Demo Reel

I came across this demo reel of motion graphics and thought it was really playful and interesting and a great example of their creativity..

Village Green

Village Green is a design studio and workshop set up by Seb Marling (Blue Source) and Jonathon Cooke (Love). It works across Print, interactive media and moving image. Some of the work i have been familiar with has mainly been their album covers but as i have looked into them further i have really enjoyed their illustrative style.

I also came across a series of posters done for FABRIC a club in London, i love the abstractness of the pictures and the surreal image it gives. I think they are both eye catching and thought provoking.

While looking on their website i came across some stills and an

animation done for Becks Fusions. I think the animation is great

and the cut and paste style of the stills is brilliant. It has made

me interested in how i could incorporate still Graphics work with

moving image.

JP Winter (Very Studio)

From my placement at STEEL I was able to pick up a few contacts. JP at Very Studio was one of them:

Jon Furse (STEEL)

After my time at STEEL I took the opportunity to contact some of the people I had been working with for contacts for further placement places.

Boxed Water Is Better

As part of our new project i have been looking at how water affects society, during my research i came across 'boxed water is better' which is part water company part art project. Born out of the simple idea to sell water in a different way thats better cost effective to not only people but society.

True North

Today Mike Rigby from True North came and gave us a lecture, he mainly talked through his process of doing Graphic Design at university, to how he got his first job and the journey to where he is today. He began by talking through the structure of a design studio explaining the job roles of Art Director down to Junior Designer, which was great to understand the different authority each post holds. The advice he gave throughout the presentation concerning how to get placements or your first job echoed similar points by our tutors covering the need to be enthusiastic, passionate and willing when around professionals. He spoke about how important it was to take profession and pride with everything that you do and always believe in your own ability as a designer. He gave us a great insight into what to expect to be paid when we start our first job as a junior and the importance of the first few years. After spending 4 years at the Chase he then went traveling round the world spending time in several different countries, he said it was important to allow yourself a break. On his travels he ended up working in Australia and highly recommended working abroad and not to language be a barrier.
