me news

tipografia siciliana

i realised that it may not be entirely clear that ‘me studio’ has temporarily relocated to a slightly warmer and better tasting location for a while: a small villa on the coast of the beautiful island of sicily, before it gets too hot and too many people arrive…

this is also another reason the blog has become a bit quieter than usual, it transpires we are actually staying in a seaside property belonging to a quite famous italian documentary photographer, i’ll post about him later this week, it was a new name to me… so i’ll say ‘ciao for now’ the pasta is calling me :)

weekend posters

the head coordinator of the weekend school ‘sofie blom’ sent me some images of the teaching session i did a week ago, so here they are…

the idea is to give kids from a, perhaps, less fortunate background inspiration about the types of profession they could choose and to help them understand that it is your own hands… our particular sunday session was about design & advertising

i have also enclosed some of the posters we designed together in a short time that afternoon, the kids had all been photographed (by co-volunteer and photographer ‘jaap stahlie’) i then helped them to use a quote of their own thinking as the basis for a poster campaign to promote the ‘weekend school’ to other kids… it as a very worthwhile experience on the whole… but it also reminded how tiresome 13 year-olds can be…

more (and less) of the same

good morning… notice anything different? good… you’re not really supposed to, the site is the same but also completely different: last night at 8 past 8 in the evening (a significant date) the complete ‘mestudio.info’ migrated over to wordpress…

so what? well good point; it looks the same, smells the same and it’s still ‘me’ but… it does mean a lot of major differences behind the screens: try clicking the title of a post for example, comments (when i feel like it) can be left, videos can be watched, you can find old posts and there will also be a working rss feed within weeks, plus widgets, coloured type (woo hoo) and plenty of other stuff like a searchable database and useful post tags to help you navigate the growing amount of data that can be found here…

in the meantime there is a new category here on the left that contains.. well nothing so far… you can however leave a comment there for now (a little test to see how that works, i have a lot of very sarcastic friends so it might be a bad idea…) watch this space for more news, although ironically things will definitely be a bit slow around here in the coming (two to three) weeks as we work hard to implement all sorts of new stuff… by mid-june things will be back to normal again, well normal…

and finally many thanks to ‘harm’ for doing the complicated bits (i.e. everything except writing this post)
