Quotes from the Parish Mass Book

In the name of the father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you all.

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
    have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
    receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
    have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and he rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through our goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.
Blessed be God for ever.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good
and the good of all his holy Church.

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your resurrection
until you come again.

When we eat this Bread and drink this cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven of earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

The Lord be with you.
And your spirit.

May almighty God bless you
the father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Now and for ever.

Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Who made heaven and earth.

Thanks be to God.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

May the Holy Spirit, O Lord,
sanctify these gifts laid upon your altar,
just as he filled with his power the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for our sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

The Father, the son and the Holy Spirit

Interpretation of image

This image of a woman is about interpretation of what you see in a design. The tutor given me and my peers the image and asked us to make our own conclusion of the image. I considered a range of things. I made the design as a woman who is pregnant and expecting a child. I think it is offensive to women. Why didn't the teacher show an image of a man half naked? Modelled by Georgina Nate.

Video for Reg Perfect-Nate's 'I should let you go' song

A flashback is being shown of Reg being caught with another woman who is his other wife. Committing bigamy.

Reg then goes to his wife's apartment to ask her to forgive him. Asking her for a second chance.

She throws his things out of the window. He then goes inside and talks to her, almost convincing her to let him stay with her. She calls a cab for him to leave, he does. While waiting she punches him while he was begging for forgiveness.

He comes back to the house a month later to officially pack up and collect everything. She tells him to never speak to her again and gives him the ring. She sheds a tear. He cries in floods of tears telling her she is the love of his life and he leaves.

It's my 90th blog post.

Dairy Milk advertising poster with a slogan

In addition to the chocolate bar. I also made an advertising poster with the slogan: 'For the best & worst times'. This is about eating chocolate or popcorn at a movie and eating chocolate when things are sad, like comfort eating if you broken up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Dairy Milk

A couple of years ago when I was studying in Art. I was given a project brief about packaging and re-designing brands. I made a design based on the chocolate bar 'Dairy Milk'. The teachers liked it but they said it looked more like Galaxy, Thorntons and After Eight rather than 'Dairy Milk'. I made another design so I could see the difference, my growth and maturity.

Come out 'Mum, I'm gay'

What I have designed is a work about a person who has come to a stage in his/her life telling the people he/she loves who he/she is. Whether it is gay, lesbian, bisexual or going back straight.

My ghost designer's contract has ended

This artwork is a fictional story about me having a ghost designer. The story is that me and an artist called Israel Gabriel made a deal and signed a contract where he would be my ghost designer. Unfortunately the contract has expired.

Taking a break from blogging on Leo's Art / Graphic Design Portfolio

After loads of consideration, I have decided to take a break from blogging on Leo’s Art / Graphic Design Portfolio. Over the last year I’ve loved blogging my work on the internet. I never expected this amount of views. It’s been a good year.

I didn’t actually plan to blog my work last year. It was originally launched in 2010 as a project brief by my teacher. However I shut it down. Then I had an interview and was asked to blog my work.

This blog has gained a lot of views. In 2010 it got 176 views. In 2011 I got 1567 views and in 2012 I got 1649 views so far.

It’s an end of an era and I’m not retiring from graphic design.

Bye

Leo

Hole

This photograph is of a hole. I did some image editing with the design.

Poolmates

I decided to work on a project where I would design the webpage of a social networking site called Poolmates. It’s for professional snooker and pool people. The logo would have been stitched typography. It would have been a yellow text with a pink background. There would have been imagery of pool balls. The slogan and the sign up section would be there. There would have been a second page of the player profile page. The third page would be the match planner.

Collection of things

Growing in height

This artwork is a response to the artist Mister Rob. I was an assistant there and helped design a work about Height and I came up with a response to the work, saying Growing in height.

Why can't Julio and Romeo? (Last scenes)

Why can’t Julio and Romeo? 

Last Scenes

Romeo is with his boyfriend Warren.

Romeo

I can’t be with you. It ain’t gonna work between us. I don’t feel the same about you no more.

30 second silence.

Warren

It’s him isn’t it. You told him it was over. You left him for me and what. You just changed your mind.

