SaTC Quote Spreads

I’ve redone the chapter break spreads.  Originally they just had the quote with a single colour digitally produced.  While I liked the idea of just filling a page with one colour, I felt that they were too flat and I could do more with the pages.  I’ve used photos relating to each colour to try and lift them out and have some texture.  I’ve also redone the quotes, as I think I managed to break every typographic rule in the prototype :)

BLUE: Lead into chapter about Peckham Library.

RED: 88 Wood Street chapter

Yellow: Central St Giles

Lego does colour block

These are well cool.  A new print campaign for lego, that’s been created by German ad agency Jung von Matt.

The campaign features minimalist interpretations of cartoon / kids show characters.

This is my favourite. Maybe it’s the stripey tops.

 

So simple, yet recognisable and effective.

Sweets & the City

Inspired by the SaTC project, here’s today’s workshop on Information Design – sweets arranged in height.

We also arranged by colour, shape and texture / flavour.

Framed at the Tate

Catching up on some work I’d planned to do dating back to the start of the visual grammar workshops.  When I was in the Tate Modern I took a few photos of some of the smaller art pieces arranged in frames with the notion of reproducing them as a visual grammar exercise.  Finally got around to doing some.
