Church Fete

   Every year in my little hamlet back home, we hold a church fete to raise funds for the upkeep of the church and grave yard. For the past 40 years it's been held at my Grans house, down the road from mine but as of last year, the location has changed and the torch has been passed to my Mom and Dad. 
    For the past few years I have been given the job of designing the posters to advertise the event within the local area. As is the same with most of my work, looking back at what I created last year I am less than impressed with my efforts. I have once again been assigned the job of designing the posters and am hoping that I wont look back this time next year and have that same dreaded feeling of "dear god, did I really design that and think it was good??"
    Im rather pleased with this years posters and home that the visitors flock to the event after seeing my posters glimmering at them from notice boards and shop windows:

hedonism

noun

[mass noun]

• the pursuit of pleasure; sensual self-indulgence.
• Philosophythe ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life. 

  

   I am now 3 weeks into my final University project and it is all about Hedonism. I've found it quite difficult to get into this project but think I may have finally cracked it and I have a feeling over the next few days I'm going to steam ahead with my ideas.

   One of the things that I am enjoying most about this project is finding out the simple things that people find pleasure in. I think sometimes it is the simple things that provide the most pleasure such as the smell of freshly cut grass, I then found a website that is full of such things. Although I wasted all of yesterday afternoon trawling through the site and ended up not doing any work. I'll post the link but please don't blame me if your work rate dramatically decreases: http://1000awesomethings.com/
