What is the best thing about print?
All I need you to do is answer that one simple question:
all we need is your answer in roughly no more than 25 words;
a photo of you we can use (don’t worry it’ll be little!)
Your name your twitter if you have it. Submit it all here
Then look out for yourself in the next issue of my magazine Ampersand

I like the way....
Photography has sort of come full circle.
Since the inception and rise in the availability of the digital camera, we have been bombarded with the constant upgrading of megapixels, optical and digital zoom, red-eye reduction, shake reduction, face recognition, automatic light adjustment etc etc. The need to make every photograph perfect, and look as if it were taken by someone far superior than...

♡ Romance, in all shapes and sizes. Whether you think/know you’re going to be with the person forever, or don’t plan on seeing them again after that night, there’s no denying that caught in the moment of staring into someone’s eyes and paying them a swift compliment before moving in for a kiss is one of life’s best treats. ♡ Speaking of romance, have one with yourself!

“Don’t waste being young worrying about the future, make the most of it.”

She makes sense all the time and whenever I feel shit she always has a combination of words that make me feel okay. She deserves to be spoilt rotten with love.

we were born for so much more
thevagabondking:
(photo by Kristen Fernandez)
we’re faced with decisions and obstacles we never chose
sometimes we have no choice but to face them
there are roads with no signs, no directions, nothing
we can sit and watch as cars pass by
but we were born to try, we were born to fly, we were born to be whatever we want to be
I'm having one of those moments...
..you know when you think about something that you shouldn’t because all it will do is make you feel like crap, and then worry you, then make you question yourself.
This upcoming week could pretty much make or break me.

University: The big choice....
Many people have asked me a certain question recently and that is which university is best to attend for graphic design based courses, and where would I recommend. I think this is a good question to ask, and as within the article ‘Money for Nothing?’ in the latest issue of Ampersand it is a complex question that provides almost as many questions as answers!
So let us take the first...

Thanks to everyone for putting up with me over the...
I’ve really been working hard with this magazine, and the response has exceeded all of my expectations by some distance. I didn’t think that people would be enjoying it as much as I did, and I am really thankful of everyone who has helped even in a tiny capacity, reblogging, reading, liking on facebook etc etc
I’ve started having some really exciting opportunities for future...

…Tomorrow the first issue of Ampersand goes live!
It’s a magazine that showcases creative culture, pure and simple. In my experience there are so many creative people out there that just don’t get the exposure they deserve, so hopefully this magazine will allow them to showcase just this!

this break has pretty much been shit.
I am none the wiser if I have a job to go back to in September, it’s as if they’ve forgotten about me, so this could mean i’m in serious money shit come september.
My family life has been shit, with my mum and her partner splitting up and thus causing a whole load of stress and upset that none of us needed at all at the moment.

Anonymous asked: I would have sex with you. Not because you are very attractive and brooding, although that is a plus, I would sleep with you because you are intelligent and seem to have a creative outlook on life.
Anonymous asked: I'm serious. You have a great head on shoulders, you seem like you're so much fun to be around, you have a great personality, you seem very intelligent, you're very handsome, and you have an adorable accent. You just seem so amazing, to me.
