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.

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.

[MAKES ME WANT TO DO SOME TYPOGRAPHY]
Paper of choice
What do you like to doodle on?
Are you a lined paper person for lists and journals, a strictly sketchbook user, perhaps you like to use up the odd bits of envelopes...
I have scraps evrywhere. The afformentioned envelope tear-offs [BEFORE THEY GO INTO RECYCLING] are one of Simon's pet peeves =]
I saw this post and love the textured feel it gives the illustrations...I will have to make a notepad using my trusty tools [HEH TOOLS].
Results will come when I've done my homework!

Finger crossed!
Tigerprint Competition III
Yup, another competition. I really like doing them...it's a way of taking a break from university work, but keeping the creative flow going!
This is the Love Typography where you can design a card, but it's focus must be type as opposed to mainly illustration. I thought it interesting as typography is one of our classes this semmester...I wonder what Dave would make of my entries?
Would you buy one of these as an online personalised card?

Class doodles
I will never forget Bruce.
"Always carry a notebook"
I think I am getting used to this doodling business.
I don't have to do things perfect EVERY time.
I like it...and yes, it will probably end up as a pattern, or two. Shush.

Snail Mail
I am a BIG fan of handwritten letters. Infact, any mail gets me a little excited.
Remember when you were young and it seemed EVERYONE in the house was getting things in the post except you. You had to wait a whole year to get that stack of cards all addressed to you on your birthday.
I don't think people write enough.
Me included.
I saw this and sat down and wrote to a dear friend who lives in another part of the country.
I'm hoping to send more of my own design, but here are some of my favourite sets.
Point me in the direction of your favourites too!
