| | | | | | DATE : TUESDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER 2009 | | PROJECT TYPE: RANDOM | | TITLE : SAVE THE MOON | | DESCRIPTION : DESIGNED IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY BUSINESS WEEK (US) TO DESIGN A TEE FOR A CEO... MADE IT TO THE PUBLISHED FINALS.
MY TEE DESIGN IS FOR JULIET DAVENPORT, THE ETHICAL & ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS, AWARD-WINNING* CEO OF GOOD ENERGY - THE UK’S ONLY 100% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY SUPPLIER.
*HTTP://WWW.GOODENERGY.CO.UK/ABOUT-GOOD-ENERGY/OUR-AWARDS/
JULES WAS WELL AHEAD OF THE CURVE WITH INNOVATIONS IN THE SUPPLY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY WHEN SHE FOUNDED GOOD ENERGY.
SHE HAS OBVIOUSLY GOT HER BADGE FOR HELPING TO PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET - SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR A FORWARD THINKING CEO WHO IS MOTIVATED TO ACT FOR THE GREATER GOOD?
SAVE THE MOON!
I RECENTLY READ THAT NASA WERE PLANNING TO BOMB THE MOON IN ORDER TO EXAMINE MATERIALS UNDER THE SURFACE, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR BOMBING BEING THAT IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO SEND A TEAM AND DIG - SO BOMBING IS THE PROPOSAL. FAIR ENOUGH. BUT, THE TROUBLE IS THIS, WHEN MAN DOES SOMETHING ONCE HE CANNOT STOP HIMSELF DOING IT AGAIN, IT'S IN HIS NATURE. SO ONE BOMB WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER BOMB, WHICH WILL LEAD TO A BIGGER BOMB AND A DEEPER HOLE AND THEN TO MANY MORE. BEFORE WE KNOW IT THE MOON WILL LOOK LIKE A HEAVILY MINED QUARRY - MAYBE NOT RIGHT WAY, BUT IN A COUPLE OF CENTURIES WE WILL START TO CHANGE THE GEOMETRY OF ITS GEOLOGY.
THE PROBLEM OF THIS IS THAT WE NEED THE MOON TO SURVIVE IN PERFECT BALANCE - WE NEED IT JUST AS IT IS - IT'S SACRED AND SHOULD NEVER BE TOUCHED. IT SETS THE RHYTHM TO THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR EXISTENCE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO MANY CULTURES, BELIEF SYSTEMS AND NATURAL CYCLES.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE MOON WE SIMPLY WOULDN'T EXIST. IF YOU VISUALISE THE IDEA OF MAN EVOLVING FROM FISH, AT ONE STAGE IN BETWEEN YOU WILL PICTURE AN AMPHIBIAN-TYPE CREATURE BEING GIVEN A HELPING HAND OUT OF THE WATER AS IT WAS WASHED UP OUT OF THE WATER WITH THE TIDE, A CHANCE TO SURVIVE ON THE LAND. WITHOUT THE MOON WE WOULDN'T HAVE A TIDE - THUS THE MOON GAVE US A HELPING HAND IN THE JOURNEY OF OUR VERY EXISTENCE.
IF WE START TO MESS WITH THE MOON THEN WE START TO MESS WITH THE FABRIC OF OUR EXISTENCE. SO MY MESSAGE FOR EVERY FORWARD THINKING CEO WHO CARES FOR THE DELICATE BALANCE AND FUTURE OF LIFE ON EARTH IS TO SAVE THE MOON AND CREATE A GLOBAL MOVEMENT TO SIMPLY LEAVE IT ALONE, UNTOUCHED, FOREVER. IF WE DON'T THEN ONE DAY WE WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT. | | |  | | |

Welcome to
Tom’s world of art and illustration.
From time to time, Tom has found himself obsessed with a particular
theme, idea or figment of his imagination, so much so that he has
no other choice than to channel it from his mind into a physical
form of some sort (for fear of it staying inside his head and driving
him mad).
This forms the basis of his ‘better out than in’ philosophy
to ideas in general. There is little point in thinking or dreaming
fantastical thoughts if you are never going to share or do anything
about them.
To visualise or represent thoughts in some sort of physical means
is the first step any idea has to take in order to become a reality,
allowing you to evaluate, discuss or reject it. Sometimes a vision
is not so much knowing where you want to go, but to realise where
you don’t want to go, therefore, like the natural journey
of a river flowing towards the ocean, ideas should be nurtured into
following the path of least resistance. Or whatever?
Tom has no formal training in art and therefore, this really is
just a form of expression. However, as a professionally qualified
product designer, he has developed a high level of competency in
3D digital illustration, some examples of which are also showcased
in this section. |
