Bottom of the Bottle was put on a backburner for regrettable reasons, however, I have quickly found a style that has been appraised out of crit circles and a hand type solution that compliments the style I am going for. I just have alot of illustration work to do and development, although I am confident I will have alot done for this brief as I am wholly enjoying the project and wish I started it sooner.
I will be starting the preliminary mural this weekend.

The most annoying part of this brief was making sure I found a border/cover decor suitable for the brief and of a quality that I would be happy with before sending off to the printers to be bound and foiled. I just cant afford to make a mistake in regards to production values, this aside, the die cannot be changed once purchased. I will be sending off the final designs tomorrow to make sure that I have enough time to produce the book itself.
I will also be re-visiting Spink and Thackwray to double check leather stocks and for a final estimate. I have emailed about 10/13 binders in total and they seem to have the quickest turnaround and best value for money.
The dagger needs to be modelled in 3DS and my blacksmith is incredibly awful at being in contact, despite my numerous attempts at contact.
The map needs to be foiled and the trouble came from screenprinting where a woman was cleaning screens for 2 days. No joke, she had the largest screens available and no one else could really clean their screens for processing. That said, the power hose nozzle broke, but has now been replaced. The map will be done by tomorrow since I will be able to treat the screen today.

This is the brief I am least pleased with in terms of quality and the overall outcome, I think it is safe to say I enjoy reading about and learning about science rather than illustrating its ideas and concepts. I thought on a limited basis of how to approach it and as a result, it is obvious that it is lacking as a significant brief. I do however have plans to produce a replica Times newspaper that echoes the many articles and stories published recently on the role of science in our society, how it is often disregarded despite the irrefutable logic and reasoning behind the practice. This will then be followed by the magazine supplement demonstrating the importance and nature of science. More or less finished, I will just be focusing on the paper for the time being and have print slots all next week.

Code is the most complete and the brief I am currently most pleased about. The content took me ages to source and refine and edit and re-edit and re-re-edit. I do however, think it would be wish and entirely beneficial to the content and concept to propose a website that demonstrates how to redeem the online voucher code for the Virtual Geographic feature. I think my only concern is taking decent photos and finishing my new copy of quest which I received yesterday in the post.
OVERALL
General delays due to unforeseen circumstances or what is known in the insurance biz as an "act of god". Which can be easily rectified by producing and finishing off all the relevant components for the briefs.
My own self-doubt and over cautiousness in regards to my design work has halted visible work for which I am fully aware of. Once again this can easily be rectified by re-timetabling my weeks and making sure I stay on track for hand in.
