- Painting the town! (Lies update)
That’s right, we painted that town red.. and many other colors.
On Tuesday the team gathered cardboard from around the school and we started creating our little town that will be shot on bluescreen this weekend. We built the quirkiest, strange, but funky town. We managed to get some really neat shapes cut out from the […]
- ‘Lies’ Research + Moodboard
So for the past couple of days I have been sick. This gave me a chance to watch some videos for research on one of our projects.
I ended up renting Moulin Rouge, and Mirrormask to try and pick some elements, and feelings from the style thet established. Also took a look at some old tarot […]
- Font Friday
It’s that time again..Here is my font choice for today.
Avenir Next font weights
The Beautiful Stranger
Or why there´s now an Avenir Next
While Adrian Frutiger has created such famous typefaces as Univers™ or Frutiger™, another matter has remained very close to his heart – the design of his linear sans serif – the Avenir.
In 1988, the Swiss […]
- Places to check out
There are two places that I plan on checking out..that is, when money decides to become a part of my life again.
Occupied is a super cute shoppe in Gastown. It’s a store full of imported lovables, toys, kitchenwware and many shelves full of neat things. It was very hard to not take out the plastic […]
- Experiments
Our first class with Topo, we really got a chance to play, and get away from the computers.
It was really helpful and satisfying to create things with my hands. I don’t think I had done that in a long time. With the development of new technology, designers seem to rush to their computers, sit at […]
- Term 1 Interface Design
Here are some older projects that I had worked on during our Interface design course with our instructor, Gagan Diesh.
For this project we needed to take a household item and study the interface. We needed to break it down in to sections of how we saw this object functioning as an interface. How usable is […]
- Blog mention
Wow! The VFS blog made mention of some of our students in DD08!
It’s great to be able to post up my work from past terms, and current projects.. not only to share with other students, or prospective students, but also to track my own progress as a designer. It takes a lot, as a designer, […]
- Branding Term 3
In term 3 we were taught branding from Jessica Clark.
We had Jessica for our first term 2d graphics, and we all loved her classes so much.. even though ’some’ people gave her a hard time by taking countless photos of her every class. ^^
I really enjoyed her classes, and got into the final project. We […]
- Helping out fellow students
The DD09s were finishing up their term 1 short stories. Jamie Ferguson had asked me to be in her short, and of course I agreed.
Unfortunately I do not have Jamie’s cut anywhere online, but I do have her brother’s cut from youtube. Jamie did a great job of directing, and her concept was well thought […]
- Adobe Reel Ideas Studio
I have been planning on writing a post for this epic experience that was the Adobe Reel Ideas studio. Some from the team may refer to this project as hell, or the ‘yeah right, 15 hours more a week..” project, which clearly exceeded such numbers. I will try and start at the beginning.
At the start […]
