I'm Alec Tear, a first year Graphic Design student at Northumbria University.
I have always loved to draw, experiment and search for compositional balance in the work which I produce.
This blog is a place for me to document and showcase my work as I develop as a designer.
Haven’t been a very good blogger the past year so I’m trying to get back into it.. Firstly, following up from a previous post (the one of the big bright red toad, if you hadn’t guessed) here Is our completed meter high sculpture. Me and a friend managed to get sponsored by a local business (ISpace) and were contracted to paint the “Typographical Toad’ last summer where it stood with 39 others on the streets of Hull for 10 weeks. There’s quite a lot of stuff about it on the internet as the media got pretty involved including this video where for some reason these two guys go round kissing all the toads… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5HUCKVYuXg(for the record my name’s pronounced like a tear drop not as the bald guy says it)