Romeo

I’m sorry Warren. It’s Julio. I just can’t let him out of my life. I love him. He’s the one. I can’t let him marry that guy without telling him how I feel.

Warren is silent.

Warren

I won’t hold you back. But you change your mind so many times. If he’s the one. Go for it. Go tell your future husband how you feel.

Romeo walks away. Warren mutters.

Warren

I was getting board regardless.

Next scene

Romeo gets to Julio’s flat. He knocks on the door. No answer. He walks back and looks up. Yells Julio. Then walks away.

Next scene

Julio is at the club as it is his stag night. He is with his mates getting drunk.

Next scene

Romeo calls Rowan.

Rowan

Hello.

Romeo

Hey Rowan. Do you know where Julio is?

Rowan

Why do you want to know. You dumped him.

Romeo

Rowan I know. I’ve got to talk to him. I can’t let him go. I’m gonna tell him how I feel.

Rowan pauses.

Rowan

Look Romeo. How should I put it. I don’t know how to say this. But I’m afraid Julio and Sam have just got married and have gone on their honeymoon.

Rowan pauses.

Rowan

Julio is happy. You’re just gonna come in, get back with him and change your mind like you do with all your boyfriends and girlfriends. You’ll just hurt him. He doesn’t need that. Romeo just let him be happy.

Romeo

You’re right. I should let him be happy.

Rowan

Romeo. I’ve got things to do and I have to go now. Why don’t you go back to Warren? Julio wouldn’t take you back even if you told him you loved him.

Rowan pauses for ten seconds.

Rowan

I’m sorry Romeo.

Rowan hangs up the phone.

Next scene

Next day Romeo bumps into Jay.

Romeo

Jay. How are you?

Jay

I’m doing well.

Romeo

Hows work and stuff?

Jay

It’s good. Just the usual.

Romeo

Wow you look really smart. Where are you going?

Jay

It’s Julio’s wedding. Didn’t you know?

Romeo

What.

Jay

His big day.

Romeo

I thought he already got married and is on the honeymoon.

Jay

No Romeo. It’s today and in the church. The father let them celebrate their love in a church. A homosexual couple. Love is love.

Romeo

Rowan told me they already got married. He lied to me. I can’t believe it.

Romeo pauses for a minute.

Romeo

I gotta go.

Next scene

Romeo drives to Julio’s house.

Next scene

Julio is in the dressing room with his best man, bridesmaids and friends.

Julio

It’s my day. It’s finally here. I’m so in love with him. The rest of my life. I didn’t believe in all this marriage hype. When you think about it. It’s just these words on paper. It won’t change how I feel. But I love him and this celebration I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. I feel as though there are more moments to treasure with him in our future. That’s how he makes me feel.

Julio cries.

Kano

Julio don’t cry. You’ll mess up your garms and fabric. It might make me cry too. Julio. You’ve got a good one there. Love conquers all. But Julio. Do you think the marriage proposal is rushed? I’m asking you this as your best man.

Julio

No. I know how I feel and life is too short. Look what happened ten months ago. I can’t just let him go and I’ve lost too much. He makes me happy and brings out the best out of me. He loves me and that’s what I need.

Sionne

Kano. He knows what he wants. Let him be.

Elle

They are so in love and it’s his day.

Sionne

Julio. Are you in love with him?

Julio

Yes.

Sionne

Marry him.

Kano

Julio. Are you ready? Cause the car is here.

Julio

I’m ready. Let’s go and celebrate my love.

Julio and his friends get in the car and go.

Romeo gets there and finds nobody there.

Romeo calls Julio’s phone. It’s off.

Next scene

Julio, his best man, bridesmaids and friends get out of the car.

Julio

I’ve waited so long for this day.

Rowan

Julio. Take your time. We all got so drunk the night before.

Kano

Haha. And more at the reception later.

Rowan

Julio. I wish you the best. I want you to be happy.

Next scene

Sam and Josh are in the church at the altar waiting for Julio to arrive.

