Just finished work on my first piece for News and Magazine 2. Initially intended to start writing pieces a lot earlier but complications came up involving the time I had to devote to it and plans for the pieces. I initially intended this first piece to be a live gig review but that fell...
Experience
posted by Tom Hogarth
I’ve come to realise this is less of a blog and more of a place to see what I’ve been up to and what projects I’m working on at the moment. That includes university work. I’ve begun serious work on my first novel and I’m now well into Chapter Two, which is...
Finished Magazine
posted by Tom Hogarth
Wrote this and forgot to upload it in time. Oops. We finished the magazine late in the library, delirious. We had designed each of our four sections individually in InDesign and sourced ads that related to those sections. I’ve had a lot of positive comments about the cover I made, so...
Coming Together

Magazine is coming together nicely. Ads are being sourced from digital copies of magazines relevant to each section. Formatting in regards to design will vary between sections as sections are being put together separately during the Christmas break. However, a general design theme of white and...
The Ever-Busy Life of an Extremely Lazy Student
posted by Tom Hogarth
I’m lazy, and always bored. Contradictions Ho! However, I do actually do a lot. I’m at university, I’m writing a book (more on this later), I’m starting a news website (and this), I have a girlfriend and I do my best to read books, watch films and play videos games as much as possible to keep up with the industries and improve my critical skills. First point; I’m writing a novel. I’m not going to tell what the novel is about yet but I am going to talk about it in the future and I am going to eventually post the first chapter here as a teaser. That is actually completed, second chapter is coming along and...
Books!
posted by Tom Hogarth
I’m not posting a lot lately, so I’m going to try something different; The 50 Books Challenge! I’m not really sure what this is so I’m going to just go with what I’ve seen and do this; I will read as many books as I can over the year of 2012, starting a little...
Art in Music
posted by Tom Hogarth
Who says music can’t be art anymore? There’s been a big uproar over Tyler, The Creator’s music along with the rest of Odd Future. To paraphrase the artist himself, if everyone is okay with Quentin Tarantino exploring rape, murder and pointless violence then why can’t Tyler write a song that explores the mindset of Ted Bundy? (Incidentally, if you didn’t know, that’s Blow from the Bastard album) The same goes for bands like Mindless Self Indulgence or the spin off group The Left Rights who wrote a song about being on crack as well as a song about middle-class white people with a music video that features...
