HUNGARY: TYPOGRAPHY: FANNY PAPAY
The Addiction Font is based on strange addictions, inspired by the TLC show My Crazy Obsession.
Crazy concept of typefaces inspired by TLC Show My Crazy Obsession (very cool and simple)
I love this design,so cool
This is rad! Love the style!
Reflection
GRAP2199 was one of my favourite things of my semester in Australia. It was a great learning experience. Working so much with actual materials instead of digital programmes, I was forced to get out of my comfort zone, which is something that I think is really important as a designer. (Thank you for that!) One of my favourite activities was Week 9 when we explored our collage abilities. It served me as therapy, it was so fun and relaxing!
I learned that by using different mediums you can get unexpected (and better) results than by just using the computer. I enjoyed learning about the Bauhaus because it was a groundbreaking “movement” that still has influence on modern design. Personally, I love the Bauhaus style and would love to incorporate it on future projects later on. While I was working in my AMA project I found out that I also want to develop my zine making and editorial skills, it’s something I really enjoyed doing and would love to be better at.
During the tutorials I was reminded of how important group work is, the more feedback and comments you get, the better. I want to thank Karen and Andy for making the course a great fun and learning experience. I wish I could stay longer in Australia to keep on learning new things from great people like my teachers and classmates at RMIT.
WEEK 6
This is my digital version of the shape-shifting task we did in class this week.
To create this I used Illustrator to create 3 shapes - the red quadrant circle, the green semi-circle and the orange triangle. It was just a matter of rotation and repositioning the shapes to create each letter in the same form as the ones we made as a group.
Also to add some dimension, I chucked it into Photoshop and gave some shadows and texture.
cool!
unnamed soundsculpture / embodiment of sound
This moving sound sculpture is based on the recorded motion data of a real person. For the project we asked Laura Keil, a Berlin-based dancer, to interpret a musical piece – Kreukeltape by Machinefabriek – as closely as possible with the movement of her own body. She was recorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud). We were then able to use the collected data throughout the rest of the process.
- Onformative
A perfect example of generative design. It is impressive how this studio, Onformative, explores design using different mediums and processes. They show us how design can be found anywhere and how art can be expressed using the most unexpected mix of components.

Generative Design
Generative design is a revolutionary new method of creating artwork, models and animations from sets of rules, or algorithms.
Cedric Kiefer and Julia Laub are the creators behind the book Generative Gestaltung; and founders of Onformative, a studio of digital art and design based in Berlin. Their work is focused on driving past the boundaries of design by using alternate mediums like coding, lights, music and even dancing. They explain that they deal with topics that interest them, such as scientific subjects and topics based on nature and current issues.Their process is very open and experimental, first they look at the topic and what they want to express with it and then they choose the medium to express it.
The book »Generative Gestaltung« deals with the creation of images by using codes. An image is no more created manually but through a visual idea which is translated into a set of rules and then implemented in a programming language in the form of source code. The consequence is that such a program can not only create a single image but also completely re-design visual worlds by changing the parameters.
- Onformative
The fact that Cedric and Julia studied communication design and are now the authors of a book that has become one of the key reference works on generative design inspires me as a comm design student to look beyond simple design solutions and explore more processes to express my creative ideas.