Josh

You’re here. Julio’s in love with you. Don’t let him go. You are the luckiest guy. If I weren’t with Sionne, you’re best man and straight I’d get with him.

Sam

I’m gonna tell him how much I am in love with him and I can’t wait to share the rest of my life with him.

Sam pauses.

Sam

Me and him. He’s the future and I ain’t looking back.

Next Scene

Julio is about to walk in the church but is stopped by Romeo.

Romeo

Julio.

Julio

Romeo what do you want? You’re here at my wedding day. The best day of my life.

Romeo

I’m so sorry Julio. I’m not here to cause trouble. But I have to tell you.

Julio

Shut up. Romeo. I’ve had enough of you. You want me. You love me. You want to marry me. You don’t. You hate me. You leave me. You can’t make up your mind.

Romeo

I still love you. That won’t change. All the things we have been through. It seemed like it was over for us and that we had enough drama in our lives.

Julio

No Romeo. We’re finished. You left us behind when you left and got with him. He’s better than me for you and I see it now. I’m just not good enough for you. You don’t love me. You can’t love.

Romeo

Me and Warren are over. He’s not like you. We’ve been through so much together. The things we’ve shared. Our bond is like no other.

Julio

Why do you do this? You don't even like me or respect me enough. Like I said. You can’t love and you’ll never feel the emotion of never finding any other man that loves you quite like me. This is my day. Mine. With the people I love and who love me. You’re not one of them. You’re not even a guy that I bump into from time to time and say hi and don’t even know that person. You’re nothing to me.

Romeo

Julio. You’re marrying him for the wrong reasons. Yeah. You’ve known him a long time. But you haven’t been with him for that long and you want to marry him. Did you propose? Or what. He did.

Julio

Why does that matter? I love him and he loves me. He loves me so much more than all the people you’ve met in your life.

Romeo

Do you love him? Do you love him more than me? Can he give you true love? Unconditional love? Can he replace or make better moments than me?

Julio is silent and he gives Romeo no answer.

Romeo

Look at me. Does he make you feel like I do? Okay. You’ll marry him. But will you be happy? Will you live the most vibrant life? Or will you fade and become as boring as he is? And when or if you do. You’ll think about me and you’ll wonder what could have been.

Julio is silent and looks deeply into Romeo’s eyes.

Julio

I love you. But I can’t keep getting with you and breaking up with you. I mean you just leaving me in the cold. I don’t know if you push me away or you can’t love or you’re just straight up cold. I don’t know what you want from me anymore. We should just say goodbye once and for all and never look back.

Julio’s friends walk in.

Rowan

Julio. Are you ready to walk in the room of your celebration?

Julio

Yes I am. It’s my day, that’s the guy I am in love with and I won’t let him go. He loves me and there is nowhere else I want to be. He knows how to love and that’s all I need from him.

Rowan

Is Romeo bothering you?

Julio

No.

Romeo

What. You are good. I’ll give you that. You lied to me when I asked you if you knew where Julio was. Why would you do that? Trying to control Julio’s love life. Can’t Julio make up his own mind?

Julio steps in.

Julio

Romeo stop it. You’re trying to ruin my big day. I won’t let you. Rowan is my friend and he has my best interests at heart and you’re an even bigger liar than he is. He knows how much I love you. I mean did love you and how you left me and broke my heart.

Romeo

Why did you lie to me Rowan? After everything we been through. You know how bad the last year has been for us.

Julio

It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t love you Romeo. It’s over between us. We are finished for good. I've made up my mind. I have a room full of people waiting for me and to witness me celebrate my love with Sam. Leave me alone Romeo.

Romeo

Lie to yourself and all those people. But you can’t love him like you still love me. You’re getting married in a church. It’s the opposite of what you stand for. Who you are. You don’t need your name written on some expensive paper to enlighten how much you love somebody. You just treasure that person in your heart anyway. You don’t need all these accessories and things. That’s not who you are. I know you. I know who you are. He doesn’t. He might say all the right things but you will never sincerely or honestly love him. You’re not connected with him like you are with me. He won’t give you that feeling of love. Like our love.

