Designers Awards 09

This is the National Design Metalworks 2009. Some of the winners of this I think should be shown on my Blog. To see where the Ideas are going in design. The website for this is http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/coresite/html/NMDA.asp.

Graphic Design Was Lee Bamforth

2D Illustration Was Barton Damer

Character Design Was Aaron Atchison

These are only A few But these three are the main ones that speak to me. For the future of design, it shows how we are going forward and the great ideas still coming to the Public View.

Art Inspiration

Looking at Art Inspiring you there's a Few designers I've been looking at Emily Aliston. There's also Tim Bradford. Then a Studio Called BLUP UK I Love the look of this website smooth and easy to navigate.

Some more images looking at text and type and how its possible to edit them in Illustrator.

Glyphs

This is just some of the work that Im doing at the moment. Its a Start when I looked at Text and type and the editing possibilities of Illustrator.

Letter Press

Well I finally did it Print Press. And it was awesome a true hands on approach to type. The smell and feel of designing. Nothing computer based about this. you can see on my photos with Flickr what I did and how they came out Pics

Flickr

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Type And Tape

Starting at 12:00 I got to design type out of tape. the basis of this was to go out in the world and design fonts with just tape. Really enjoyable to get doing this even if it was raining. I have some of the photos of this on my Flickr page that I have now linked to this Blog. Have a look and tell me what you think.

I have recently bought two books. One being called visual signs an introduction too. and the other is Stop Stealing Sheep and learn how type works. Should hopefully help me with whats to come. There are two other books im reading, one of these is an artist called Julien Opie.

CRIT

Had the Crit today and I think it went ok. I went for the RED colour of the illustration. One of the main things that got focused on was the council house, Unfortunately this isn't what I wanted to focus on. It seemed to just get to be a bigger and bigger issue when talking about it. It was a bit too risqué supposedly. Apart from that all went well.

12th/10/2009

Just finished my Editorial illustration piece of work. not sure what colour to use.

Today has been also interesting with taking out two books about vis com and the idea of gender in media. Looked at Images and the symbiotic representation they give and show.

Went to Poole today to do more drawings and I also took a few photos. Might actually have an idea of what to do now.

I uploaded one of my designs to a competition. Its help by Umbro and this is what it looks like. Visit Here to vote for my design.

Let me know what you think of it too.

Just Starting Up!
