poster weekly by satoru nihei. as the title suggests, satoru posts a random poster each week with no real coherent theme. this experimentation of producing something under the same guidelines every week is something i would like to try for myself when i have a bit more free time.

reflection

my experience with the process of creating a tumblr has been polarising, in that certain aspects i have found to be rather useful, whilst others i have found quite weird to try to justify as being productive.

in the context of personal progression, i have found it has been an effective way to learn of potential new mediums i would like to pursue. however, i have had some qualms with various aspects of posting, which was infrequent and erratic when i did post. it often felt like i was sending stuff into the feed to meet a quota instead of sincerely putting my heart behind every post; sometimes i would be disappointed in the content simply because i was rushing to push more stuff into the feed, but if i didn’t my page would be really underwhelming. i also found it weird trying to view it as a personal journal. i wasn’t exactly reflecting about my personal trials and tribulations within this coarse, which have been more than i would like to admit, instead posting purely on a cosmetic basis.

i would like to hear what other people think about this but i’m certain this post will be flooded out of the first page by the rush of posts people seem to be making currently.

textile work by reiko koga, japanese textile artist now based in france. i attempted to interview her but didn’t hear back. the type she creates when she sows is really nice and always approached with a level of imbalance and inconsistency.

some posters i made in some down time at work.

anna beil is an artist and designer who works primarily with illustration and animation. the rough and somewhat crude drawings contain a provocative sexual undertone to them which is expressed in quite a humorous fashion. i really like this aesthetic quite a bit.

nonporous is publishing studio based in chicago. their work contains an awesome home brewed feel to it. on that note, does anyone know where i can get access to a risograph printer?

self taught graphic designer ben arfur runs the fashion label blue honey. in order to promote his events he started making his own posters. the thing that makes this so impressive is his ability to experiment and interchange into different styles with a good grasp on simplistic to chaotic layouts, especially for an autodidact.

heard back from 2 of about 8 people i messaged.

work by hungarian design student jakob balint. really awesome colour choices with bold, clean designs.

on the topic of collage from our tuesday class, here is a collection of works by callum royle, former communication design student at rmit. if you like this sort of thing you should check out his website.

type by andrei robu

an awesome website by elna frederick of computers club. andy linked this to me a while ago and it’s well worth having a look at the work they are producing.

work by mizuuchi mikako, japanese designer and illustrator that uses grey lead and watercolour pencils to create extremely contemporary layouts. i always thought pencils were quite a childish medium to use but this has made me reconsider that idea.

some letters from last class. coincidentally spelt out a word!

VISITES POSSIBLES from Sabrina Ratté on Vimeo.

creating 3D environments based on video images generated by electronic signals. inspired by the idea of virtual tours and architectural renderings.

ask me anything!

for my interview, i messaged a collection of creatives that inspire me, listed below.

• tadashi ueda and yutaka satoh. two japanese graphic designers/ artists that produce an unconventional and simplistic style for their posters and layouts for commercial and personal purposes.

• yanobe kenji. a japanese artist with a deep interest with post nuclear fallout, often depicted in a rather eerily happy and lighthearted fashion.

• tereza and vit ruller. the duo behind design studio “the rodina”. often combining 3d redered elements with minimalist design elements to create intense and fascinating layouts.

• reiko koga. a contemporary artist who works with textiles. she creates awesome tapestries in a minimalist fashion.

• corbin mahieu, dries deriemaeker and timon attelaer. formerly a trio that made up team lavalamp. they all produce awesome work and provide a valuable insight into european graphic design.

• haley alexander van oosten. an internationally recognised perfumer who explores frangrance and the non-visual realms of perception through it.

yet to hear back from them.

The illustrated alphabet above and the moving gif was created by the french graphic designer, art director and illustrator Leslie David. I have posted about her work before and am particularly captured by her unique treatment of alphabets. She launched her multidisciplinary Creative Studio in 2009 in Paris. Her studio focuses on a wide range of visual thinking and design, in the fields of fashion, art and culture.

This work was created for the Double magazine’s 2015 april issue.

More of Leslie David’s work can be seen at her website http://www.leslie-david.com/, which is where the images above were sourced. I would also recommend that people have a look at her tumblr @lesliedavid-captures, for inspirational treatment of letterforms.

When looking at this alphabet in class, Sasha and I noticed its similarity to Microsofts WordArt element of word. I found this similarity amusing for a designer to recreate this rather unattractive typography, pushing past what is considered ‘bad’ design and making it something ‘good’.
