Old Universal Pictures logo

Hey Sarah... the aesthetic here is spot on I reckon. I had thought the plane pulled a banner around the globe that had the words on it? I can't find it like that but I'm sure I've seen it? So yeah the type's not quite right for you, but the rest of it looks very DDR to me...

Drumskin

Just wanting a few opinions on my new design, still need to do much more technical work once I actually chose one, but need a starting point so I can get into it!

Information graphic

I have left my latest information graphic idea on my desk with descriptions of each of the colours indicated in the key. When you are in class please have a look and let me know what you think by either commenting on this blog or writing me a note and placing it on my desk or pining it next to my final drum skin design. (Have a look at that too please :D)

Cheers guys!!!!

Before & After Science

This is my friend Stuart Geddes blog Before & After Science. He's a Melbourne based graphic designer doing some interesting things, esp in relation to our client-based/self-motivated discussion. It's all images, but you get a sense of what he's up to...

nerd kitsch

I get the feeling that we don't use the blog enough, so from now on I'm going to encourage that as well as posting ideas, we post stuff just for lolz. This may be annoying or hey, you might check out the blog at 1am and die laughing because you just saw something tOtEZ funny (as well as some relevant design stuff also).

Starting it off with spiderman meme!

N.B this needs no explanation

Brazilian Mutants

Street fighter inspired art by Jorge Gutierrez.

According to his bio, Jorge was raised by Mexican wrestlers and learned his manly art skills after being blessed by tequila BUT the point of interest here is that he draws Blanka. Thought you'd find these interesting, particularly you Thomas, as they're an example of what happens if you play street fighter throughout all of your childhood/early adult life and they could be some nice inspiration for your infographic. The images I found are the most topical and the rest of his stuff is quite cartoony/mexican but check it out if you want to http://www.super-macho.com/ .

New designs

I haven't showed Luke these designs yet but I thought I would show you guys to see if you have any thoughts. Comments will be greatly appreciated :D

breakfast

Good news, we don't need to bring any cooking or cleaning things to camp! So that means we don't have to find tea-towels or pans or dish-washing liquid etc. All we need now is ingredients for pancakes and a couple of toppings : ) : ) Shall we talk to the fourth years about a budget on Tuesday morning?

Slight Issue

Turns out the girl who's desk we took from by the window wants to access her drawers.. we now have to come up with a new set up.

I changed my mind.

I don't want to be chief breakfast coordinater anymore. I'm not sure why I said I would in the first place. Can't someone else do it? Please.?.

Book binding classes

Glenn from photography just popped into design while some of you were at the japanese art lecture and told me to pass on the message about a Book binding workshop. It is next week on Monday and Tuesday (9th-10th May) starting at 9:00am going to 4:00pm (with a lunch break don't worry) :)

If you have lectures on monday or tuesday you can still come just excuse yourself when you need to.

Glen didn't give me the name of the lady teaching it but he said that she will teach us how to bind books using different materials. We can bring our own materials that we might want to bind too! I don't know too much else about it but it sounds pretty cool! It could come in handy...

He said that he would pop in at around 2 today to hopefully catch some of you but by then I will be at my lecture so i thought i would pass on the message!
