London Trip

London Trip! after the disappointment of having the last trip canceled due to little snowfall we encountered over the last month it was a nice surprise when Neil handed out some sheets with the new dates for the London trip. It was scheduled for Monday the 16th of February so all i needed to do was somehow get the time off of work. I went in the hope of gathering lots of research and inspiration from various galleries and museums. We started off at the Tate Britain and stayed there for roughly an hour or so before heading off on our big adventure. We walked from there towards the Tate Modern and with camera in hand i got some nice shots of parliament and the London eye. We stopped at the Tate modern for a short while in the area where you don't need to pay. there seemed to be a lot of bunkbeds all over the place as part of the exhibition and i wish i had found out what they were about as i still don't know! From there, we carried on for the design museum and when we got there it turned out there was a fashion exhibition on. We decided not to go in to see that but we still went into the shop were i found a very interesting book:

It hadn't been a waste of a day after all! I got 500 fonts with the book which meant i'm able to experiment a lot more when designing logos and posters and everything for that matter! After that, we headed for a tube station to go to the Science Museum. I was hoping there would be something on alternative car fuels that i could use as part of one of my projects, there was one. and it wasn't even a good one, it was a solar car that admittedly was very interesting but not really that much help. Not much else happened after that but i couldn't wait to get back and try out some new fonts!