Ask Me Anything - Assignment 3 DONE!
For this Assignment, I decided to present my interview in the form of a Zine. My artist was @Screen14 who Is a UK based screen printer I’ve followed for quite some time now. Jon’s been a great influence on the way I’ve ventured into printmaking, and also into design by trying a different approach which is to create posters through silkscreens instead of digital design.
I had a love-hate relationship with this assignment, but overall it was challenging in a fun way. It was a good challenge :) Thanks again to Jon (a.k.a @screen14) for taking the time to answer my questions and allowing me to share your work.
Loved how you used typography, well done!
Task 3: Ask Me Anything
Interview w/ Jess Ruby James
“In Confidence”
Great work!!!
BAUHAUS, Stairway, Dessau, 1932
- Final Reflective Statement -
Entering this course, based on what the course would offer, some of my personal objectives were to learn how to work with materials, and to expand my general knowledge of design (the practice, the industry, history, etc). I certainly feel like I’m well more comfortable working with materials now than I first was when I entered the course, but I admit that there is still much ground to cover. However, I’ve learned many new things about design through Andy’s lectures.
It was fascinating to learn about early printing, post-modernism, and the Bauhaus “movement”. I also enjoyed the skills I picked up over the semester, like prototyping, planning, group-work, zine-making, and doing design research. The most inspiring were the concepts I’ve delved into, like design ethics and artist’s books.
I was mostly inspired by Andy & Karen throughout the course, and it was a great privilege to learn from them directly (so many lessons that couldn’t fit into less than 200 words.) Going forward, I plan on developing my zine and collaging skills, and exploring more of that intersection between art & design, which is essentially what the course has taught me so far.
—
Since it’s our last piece of assessment, I just decided to have a little fun with it. Thank to the extra free time now, I went for doodling and illustrating my reflective statement, at least to decorate this Tumblr one last time.
The sincerest thank you to Andy & Karen for conducting such fun, engaging class activities and lectures, and for making me feel excited about becoming a creative in the real world.
Cheers, everyone. x
Love the illustrations!!!!
Ask Me Anything final piece :)
After a lot of surprises, printing mistakes and improvised solutions.... the final piece is done and ready to be submitted! I had never tried to do something like this before and I am very happy with the results (specially the tracing paper details) 😊I would love to practice this type of projects (bookbinding) during my free time so I can be better in the editorial area of design.
Ask Me Anything in the making
Ask Me Anything!
I thought it would be a good idea to share the finished product of my Ask me Anything! assignment, I created a jam-packed and vibrant interactive A5 book to represent the colourful and paper filled world of Tommy Perez.
All images were taken from the Instagram page and Website of Tommy Perez, I am quite pleased with how the book turned out, the binding was by stitching in the centre of the pages and hard folding of 200 gsm paper.
Omg Lydia! Amazing work! Love the way you have utilised colour and different pop up elements. Mind glowingly awesome!
Great work!!!
WHAT THE ‘F’
Crafts, illustration, and textile design piece by graphic designer Claudia Aksha of Jakarta, Indonesia
“The name Girls Gone Wild is chosen for this zine because it resembles how radical feminists were in the past, which is out of the norm and have no fear. And this zine will fully talk about radical feminism and the impact of radical feminism in the 21st century. Girls Gone Wild Zine is a little bit different from other feminism zine because GGW Zine criticize feminism (not in a bad way). GGW Zine criticize what feminism or feminist today often to forget and missed in today’s context. GGW Zine is straightforward, sarcastic and out of the feminist norm. GGW Zine is still a feminist zine, just in a different way.
The materials chosen for this zine is very unconventional, it’s not like how zine is normally produced. The reason behind it is because I wanted to discusses radical feminism in a radical way which is going outside the norm of how a zine should be.”
This embroided zine is absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately I think the time constraints for this project may limit my ability to construct something embroided to this amazing level.
Actually love this
Such an amazing Idea. I love it!
This is just amazing!!!
this is so neat
This is soooo cool.
Meet my choice #2 & subject for my Ask Me Anything project!
After posting all of the designers I contacted and their wonderful work, I wanted to introduce you to the one you’ll actually see in my project.
Mai Ly Degnan is an award winning illustrator and professor. She is currently based in Baltimore, MD. She earned her BFA in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design, as well as her MFA in Illustration Practice at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
I love her humorous illustrations, in my interview she said she wants people to feel related to what she creates. She also said she likes to make people laugh through her illustrations.
I am so happy she replied and I could do my assignment based on her. She was super nice and I am so happy with the answers she gave me.
See more of her work here.

Interview with choice #3: Tomás (Tom) Martin
Did my project on other designer but since Tom answered too, I decided to share the interview with you through here.
Tom is a Graphic Designer (born 1991) from Valencia, Spain. He creates graphic identities, books and publications, exhibition design, signage, art direction for cultural, businesses and individuals, by himself or in collaboration. ''Tom graduated in Graphic design at the Superior School of Art and Design in Valencia (EASD Valencia) in 2014, he joined Lavernia & Cienfuegos Design, a multidisciplinary design studio based in Spain, as an intern in 2012 during his second year studies. He has been at L&C ever since and upon graduating was incorporated into the team as a Graphic Designer.''
He was one of my choices because I admire that he got an internship and then a job in such a great studio while studying. Check out the interview below. It’s worth a read! Loved his answers.
1. What originally made you want to become a graphic designer?
I would say it was a matter of fate and chance. It is true that I have always been very concerned about aesthetics, art and painting. Already in school I had a certain obsession to have all my notes ordered, with decorated titles and so on. I have drawn since I had the use of reason but I did not know that the profession of graphic designer existed as such until I was 18 years old when I took the test to enter university, to fine arts, and by chance I found out that there was a design school in my city. I did the access test, it worked out for me and because of closeness to home I decided to stay there. Once inside I discovered that I had found the profession of my life.
2. How do you meet a tough deadline? Tell me about a time you completed great work under pressure.
In my case I am much more efficient when I work under pressure than when I am given a very open deadline. Working under pressure forces you to think fast and from a much more practical and functional point of view. You do not walk around the branches. It is true that this goes well when you have been in the profession for years and you already know more or less how to solve these problems, I think it is very important to have a lot of visual culture. It may sound weird but the number of hours is not that important. What is important is to be productive and focused while working on a project.
3. How do you think online design resources have influenced the graphic design being produced today?
I think that all the online design information we have today is fundamental for a professional. We must keep abreast of what is being done out there, the latest trends and so on. Many times digging through the network helps to get inspiration and we should not be afraid of it because we all take ideas from everyone and that is not why it is being copied. Online information has helped us a lot to innovate and above all to make ourselves known, to which the concepts and ideas are mixed between cultures and in this way very interesting results are obtained.
4. Describe your creative process. What are the major steps?
I start by reading the client's briefing, analyzing it and trying to get fully into their mind and what they are looking for. I try to get into the universe of its requirements at functional and aesthetic level. Then I start looking for what the competition does, inspiration and extraction of concepts. Finally I get down to work.
5. What kind of rules, culture or structure does a team need to function as efficiently as possible?
Communication, order, sharing ideas, criticize, observe what others do, task sharing, illusion ...
