These are a few bits of my uni submission back in June for my course at LCC. You can see more on my <a href="http://www.annabetts.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />
<br />
The first was a exploration of six typefaces, analysing their anatomy. The next was a book of my research from my sketchbooks, designed to be almost like an annual report I suppose. Lastly are a few invitations I designed for a fictional event. </div>

I don't suppose anyone still visits this little blog since I haven't posted since February, but just in case.. Hello! I'm still alive.<br />
<br />
The reason I have been a bit off-grid since the beginning of the year is that I started a postgrad course in graphic design in London in January, which has been so much fun but a total whirlwind. I'll be posting some work up soon, but in the meantime here are some bits and bats of illustration I've been doing for various clients, most of which is on <a href="http://www.annabetts.com/" target="_blank">my website</a> if you want to see more.<br />
<br />
Let's be friends again, yeah?<br />
<br />

The loveliest design I've seen in an inch square. These tiny icons appear on the reverse of each textbook in the Science Library and Nature Library series by LIFE, and date from 1961-67. To see the almost-complete collection (I think we're missing one or two), visit my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/annabetts/sets/72157639734601604/" target="_blank">Flickr set</a>.</div>

I'm now back in the UK, and it's taking some getting used to. Fog, frost and darkness by 4pm were all things I managed to forget about completely in the warmth of South Africa. What a shock.<br />
<br />
In my last week in SA I travelled along the Garden Route and saw some incredible places. This was the first place I stayed in the beautiful seaside resort of Hermanus. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/norfolkbeachhouse" target="_blank">Norfolk Beach House</a> was a treat, packed full of retro furniture and appliances, I will definitely be back one day!<br />

Yesterday I went to Kirstenbosch gardens and basically just took a gazallion photos. The proteas were unreal. Seriously, they're so weird. I also got really into the Cycads - the tree dinosaurs (they've hardly changed since the Jurassic period) - and Aloes. All a bit other-worldly. I'm going to have t think of some way of using all the amazing shapes, and colours.</div>

It's been raining here so yesterday I went and hung out at Cape Town's aquarium, which is pretty cool. I think I'm going to start a new project for fun and I think these weird underwater critters could be a part of it.<span id="goog_1689407501"></span></div>

At the weekend I went for a little jaunt to Haut Bay in the car, and then the next day climbed up and down mountains to view the same beach from way above! I am a bit concerned about my fitness levels as I was rather slow, and am still aching, but the gorgeous fynbos plants were a wonderful distraction from the punishing ascents! </div>

A couple of weeks ago now I went to the sweetest small town called Montagu, about two hours' drive from Cape Town, and went mad taking photos of houses with Dutch gables, and other visual treats.<br />
<br />
Montagu is nestled in amongst the most stunning mountains, and there are plenty of walks (and horse riding treks (mine ended in tragedy - I fell off 5 mins in!) to enjoy. There are also hot springs. So lovely! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #676767; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">For the last few weeks I've been involved in the Cape Town <a href="http://100in1day.co.za/" target="_blank">100 in1 Day</a> project, a community-led day of 100 or more brilliant social interventions spanning the city. The organisers are the loveliest and liveliest bunch. Each session starts with a group shout of 'One hundreedddddddddddddd, IN ONE!". It's exciting stuff, not least because of the impact on local neighbourhoods this umbrella event promotes. </span></div>

I've been in Cape Town for a month and my goodness, there are some amazing looking people here! I thought I'd do a little project for fun, of gorgeous women. I've so enjoyed it.</div>

I like that when you go to somewhere new, all the little mundane parts of an environment seem to take on new meaning in their subtle differences to your own. Here the trees have a different look, sometimes contorted by the wind, known as the Cape Doctor, blowing away dirt from the city in a particularly south-easterly direction. Whatever the shapes and colours, it's a beautifully green lung of place thanks to these natural forms.</div>

This week I visited the South African Natural History Museum, and it was incredible. What a collection, just amazing to look at, and even better as you're allowed to photograph. Some were plastic replicas, especially the fish (would be a bit smelly if not I imagine), but the stuffed animals were breathtaking, albeit a little upsetting. Standing next to an adult hippo and being able to see its huge teeth, and seeing a stuffed African elephant killed over a hundred years ago within touching distance was bizarre. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, it's the kind of place you could visit again and again, but these were a few snaps I collected on the day. So many furry, tentacled, boney, beaky things to see!</div>

Just a few ideas for a wedding job I had on lately that were fun to do. The theme was vintage luggage labels with an Austrian flavour. </div>

