Foody design

I love food.
I love design.



Things like this make me smile.

One day I WILL create some edible design.

I quite like the look of this font.
So do these guys.
Great stuff.

Dear Typography

We're looking alot at Typography this semester, with two classes involving it at the moment. This is something I didn't know about, or was really bothered about it. I am a changed girl. I always knew it was a fundamental part of Graphic Design [DOY] but what I didn't realise was that there are alot of interesting things that come with it.

And I've noticed that I'm noticing more typography in life! Love this by The Birds and The Beasts.

FOUND VIA DESIGN IS MINE BLOG

Justice Served

One part of our Ideas Generation project, and Type as Image for that matter, is to create a video animation as a type of advertisment for what we have created

I don't know about the other students, but I am NOT an animation kind of girl. I dropped it at ND for textiles. So naturally, I was freaking out. STILL AM A LITTLE BIT

Then I played this video and had a few ideas of what I could do...possibly.


Turning into a Twit...

I don't really get Twitter.
I have had no interest in reading the random [SORRY, ERM POINTLESS] ramblings of bored students and office employees, however, I have found a very interesting one.

This is the Twitter-feed-thing [HEH] of Jim Balakshin who won last year's Rethink Scholarship, which I blogged about in my last post.

I think perhaps it's because it relates to me as a designer that I appreciate this Twitter, or maybe because I have a very-quickly-developing-into-obsessive fascination with art blogs. More likely, it's due to the fact the Graphic Design is still new to me, and I am loving finding out more about it.

Who are your favourites designers or designs?

Design Inspiration

Found this video via a new blog by a fellow Print and Pattern reader, Amanda Lincoln.

It is perfect inspiration for all designers, and aswell as being a source of inspiration, it's one of those things you just have to have on your bookshelf [ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK ITS AVAILABLE TO BUY]


Rethink Scholarship at Langara 2010 Call for Entries from Rory O'Sullivan and Simon Bruyn on Vimeo.

It makes me think of the ABC pop-up book I actually got the chance to look through, thanks to Lindsay, and our Manifesto Project.

Mother's Day Typography

I didn't enter this competition from the guys at Tigerprint, I think I need a bit more practise with type...however the deadline is midnight tonight and I have my favs!

Happy Egg Weekend

This is one of my favourite times of year...along with Halloween and Christmas [ARE THERE ANY OTHER HOLIDAYS ANYWAY?] I spent last wekkedn with Mum looking through her Spring Ideal Home magazines. Everything is fresh and colourful and HAPPY!
