Saturday Night Fever

And here we are again, our fate in the hands of those who wist not what to do with us.

So The Beast as we shall now call him, was again lyrically spewing his wares over the unsuspected, but today he brought his cousin, She-Beast, and together they formed an indominable partnership.


The first hit swiftly (with an adjective), the other delivered a crushing blow to the psyche (a verb!), and the two together were fearsome in their attack. Linking verb and adj, using only the coloured paper we had come to find little solace in, an image was created to satisfy the two. I was given "charming dancer". What. The. Chuff.
Working with pop culture references and a love of film, i devised a strategy - John Travolta doing his moves his crazy dance moves. Both dancing and charming. Brilliant!




And here's one everyone else made earlier. Its not as easy as it looks at first, and some of the more successful ones are easier to spot (take bottom front, beautiful scream) but others are a little harder to interperet even once you know the creators intended words!



Then comes the little furry animals awww. Now its verb plus bear. As in the animal. Not the other one. I got scared. And my word was scared too. Coincidence? I think not.

Children Of The Corn

Visual language. How we love it. Its like being 5 again.. "here's some pretty paper, go crazy with your plastic scissors and fishy glue". Good times.



Obviously there's more to it than that now we're 'proper adults'. For this we had to take a line (self-interpreted), a square )a little more obvious) and a letterform cut from brightly coloured pieces of paper and arrange them on an A5 square of, yup, coloured paper. Except there was one more thing... THE RANDOMISER!!!!!!


Spitting vocabulary like a 14 year old Harlem gangsta, the Randomiser in one move destroyed the simplicity of what could have been a lovely afternoon of fun and giggles and made us actually use our head, and our brains and our minds. AS you can guess (which is the point really) my word was MIRROR.




I think i adequately captured the essence of my word in my work. Don't agree? Well ceck out everybody elses. Yeah. Aha. Not much better hey. But overall i think it was a success. The challenge didn't stop there though, oh no.






Try shaping "party". Do it. Or "open". But i did it. Yessir i did.





Can't for the life in me remember what this one was though. Must've been a goodie though, as per usual.
