Dig Dig Dig

Here are a couple of articles I have have helped on for Dig BMX magazine over the last couple of issues, I will stick them on my work page soon but I am currently re-designing my site so its all new and swish looking. In the meantime look at the stuff below...

Sorry for the lack of updates....

Well... I have been a busy boy as of late and unfortunately the boring stuff to fun ratio has been firmly on the boring stuff side, mainly because I have had my dissertation to get done, the deadline is tomorrow but I have literally just finished it this second, BOOYEAHH! and I thought I would update my website and put all the interesting stuff that I been up to over the last couple of months.


First things first, I have been asked to film for a video called "one more brew" the basic concept behind the video is this... "A video project aimed at bringing together the UK scene over the dismal winter months. With the weather being nearly impossible to predict two hours in advance let alone two months we have asked 10 UK based filmer's to put together a 5 minute video section documenting how they have batted through the Winter" so I am one one of the filmers for this video and the deadline was yesterday so I have had to do that, I cannot show you the video obviously because it is going to be released on a dvd and I dont want to ruin the surprise, But I can show you a screen shot of the titles I designed for it, have a look,




The basic concept behind them is that the man in in the corner is Ls6bmx's ident and the graphic containing there names appears on the index page of www.ls6bmx.co.uk so I tried to keep it the same as I wanted maintain the identity of ls6bmx. Oh and before I forget the is a "One More Brew" website that you can visit by clicking here, also if you are wondering about the image at the top of this post, all the filmers were asked to send in a photo of them holding a cup of tea for there fimers profile page on the website, so I decided to do something a little more light hearted and fun rather than me just stood there holding a cup of tea, the photo was taken by my new photo taking, burglar chasing housemate, Liam Oakes, (thanks for that)

Right I am going into college to bind my mother-flipping Dissertation, I will update more when I get back.

Red

I found out about a camera system known as "Red" today and Its one of the first digital video cameras that has quality which can be compared to that of the 35mm cinematic world which is pretty mental. It has high speed recording, amazing colour reproduction and the ability to be able to put on just about any lens you need for the job the red modular camera system seems pretty mint if you ask me, I also came across a skate video filmed with this mad high tech camera check it out.... oh and check it out in full HD quality here

My house mate has spent the best part of a year talking about getting his website sorted and has even made four prior to finally making this one and it looks real nice so go and check it out...

College flyer idea

Here are a couple of ideas for the exhibition flyers, what do you think?

And another...

This is what it may look like with different copy and I have changed the shape of the line...

Istd pull out idea

Here is an idea of how one of the possible pullouts may look, It still needs to be furthered as I do not feel it looks exciting enough yet but I am considering using the same layout throughout but changing the pattern of the colored line on each page to mix things up a bit.

ISTD Idea furthered

Here I have furthered the layout of my ISTD idea. Each colored line is going to lead from the subject to a tag t the side of the page which you can pull out and there will be a card telling you the ten things you should know about that particular subject.

ISTD Competition

Heres a rough Idea I have for the ISTD typography competition, I have decided to enter the 10 things you should know about brief... in which you have to choose a subject (I have chosen science) and then have 10 subsections about that subject in which each subsection has 10 facts about it, I am thinking of having a long landscape page and you can pull out each section and it has a mini book regarding the 10 facts, what do you think? good Idea or bad... heres my rough idea of layout ....

P.S...the text is just jibberish

C.V time...

I was speaking to a friend of mine from back home the other day and he asked me to have a look at his c.v and see if I could lay it out nicely in order to make it more eye catching to potential employers so I did. I decided to keep it simple and professional looking as he is going to be applying for office jobs.

popdeck

I decided o have a go at the competition over on Popdeck basically its to design a skateboard deck and if you win you get $200 and they will make your design into a real deck...good times,
so below you have my initial idea and underneath that you have the end product check them out...




Also don't for get to go over to www.popdeck.com and vote for my design... cheers

Liverpool Design Symposium

So, Myself and a few others headed over to Liverpool yesterday for the Liverpool Design Symposium. The first talk we went to see was entitled "The Emotional Type" by Bruno Maag who is the founder of Dalton Maag who specialize in font and logo design for leading brands, heres a few examples of there work below....



I found the talk very interesting and he clearly has a very meticulous and precise approach towards typographic design.

On the other hand the second talk by Matt Pyke from Universal Everything was completely different in every way. For starters his Design studio isn't your regular studio, in fact he runs it from his garden shed and has little face time with his employees, he even directed a music video via i-chat, he is definitely pushing and challenging how designers work and the concept of a design studio, Anyway heres a couple of examples of his work....
