This Is Loud

I have made a new graphic piece. Please gaze upon it as if it were you're unborn child. Now, I don't claim to be a graphic genius - I know this piece here isn't exactly amazingly original and innovative. We have deffinately seen things much like this before, but I did it anyway. I guess I just wanted to see if I could. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to, so I am very pleased, which is why I'm posting it. A group of forum buddies and I are doing a little competition by where we have to design album covers and such. So I made it look very album cover... ish. Hence the speakers and my singing idol, etc. Anyway, I hope I have given a twinkle of visual enjoyment to a very very small percentage of the population.

MIGHT I ADD: Yesterday, I went to see the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Normally, I wouldn't be seen in this gallery. For one thing, it's a fucking rip-off. An exhibition costs £8 WITH a student discount. How pathetic. For another, it's the kind of gallery that people go to when they are on a 'Family Outing'. It's full of old people and screaming children. Also, the exhibitions there aren't my kind of thing (the Photographic Portrait Prize being an exception - it was amazing). However, despite all this, I felt I just had to go to see the Vanity Fair portraits. For the following reasons: High-fashion fascinates me, I love portraiture, and being obsessed with film, to see extremely talented actors and the like depicted in such aesthetically interesting ways is an over-whelming joy for me. If you live in London I highly recommend going to see this exhibition. If you want to see the photographic portrait prize, you are too late I'm afraid...

I have a feeling that I'll be buying an issue of Vanity Fair some time soon.
