Digital Picture Now Comes Stamped
Why would you want a digital camera that doubles up as a rubber stamp? Why? The answer is simple….just for fun! As of now digicams offer a variety of options and modes (sepia, landscape etc.) to take pictures and edit them. Stampy Digital Camera gives you the option of creating a rubber-stamp version of your photograph, so that you stamp it onto any sheet of...
Year1 Reflection
My first year at the FdA in graphic communication is going to end soon so for me it is probably time to think about what I have learnt most during this academic year.
One of the thing I appreciated from this course were the workshops with did. Almost all of them have been useful to me and they gave me the opportunity to learn new skills and work on some graphic design areas where I was not too...

The rise of the amateur - HOW DO I REACT?
VCT Contemporary Design Debates summative assessment assignment
By A. Carboni
What makes a person who studies Graphic Design more qualified than one who is passionate but amateur or, in other words autodidact in that field? Furthermore, why should a customer spend more money and contact a professional rather than opt for an autodidact for the realization of a project? Nowadays it is well know...

How to ensure your design portfolio is attracting...
I read this article online. Found it interest reading. Enjoy it!
When looking for work, the advantage we have as designers is the ability to actually show what kind of work we can do, rather than just trying to explain it on a resume. And just like presenting a resume, you want to make sure you put your best foot forward when it comes to showing your portfolio. I thought I’d pass along a few...

Julia project
Here we go with an other new project. The most exciting thing to me is that we are going to work with professionals! Will be a really electrifying experience :-)
What I’m doing now, as first step of this project, is to research about Balance typeface, extensively. It means as many interesting ways of interpreting the word itself so not just the typeface the name refers to.
First of all,...
My personal review of the curation of the...
“One day, we shall endow chariots with incredible speed, without the aid of any animal,” wrote English scholar and scientist Roger Bacon.
Roger Bacon wrote that technology would lead to constant changes and revolutions. If he were here today, no doubt he would be more than satisfied with the progress made so far. If he were still alive, the ‘London Transport Museum’ would probably seem like a...
These quotes surely are the greatest inspiration...
These are some quotes, by some greatest artists and logo designers. I’m probably going to use some of them for my pdf presentation about Branding area of the next week.
“A logo doesn’t sell, it identifies. A logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around. A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it means is more important...
WatchThe beauty of data visualization:
David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut and it may just change the way we see the world.
WatchThis video inspired me because of the visual effects of letters. This is a perfect example of how words can communicate more than just plainly written on paper. The use of sounds and movement inspires emotions and establishes a relationship because we are subjected to these brands and words in every day life. Enjoy the video now….
WatchFresh Impressions on Brandmarks from 5-year-old child

In fact, was really interesting to see what brand logos are so distinct that a 5 year old can pick up on...

This technique was really helpful for enhance the power of observation. What we did was fixing our eyes on the outline of a object, draws the contour without lifting the pencil or looking at the paper. It was really funny, especially because the outcomes are often something completely...
