Deadline

So I know I haven't posted for a while—the end of semester has seen to me in a big way and I've been enjoying some time off from all things design. Tomorrow, though, is another day! Folios are due for collection, which means grades, hopes dashed or created and also Transformers. And a return to designing things. Come back Thursday for a look at what I've been doing.
Hopefully this video will make up for my posting tardiness. Bonus points for picking who the music is by.

Last Week of Classes

The last week of classes has been interesting—not as stressed as I was last year, and yet have more work to do. I was part of a group show at uni that was organised by the most affable Tristan Main. Tristan gave us a phrase—"Typography Is..."—and asked us to respond with a single word on an A0 black and white poster. Here's the low quality iPhone photo: I also finished off a subject at uni with a mock presentation. It involved creating a studio brand identity. The chosen name was Studio Mongoose, and my initial approach was to create an identity that simply had a mongoose as it's image. While I was doing my research, however, I found that they move in a very particular way while hunting, and so I attempted to recreate that sense of movement and speed. Following on from that, the presentation required a series of slide titles, which I created following the branding guidelines set out for Mongoose. They were nice enough to create a background of, so here we go—Motivational Desktop Background: So there we go. Enjoy!
