Test bottle from my second batch of home brew, which has been bottle conditioning for just over a week.
It’s a red ale, dry hopped for four days with about 35g of citra and 35g of cascade hops.
I was slightly worried about infection, and it carbing up properly, so opened one of the forty bottles a fair bit earlier than I needed to. It’s still very young, but it’s got a lot of potential and should be lovely in a couple of weeks time.
Glasgow’s weather is excellent.
Roughly 20 hours apart.
Spent an afternoon with the QMU Whisky Club and friends to mark the anniversary of a close mate’s birth at Auchentoshan distillery on the outskirts of Glasgow.
The tour was fantastic, and the whisky… alright.
Took my camera along simply to take photos for the club’s website/social media, as its run by a few friends, but ended up with a few nice snaps including the one above, that might be worth sharing.
Posters for the GUSRC Spring Election 2013.
Full brand development project, admittedly not my finest work as it was commissioned immediately following the completion of the GUSRC Annual Report, a 12 week project which exhausted me creatively.
I think they serve their purpose, and it was exciting to work with the organisation as it promotes the new position of VP Student Activities - the replacement for the role I served in as VP Comms.
Did this yesterday.
She said yes, which is a sign of it having gone well, I think.
Thanks to Gavin Reynolds for coming along and shooting this. We’ve got a whole album of photos thanks to his long lens and hiding behind tree skills.
An article I worked on with one of our sound engineers about showcasing the capabilities of headphones or earphones using a diverse mixture of music.
Pretty happy with the end result, though the list was originally 12 tracks long, but that’s the editing process.
Glad you give a shout out to CHVRCHES in this piece, too, not that they need it. Genuinely one of the most exciting bands to come through Scotland in a while, looking forward to seeing them again on Saturday at Arches, Glasgow.
Aye, and the image is supposed to be a cool, artistic sound wave, only realised it looked a little bit like a screencap of a shampoo advert after we posted it.
Having previously done an Annual Report for Glasgow University SRC, I knew there were things that could be improved upon, given a second chance.
This year’s report is a lot subtler in its use of colour, less bloated with single-page articles and filler and general tighter in both design and copy edit.
My role in producing this was layout and design, statistical analysis and data analysing, copy editing, proofing and preflighting.
Pretty pleased with how it turned out. Marked improvement on my previous effort, in my opinion.
Been a while since I updated this, lots to add when I get round to doing a full update, but here’s a recent piece of work I did for Glasgow Uni/GUSRC.
The University/SRC are launching a new postgraduate social space next week. I was involved with developing the new facility from nearly the very start of the project and worked on it for a year before moving on. Having had a say in product range, access, governance, tech set up, and look and feel of the place, it’s pretty sweet to be invited to do the poster for the public launch next week, which I’m also attending. Rounds it off nicely.
Lucky enough to spend two weeks in (fairly) rural France in July and August with Abi and family. Hadn’t forgotten French. It was excellent.
Wouldn’t want to say that it was the most successful VCS awards in history because of the narwhal in a top hat, but…
Snapped a few photos of the LGBT flag being raised on the South Front of Glasgow University this afternoon to mark International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO). It’s a great gesture by such a prominent institution, and the flag will be visible for miles from Glasgow University’s vantage point on the hill.
is a grammatically valid sentence in the English language, used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs.”
This is giving me wonderful flashbacks to the Grammars of English module I studied four years ago.
Yas, just got a copy of this in my inbox from my favourite BBC bro.
