Random Coldplay thoughts...

This week in Denmark's album chart, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto is back on top 10 as no. 10 up from 34 - I think that it is because of Princess of China.

 

And Princess of China is new entry in VH1's download chart at no. 5.

 

 

4 years ago today - on 22.6.08 - I became a Coldplay fan after having heard VIVA LA VIDA for the first time and instantly falling in love with both that song and Coldplay for good - that was when VIVA LA VIDA debuted at no. 1 on UK single chart. :vuvuzela:

^oh that's awesome Nancy! :awesome:

I'm painting my toenails in a hotel room in Dallas. I bet Jonny and Chrissy are doing the same in a much nicer hotel on the other side of town? :thinking:

That is very likely, yes :nod:

Strawberry Swing Pop-Up Book

As a second year GCM student at Ryerson we had to create either a slip case, book or box for my Binding and Finishing II class. I decided to make a pop-up book based on my favourite song as well my favourite music video, “Strawberry Swing” by Coldplay.

I chose six scenes from the video and drew out my own interpretation of the characters and setting. Once all my sketches were complete I had to take pictures of my drawings instead of scanning them because something was wrong with my printer. The images were placed in Illustrator, live traced, coloured and placed on a background. I originally wanted to have the pop-ups pop at 180 degrees, however, I didn’t have enough time (or patience) to create mock ups so I opted for 90 degree pop-ups.

Once all of my spreads were completed I printed them on 12pt gloss card stock; the parts that were going to “pop” were printed on separate sheets of card stock. The spreads were trimmed and then the pop-ups were assembled onto the appropriate pages with (cheap) double-sided tape. After the pop-ups were taped into place I glued a sheet of 10pt 2S gloss card stock on the backs of the spreads to provide stability and to also cover the portions of the spine that I cut out to create some of the 90 degree pop-ups.

The signatures were glued back to back and then cased into the cover that was made out of binders board and a laminated bond cover. Unfortunately, since I am horrible dealing with glue, it is covered in it and I did not jog the block correctly resulting in the spine being a tad crooked.

Overall, for my first attempt at a pop-up book I am pretty pleased with the outcome of “Strawberry Swing”.

PS I love you Coldplay!

"We have one song that we wrote for Alicia Keys that I don't think we could ever do because it's all about being a girl and that kind of thing. I sing like a girl I admit, but you know …'' ''That particular song has the word 'superfly' in it and it's very hard for an English person to sing that word without looking like an idiot.''

I looked at today's tv-programme (23.6.12).

 

For BBC Ent (Entertainment) it says: 21:50 - 22:40 central European time: Coldplay: Then and now.

 

The programme will be re-broadcast from 2:30 to 3:20 (central European time).
