Head over to the new design blog <a href="http://yviemarie.blogspot.com/">here</a>Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-18928488894085932052011-03-18T08:53:00.000+00:002011-03-18T08:53:16.453+00:00Moving blogI'm moving my blog to a new home!<br />
<br />
<br />
In class we were talking about setting up an online presence for ourselves as designers, and how important it is to be consistant. <a href="http://www.dubdog.co.uk/">Nigel</a> said that he wished that he bought www.nigelball.com (his name) when it was available to purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love my name. I love the weirdness of it's spelling, I love that I have 2 double-barrels. I even love that I'm at the other end of the alphabet. So...all my design work will be moving over to <a href="http://yviemarie.blogspot.com/">Yviemarie</a>. I must admit I like the idea of having a studio name, but what can be more <span style="font-size: x-small;">ME</span> than this? I hope that there will be projects and collaborations on the cards soon, but I'm going to focus on showing more of <span style="font-size: x-small;">ME</span> and my work...although the redesigning will happen later after deadlines!<br />

A little while ago we had some posters up in the studio done by the 3rd years. <i>Things I wish I knew </i>was a project to give advice to the 1st year design students.<br />

I stumbled on this while looking up designs to add to my <em>Advanced Design Practice</em> module. It's something that should be documented and sat in wonder at.<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles3/100689/projects/246833/1006891258742331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" class="lazy-load" height="640" jquery1296820219789="109" loaded="true" original="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles3/100689/projects/246833/1006891258742331.jpg" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles3/100689/projects/246833/1006891258742331.jpg" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; display: block; zoom: 1;" width="451" /></a></div><br />

This alphabet designed by Stuart Whitton is a great way of using found objects to make your own type. Granted you see this alot. What makes this stand out is that it is infact pencil drawings of said found objects. Painstaking genious.<br />

This is a pattern made from my fingerprint made using a differnet way of creating seamless patterns. It is easier to place your imagery, but harder to know how it will look once tiled. I lvoe the idea, colour and style of this...but I think I would prefer the pattern to be more abstract. You can see the repeat too easily.<br />
<br />
Look at me keeping up with the pace! I must admit, I'm thinking about the next day's drawing and it's distracting me from researching homework.Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-83963870295126747492011-01-28T11:00:00.000+00:002011-01-28T11:00:07.286+00:00Day 27Project 365, Day 27 is <span style="font-size: x-small;">LISTEN</span><br />

This is another Pokemon, who looks the same as the Plusle but different colours and symbol. As in plus and minus. Clever. So what did i do? A co-ordinating pattern! I don't know why, but the pattern looks Christmassy to me...I will have to try this one out in blue/white/silver and red/white/green.Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-41867800412913146542011-01-27T14:06:00.000+00:002011-01-27T14:06:37.736+00:00Day 25Project 365, Day 25 is <span style="font-size: x-small;">PLUSLE</span><br />

I was stumped on what to do until I got the idea of using the symbol and colour scheme that represents said creature to create a pattern. I love ogees (the pinchy-oval shape), and after making a base shape in Illustrator (there must be an easier way - tutorials here I come), I basically filled in the gaps.Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-15718099124237488632011-01-27T14:02:00.000+00:002011-01-27T14:02:18.234+00:00Day 24Project 365, Day 24 is <span style="font-size: x-small;">BANANA</span><br />

This was a break from the concentration of pattern making in Illustrator, of which I still do not have the hang of, and served as a test to see if I could draw in Illustrator as I am used to doing in Photoshop. I really DO need to get comfortable with this program. I know all of the benefits, but I supposed in a way I have higher expectations of what I want to do, than I can actually do right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I like the idea - using just a geometric shape to try to represent the subject, I just think I rushed and put down any colours/layout I could on my laptop before I went to bed. Heh. I do have a couple of further ideas now that I can develop later to make it look more like packaging for wine rather than an ugly wallpaper border.</span></span><br />

That's not a typo. Daily designing is alot harder than you might think. It would help if the person choosing the themes would upload in the morning rather than late at night. <br />

Hopefully this will widen my vision for design-related works and gives me a chance to work on creating patterns. This is a part of commercial design that I am drawn to [<span style="font-size: x-small;">I HAVE JUST ORDERED MY THIRD PATTERN-RELATED DESIGN BOOK</span>], though I haven't created much myself. I repeat things when I doodle, but I think the only complete pattern I have made was for a Tigerprint competition last year. Here is the first of many patterns of 2011.<br />

I'm bad at setting myself projects you see.

Last week was the official start of term, but we were still dealing with hand-in for the lasts emseter, so I didn't really count that week. Now it's all new and shiney...and the sun is out. Great start to the year!<br />
<br />
<br />
We have three new classes, <em>Advanced Design Practice</em>, which is currently dealing with contemporary design. This means all my blog stalking will come in handy. <em>Graphic Identity</em> which I am anxious about as I am not a logo designer in any sense of the word, and <em>Negotiated Project</em> which I am very excited about.<br />
<br />
I am exploring the concept of The Book, and I must admit I thought perhaps it was too big an idea for me to get my head around, but while explaining to Mum on the phone about it, I got all excited and went straight for the computer to research. Can't be a better sign for being on the right track really?Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-45648026227950599532011-01-02T19:38:00.000+00:002011-01-02T19:38:05.248+00:00Twenty Eleven<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="312" id="il_fi" src="http://www.malaysiasite.nl/images/konijn.gif" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="304" /></div><br />

2011 is the year of the Rabbit [<span style="font-size: x-small;">IT'S NOT CHINESE NEW YEAR YET BUT ANYWAY...]</span> which is my year!<br />
<br />
I should be really lucky this year, and I must say I have <span style="font-size: x-small;">LOTS</span> of things planned for the coming months. Including [<span style="font-size: x-small;">IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER</span>] moving home, a new job, beginning the last year of my degree, a new blog revamp and the set up of a little online design shop.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited to start...though I don't count this year as starting until I'm back at uni on the 4th.<br />
<br />
So to all you fellow Rabbits out there <span style="font-size: x-small;">HAVE A GREAT YEAR</span>, and to everyone else, I'm sure yours will be fab too :)Yviemariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04767814695942710032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005629120541476405.post-69783687953409546962010-12-20T12:46:00.000+00:002010-12-20T12:46:07.612+00:00Work(over)load<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I have finally organised myself in regards to the work I need to complete for January 4th.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
