- A Typographic Trip
Robin Mitchell, our Advanced Print & Typography instructor, set up a class field trip to Hemlock printers.
We had a great tour of the main plant, and the neighboring Hemlock express plant. Robin’s Print Rep, Eric Kouwenhoven, brought us around the plant and explained the sections, and processes that happen behind the scenes. Before you are […]
- A VERY Interesting Class
We had a class this morning with Dougal Muir, who will be our external examiner of our final projects.
He came in for an Art Direction class, and we got a really good chance to sit and chat about what he will be looking for in our projects when we present to him in one month. […]

- Helvetica: A documentary film by Gary Hustwit
I went to see the Helvetica documentary last night with some people from school. VFS was one of the sponsors for the viewing in Vancouver. It was really well done, and very interesting.
It wasn’t a skewed look at how great Helvetica is, though there was some of that of course. But we got a chance […]
- Thumbtacks
For my 3D final I have decided to model something that is a simple shape, and focus on the texture, lighting and composition of my piece.
I took a thumbtack from the corkboard beside my desk and took a first shot at it. Kalvin helped me with the texture by adding bump map, and getting the […]
