TimeLine-VCT

Keeping time....keeping it in a frame is the main task.This term's VCT demands us to produce a timeframe in a format that is legible and in an aesthetic way.Its been a great few classes by Ian, starting with the making a mock timeframe to get a hang of what we should be doing.
Some interesting designs and ideas were making the rounds,this is what we came up with to distinguish the various collages we looked at in our class, which ranged from work from 1910's to 1980's covering three art movements:cubist, dadaism and futuristic movement.

Screen Printing

The workshops have have begun yet again and I'v been waiting to go for this one for quiet awhile now.I tried my hand at screen printing at our Print Studio at LCC.Again a must attend workshop for all design students and the kind of work that comes out from the studio is plain beautiful!(Read through my previous In and around LCC)

There is nothing like wet paint all over to get those creative juices flowing!

I used my newly acquired skills to whip up a couple of "hey" cards (that's what I like to call them) which was quiet a hit!

ISTD-Submission

These five weeks went quiet well and this is what I produced for my college assessment

How much wood would a wood cutter cut if a wood cutter would have to cut wood!

Today's session with Andrew Craig was well amzingly tiring.Etching well is not an easy task for starters but the final print was beautiful and quiet worth the labour and numb fingers for the next few days!

I think all must sign in if you'll do get a chance to for their workshops and support the Studio as well.

John Maeda-Interactive calendars

I stumbled across this site when I was trying to design a calendar for myself.John Maeda an MIT graduate who for some odd reason likes to code complex Java applets to achieve optical illusions and (in his own words) "of no particular practical use"  calendars.
Its amazing and totally worth a visit, I bet you'd click the 'next' button to see his next animation,however pointless.

1.Work experience
2.Learning new techniques
3.Teching what i know!
4.Skill exchange/Cultural exchange programme thingie
5.Maybe just maybe...earn a few extra bucks!
