In the Midnight Hour

About

Hi.

Writ­ing about your­self is hard. My name is Lau­ren Har­ri­son and I’m an 18 year old stu­dent from West York­shire, Eng­land. I’ve just fin­ished a col­lege course and will spend the next three years study­ing for a Bach­e­lors of Arts in Graphic Design. I hand draw, I take phở­tographs, I cre­ate fonts and more to cre­ate my dig­i­tal works. My aim is to one day be a free­lance graphic designer. I like apples, octopi and dogs way more than any healthy per­son should like any­thing. If you wish to know more about me there’s links to things such as my Last​.Fm pro­file and Face­Book in the con­tact section.

Apple!

In the Mid­night Hour is my per­sonal port­fo­lio, resources col­lec­tion and blog of sorts. I’ve owned the domain for a while now but this incar­na­tion of it was offi­cially born on the 27th July 2010. I for­mally resided at Joy​Crusher​.Org and two domains before that. I mainly update with the brushes, fonts and pat­terns I’ve cre­ated for my own use and wish to now share. Hope­fully they’re of inter­est to someone.

You are cur­rently view­ing ver­sion two of In the Mid­night Hour pub­lished on the 16th of August 2010. It fea­tures mainly my own stock images, hand drawn ele­ments, fonts and brushes. The hand-​​drawn text was heav­ily inspired by The King & Queen font. That badly drawn line-​​art is sup­posed to be Mor­ris­sey. Try squinting.

Cred­its

In the Mid­night Hour is pow­ered by Word­Press. I am hosted by the fan­tas­tic Flo­ri­en­tal. I was pre­vi­ously hosted by Vicky who was a won­der­ful host. Some of the brushes in the cur­rent design are from Mis­printed Type. The font used for main body text is Georgia.