Julio

I can’t love you. It’s unbearable to love you. We’ll just break up in five months or a year. I give it a year and you’ll get bored of me. I don’t want to fall back in love with you again Romeo.

Julio and Romeo glare at each other.

Julio

Let’s go. I have nothing to say but my vows of love for Sam. I want his marriage, honesty, commitment, friendship, loyalty and longevity.

Julio

Let me go Romeo. Let me move on.

Julio walks into the church with his bridesmaids, friends and best man.

Next scene

Julio, his best man, bridesmaids and his friends are about to enter the church.

Rowan

You okay.

Julio

I want to marry the guy I love with the people I love with me.

Rowan

Right. Let’s go then. Sam is waiting.

Next scene

Julio opens the door and everybody in the church turns around. Julio, his best man, bridesmaids and friends walk up to the altar.

Josh

You are so lucky. Like I said if I wasn’t married.

Sam laughs.

A violin plays as Julio walks up to the altar. Julio walks up to his groom. Sam whispers to Julio.

Sam

We made it.

Julio

At last. I’ve waited for this moment so long. I’m blessed and honoured to be here with you Sam.

The father speaks and calls for everybody in the church to stand.

Father

Sam and Julio have decided to say they’re own wedding vows in love for one another.

Sam says his vows. Julio says his vows. He says them but fluffs his lines and changes part of it. Sam looks at him funny as he knows that’s not his vows as they both shown each other they’re vows before the wedding.

Julio

I can’t do this. Sam I love you so much and how you made me feel over the last year as a friend and a lover. You have lifted me and mended me. Words can’t describe how much I love you. Every moment with you has been amazing and I’ve been glad to have shared many wonderful moments with you. Every minute I spend with you I get to know you more. We’ve grown so much and we get stronger each day. But it’s Romeo. I can’t let him stay in my past. I need him in my life. Now. In this present day and in the future. However long I live. He has to have a place in my life. Maybe I’m stupid for feeling something for him thinking that he will change but I still love him. I have to share the rest of my life with him. I’m so sorry Sam. This was meant to be our day but then I see Romeo and I know he’s the man I want to be with for the rest of my life. I can’t marry you.

Julio walks out of the church. Julio’s best man, bridesmaids and friends walk out and follow him.

Rowan

Julio. What are you doing? You’re walking out on love. The guy that really loves you. Romeo doesn’t love you. Did you think Sam was second best? Romeo is bad. Sam isn’t. He can support you. A guy like that doesn’t know how to love.

Julio

We’ve had it hard this year and the last. He’s changed.

Rowan

No he hasn’t. If you think that you are out of your mind. Yeah. You’ll get back with him and what in a year it’s over and he’s on to the next lover like the last time. He doesn’t love. Why am I saying love? He doesn’t even like you. He can’t stand you. He can’t take you because he’s heartless. He can’t even face you and your fiancé in the church. He wasn’t there to save you. You walked out from an honest guy that loves you and for what. Where is he? I’ll tell you where he is. He’s fucking a man or a woman. He's probably so drunk he can’t tell. Julio. You’re nothing to him. You’re forgettable to him. When are you going to see that? If you’re smart you’ll go back in there and marry that man. That good, decent, hardworking man and celebrate the start to the life you deserve. Happiness you deserve.

Julio

I can’t Rowan. I love Romeo. I have to take this risk. If I don’t I’ll be in regret.

Julio walks away.

Next scene

Romeo is in his house packing his bag and is getting ready to leave. Julio knocks on Romeo’s door. Romeo doesn’t answer. Julio shouts.

Julio

Romeo I know you’re in there. Let me in.

Romeo presses the buzzer to let Julio in. Julio goes inside and they talk.

Julio

Romeo I’m sorry. What I said to you earlier was just words. I love you so much. You know how much I do. We’ve been through so much in the last year. It’s changed us. But it’s made us better. Romeo. If you take me back. This time we just have to talk. Tell me what you’re thinking.

Romeo

I’m leaving now. I have got to get out of here. Do you want to come with me?

Julio laughs.

Julio

Yes. Where are you going to go?