Yesterday was just amazing. We drove out west to the <a href="http://www.sanparks.org/parks/west_coast/tourism/attractions.php#flowers" target="_blank">West Coast Nature Reserve</a> to see the flowers that appear in this part of South Africa as if by magic every spring. I have always wanted to do this, so it was a real treat. </div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
The reserve is on the Atlantic side of the Cape so is very different to the previous coastal photos I took at Hermanus, on the Pacific side. Although that was a rough day at sea, and yesterday a particularly calm sunny one, the Atlantic side tends to be wilder and more rugged. In any case, it was stunning. </div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
In the reserve we saw zebra, buck (various local deer), bright lime green weaver birds, huge yellow-billed kites, flamingoes, a snake, and tortoises all going about their normal business in the wild. It was beautiful. And the flowers were just incredible. I don't know how many times I said 'lovely', but it was a lot. Swathes of colour greeted us from the very beginning of our drive, and in many places it looked like someone had sprinkled confetti all over the fields. Many of the daisies I remember from our garden when I was little, my Mum must have brought seeds over when we moved to England, and it was so sweet to see them again.</div>

I arrived on Thursday evening after quite a tiring journey via Dubai and have been out and about with my amazing hosts since. On my first day we went out to Hermanus, the most stunning seaside town where we did a bit of whale-spotting. The sea was really rough and we had to run for cover as a cloud broke over us, but it was a magical first day. It's winter here so quite cold, but lovely to see the landscape in the off-season.</div>

Yesterday we went to Woodstock, and had breakfast at the <a href="http://www.theoldbiscuitmill.co.za/" target="_blank">Biscuit Mill</a>, which has been transformed into a buzzing collection of stalls selling artisan foods and handmade goodies. Some of the permanent shops like <a href="http://www.katvanduinen.com/" target="_blank">Kat Van Duinen</a>'s, contain some of the most beautiful clothing. There's loads to explore outside the Mill too, with a host of antiques stores selling quirky furniture, from repurposed old suitcases turned into padded seats, to traditional colonial wicker tables, and stuffed animals. It's quite an amazing mix.</div>

I'm here for three or four months so this is just the beginning of a very exciting time! I hope to try out life here properly for the first time since we moved to England when I was a toddler. My passport and ID books arrived just last week, so I'm now officially a SA citizen, so I'll be hunting down some freelance work while I'm here too. I hope you'll join me as I find my way about, and give me any tips for things to do too.</div>

My time in Cambridge is running out, and I'm starting to get nostalgic.<br />
<br />
Having spent so long here it's easy to take for granted the stunning surroundings, as I trudge to work or battle through the swathes of tourists and language students on my lunch break. But it is an amazing city, and recently I had a chance to capture some of it for a little film I made for work. It was to show a European audience who'd never visited Cambridge what it looks like, so it's a little heavy with University stereotypes, but I'm afraid that's just what it's like here. Some days you feel like you could have stumbled into a film set.<br />
<br />
I cannot take credit for all the footage, some was shot by colleagues at the <a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk/" target="_blank">University</a>, but edited by me.<br />

I've been totally neglecting this blog, but I thought I'd pop my head in, to post a couple of bits of work I've done for the Royal College of Midwives magazine. I've really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
I'm currently moonlighting in the Communications office at the University of Cambridge and it's really fun. I answer the phone to the press, and get to promote all the exciting research coming out of the University. Unfortunately it's not going to last forever, because I have a very exciting trip planned for the end of August.. I'm going to live in Cape Town for a few months! I can't wait. I'm going to do lots of illustration while I'm there and can't wait to see what a new environment does to my work.<br />

This is a little editorial piece I did for a facilities management magazine about companies merging. The chairs are based on Robin Day's 1950 design for Hille.</div>

After teaching a summer school last year and having all my treasured vintage typography books go missing (it still hurts to think of it), I've been looking out for a source of vintage typography loveliness. And now I've found it...<br />
<br />
I was going through another bag of the stuff that seems to make its way into my car after each trip to my parents' and this time it was my Granny's knitting patterns. The adverts in the back are great. Who wouldn't wear a twinset called "Patricia"? The lettering comes in all shapes and sizes and has me twitching for a dip-pen and ink session, studying and enlarging letterforms.<br />

I found these Victorian prints at the weekend and am really amused by how hairy South African caterpillars are. The chrysalis are weird and beautiful too. My Dad who will remember these from his childhood describes their hair and 'long and luxuriant', I don't know how luxuriant I find them, but they certainly look quite dapper. </div>

I've been working on a silly project for fun.<br />
<br />
I had this brilliant idea of how long-distance lovers could have a chute to hop down so they can see each other at bedtime, or to say good morning. I think they'd sell like hot cakes. I also wonder what the world would look like if it were covered in pipes like these. Obviously you'd want them to take up as little space as possible, and like, not block out any major landmarks. But you'd also want them to be fun to ride on and have loads of twists and turns, as you might have a long way to go...<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think you'll agree it's a great idea.</div>

My little family of succulent plants are growing fast! I have them on my windowsill in front of my desk and they are just <i>so</i> weird, they're enough to distract me every day. Most of them are native to South Africa and I bought them online <a href="http://www.cactusshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a> - well worth a visit if you're interested. I can't stop looking at mine, they're so fleshy and bizarre. The plant at the top flowered a couple of months ago, and the bloom looked like an orange daisy, but within 24 hours had completely shrivelled up! Second from bottom is something called 'Baby Toes', and the tips of each toe are slightly see-thru. So weird!</div>
