A few photo’s I took at Mad River. They had a lovely little design studio with some quirky features which really made Mad River feel like a welcoming and fun studio to work in. It was very unlike a typical office environment you would imagine.

The Pixel Breaker Polar Clock is a screensaver for Mac’s, it shows the date in time in a circular form. The separate “sections” (bars) of the circle extend full-circle as time passes. I found this at the beginning of my unit and in the end my image outcomes looked quite similar to this! The main thing different to mine is that I had a separate colour to represent AM and a different colour for PM, but it was a great image to look at as a strating point to plan out my designers typical daily structure.

Found this artist Samuel Granados a few weeks ago. He creates interesting ways of presenting information, using Lego to create 3D Infographic Maps displaying the amount of emigrants & immigrants in certain zones. What I like most about his work is that it isn’t a flat piece. It’s 3d and stands out from the paper. Some pieces of the lego stand further away from the paper to represent a higher figure. It is visually pleasing because it looks like the kind of work you want to touch and play with the lego pieces.  

As I was basing my article more along the lines of infographics, an artists’ work that I found interesting was Katie Lewis’. She collects data through daily documentation using pins, pencils and threads. Her work is rather impressive. Looking at how Katie has produced her work made me think how many different visual ways you can produce infographic information.

Type Spec for a double page in my article.

After a talk with Mireille fauchon today she recommend this colour scheme for my article. I’m not sure if the purple and turquoise colours are too striking for one another but i’ll stick with them for now. At the crit yesterday my tutors made a point of keeping to only a few colours to keep the theme consistent. I have remove the gradience and drop shadows from the images and kept to no more than two font styles for the type. I think my final page looks better but there is still room for improvement before I get it printed and bound.   

Print screened my first magazine article draft. The pages look quite blurry and pixelated from the screen shots but it shows my general layout of the article. I struggled to make the whole interview fit so had to add another double page but all in all I think it looks good. There are a few little things I need changing and not 100% sure on the colour choice but I can ask my tutors tomorrow or Wednesday and play around with the design to improve upon it.  

Two of my images with quotes I created for my article. I still have one or two more to do and a final one which has all the sections of the ‘time’ infographic images put together which will be on the last page on a double page spread.

We created our own type spec magazine page today at uni just so we could experiment with Indesign and page formats/layouts. 

Don’t know if i’ll stick with my coffee idea but some lovely images by Yani Arabena & Guille Vizzari. Some cute little illustrations and typography.
