a DL Brochure around any subject we desired, so long as what we designed looked good and was designed in some way that could represent the subject matter. The information within the brochure was entirely up to us. And so I present to you my DL Brochure design for the assignment, a brochure about Cinemas and going to the movies which I have appropriately (I feel) titled "Popcorn."







Everything was designed by me and the photography was taken by myself as well. The next part of the assignment is to create a webpage with the same subject matter. It wont go live onto a server, but perhaps I'll take a screenshot when it's complete and blog about it later.

2013

So once again it's been many a month since I have actually posted on here. When I last left you all we were back in 2012. It is now (as the title suggests) the year 2013.

A lot has happened since then as you can imagine. Christmas, New Years, Uni Holidays. I had my wisdom teeth out which I may blog about before I forget the experience. Many new dinners had, and Rums I have indulged in with the discovery of a new Rum! Sailor Jerry spiced Rum.

Over the Uni Holidays I became a slave to Social Media by getting myself a Twitter account and becoming obsessed with Instagram. You can follow those here;

If you so desire.

Naomi and I have moved out and into our own place. Uni is back in full swing and so far has proved to be a busy looking year! I have done quite a bit, but at the same time haven't even begun to hit the tip of the iceberg. Also in 13 days I will be 25. Holly Shit!!

Once again I will try and keep up with posting, but as always there are no guarantees.