Romeo

To a mate’s house out of town.

Romeo

Julio. I’m sorry. You don’t know what this means to me. I’ll never stop loving you. It’s us from now on. You and me.

Julio and Romeo kiss.

Next scene

Julio and Romeo go to Julio and Sam’s house. They pack up Julio’s things and Sam shows up.

Sam

Julio.

Julio

Sam.

Sam

How are you?

Julio

I’m okay.

Sam

So what. You take like an hour to get to the church and when you get there you walk out on me.

Julio

Sam. I’m sorry. I never intended this to happen.

Sam

You embarrassed me in front of everybody. How could you? You're my fiance. Don't you love me? What's changed for you to decide to leave me? Don't let him get between us Julio. Don't let him do this to you.

Romeo

Julio just wants to get his things and go. We’ll come back for the rest.

Sam

Comeback. I’ll chuck everything out the window. Or recycle it. Or send it to a charity.

Julio

Come on Sam. Just let me get my things and leave and I expect everything in order when I get back.

Sam grabs Julio, Romeo interrupts and Sam hits Romeo. Romeo gets up and hits Sam back. Julio breaks it up.

Julio

It’s over between us Sam. Just let me get what I need and go. Leave us be.

Sam

Do you love him?

Julio

I do.

Julio and Romeo leave.

Next scene

It’s the year after and a flashback is shown of what Romeo and Julio have done in that year. Going out, social, holidays, work and finally Romeo’s wedding proposal to Julio.

Next scene

Romeo and Julio are in a cottage with they’re family and friends.

Julio/Romeo

I do.

They kiss and flowers and petals fall from the roof of the cottage. They’re family and friends walk up to them in they’re celebration. Sionne and Elle talk.

Sionne

They’ve been through so much but they made it. They are so much stronger than they think they are.

Elle

If anybody deserves to be happy it’s them.

Josh joins in the conversation.

Josh

Had they’re ups and downs and are still together.

Sionne kisses Josh.

Next scene

Romeo and Julio leave the wedding reception and get in to they’re car.

Romeo

It’s our day.

Julio

Yes it is. You're my husband Romeo. I love you.

Julio kisses Romeo.

THE END

Reg Perfect (I should let you go)

Reg Perfect 

I should let you go

1^ST Verse

I had a reminder yesterday

What someone said

Taken it back to me and you

Telling me I should stand back

Let you go on

You need to move on

Our love is at stake

I’ll do whatever it takes

We gotta make amends

But it depends

If you think we can go further

Do you still love me?

Cause you’re telling me

Chorus

I should let you go

I should let you go

I should let you go

Let you go, let you go

Don't give up on your dreams

This artwork is a response to an artist who made a postcard telling somebody to give up on his/her unrealistic dreams. I came up with the idea of saying Don’t give up on your dreams.

Hectic schedule

This project was where I was asked to make a response to the brief as to why I haven’t given in any work to my tutor. It would be because I have a hectic schedule. I had other things to do and I wouldn’t of been able to get the work done in time.

Idea of a dress

This is a design idea of a dress I would have designed for a competition about gender equality. After reading the brief it was about woman’s struggle and fight for independence. So I came up with many ideas, but the dress fitted this project best. The dress would be of the colours red, pink and orange. It would have loads of photos and posters about the issue of gender equality. All the designs would be printed in the colours I mentioned and would all be stitched together to form the dress.

Jonti

I have made the mock up of a T-shirt design for the musician Jonti. My inspiration behind this design would be my interpretation of music. How music can be listened by large audiences, how a musician goes around the world on tour and how so many copies of CDs are designed.

Global issues of the world

I have entered a competition on the issue of global issues, I made loads of designs and put them together like a collage. After reading the brief, I came up with ideas concerning the theme of global issues, work that reflects today's global environment. This competition is by voting and I really need your votes. If you would like to vote for me and the design, go on www.talenthouse.com/leoa and click 'SUPPORT LEO'. I worked hard on this and it would mean the world to me. Your votes count. Votes open tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th of January and finish on Monday the 30th of January. On my page you can also leave a comment about the work.
