Looking back to the planning stages this project, I was originally going to omit researching into supermarket carrier bags for no legitimate reason what so ever; something that I thankfully realised not long after. I think it was primarily due to the fact that in today's current culture the supermarket shopping bag is such a throw away and insignificant object, no-one really cares to pay any attention to it at all. It seems that it only gets moaned about on the evening news for the damage that it is doing to the environment? This in my opinion however, is why I think they can be rather interesting when you pay a closer attention to detail (at least from the perspective of a graphic designer). So, approximately 4 hours ago I made a nice round trip to visit all of the supermarkets situated around my local area to acquire some of the offending items... This is where I confess that the Sainsburys bag was already in my possession as there isn't actually a store near me for least 30 something miles.
I'm originally from a little town called Lowestoft. It is pretty dull and full of quirky seaside culture. In term time I now live in Leeds and study Graphic Design at Leeds College of Art. On the side I also like to pursue drumming and the collection of rare vintage materials.
