Unique New York

I have just got back from 5 incredible days in New York.... Just about over the let jag, heres some highlights:

Screen Fiends

Screen Fiends is an event we have organised to help fundraise for our degree show- It is all very exciting! With live silk screen printing, live illustration, music and drinks and bits and bobs for sale made by our peers we hope to make enough to fund our catalogue and promotional items which have been beautifully designed by 3 lads in our year.

Indian Book covers

I am currently working on a project to design book covers for Alice in Wonderland and Perfume and came across these beautiful covers while doing my research. They date from 1964 to 1984. I think the consideration for composition and colour schemes work wonderfully, and will definitely inspire my approach.

MEATBALLS!

I am currently working on a D&AD project to promote the new IKEA catalogue so I dragged my housemates along to the store for some inspiration and meatballs.

Noah Harris Lecture

This week Noah Harris, graphic designer responsible for the recent E4 idents, Talk Talk ads amongst others came to NTU to give a talk about his achievements, experiences and inspirations. I found him very inspiring and he has achieved a great deal working independently winning massive contracts with E4, Ford, Talk Talk, X Factor.... I had no idea that his work was created, in the majority, for real only using CGI for elements which wouldn't be possible any other way - extremely relevant to my dissertation which I am battling with at the mo! Was also really interesting to see images which he gained his inspiration from.
