You can find more of work on my blog - f4mmedia. wordpress.com, as well as various youtube
channels - f4mmediavideo, futurhood av, pinterest -f4mmedia, behance - futurhoodav and beyond.
I have no real idea how you would categorise this work, whether it is design, some variety of the
artful.Here you will find the full edition of the work which
follows on from the taster edition, edition 1,posted on slideshare.
A major font used within this book isKabel - designed and created by Alan Carr, freely
downloadable from fontspace. Titles etc. were done in neo geo by
Iconian fonts, downloadable from Urban fonts.
The everyday, those odd thoughts to one side, the ways youreimagine your life, the what-ifs, the casual glances, slightly different
perspectives, ways to pass the time, how we soothe the mo-ments or have them soothed for us, occupied, interested, disinter-ested, plain, decorated, discarded, used for lunch, snacked upon
all of this in a few words and images, whether you would callthem just text, design, or something else
I dont know
There are many ways in which a life can be medicated and here Iam tallking about that which goes beyond the medical. We medi-cate ourselves and have it administered.
There are so many ways in which our time and attention is occu-pied - going beyond questions of work, of income, our family andsocial lives

is there much to say while I tell myself the stories I have notlived
but still at one or two removes can find at least a faint joy,supposing them to be a little minethat story of the workaday making sure of each gentle worry each small imperative- car, holiday, mortgage, rent
party for those close and adored
that story of pursiuing her
whose eyes are firmly fixedon what might be a small stagebut still for her with a satisfying exclusivity or does she gaze towards a set of years blissed domestically a gaze perhaps fixed on a torrent of whatevers
and so I salve and soothe a series of days as I reach later days

leaves wander leaves blown
as you walk the course of your work
a breath or two taken just to taste that sound
of talk and trafficthere but out of reach
suitably backdropped
