Brighter 3D

This just in from the elusive Valentine. The full size version is huge and took his computer 8 hours to render so give him some love and big ups.

centerfold shoot idea - Shaking faces

this was a few photos my mates took, just thought they were pretty funny and thought I'd share them with you... but it doesn't really make everyone look their best

FMP Images

Hi guys, I'm starting an experience with the FMP spreads but I really need you to colaborate and tell me which image you would like me to use. Otherwise I will go to your blogs and choose it myself.

Here's an example of what could work for the FMP layout.

We found this image and it inspired us for the centrefold group photoshoot in the Brighter Journal. Concept something along the lines of our designer alter-egos...only requirement would be to wear bright neon colours to reflect the shows theme this year. We needs everyone's thoughts or other suggestions ASAP once again, shoot to be scheduled within next few weeks and full co-operation from everyone will be needed!

Freelance Work - Journal

Yo yo yo,
As you all already know we may include an article on any freelance work we participate in outside of college, if proved interesting enough that is! So please forward as much details (and pics) on what you'd like to submit to Ravi (r.sohanpal1@chelsea.arts.ac.uk) and Ana (anamcfreitas@gmail.com) ASAP - we need to prepare the journal in advance for GTS to check over. Bear in mind we're not looking for the logo you designed for your local florist - think of exciting, quirky, even random things that you've been a part of and how the experience shaped you as a designer!
P.S. keep sending in your Desk pics to Ana...any further suggestions welcome!

Joanna's FMP Update

My FMP has expanded to include a live brief which I'll be working on alongside my vending machine. The client is Artforum, a UK based gift and home accessories company who commissioned me to design a set of 6 japanese street fashion dolls. These are a continuation of their existing range of 'Momiji Dolls' which are available in retailers including Paperchase and John Lewis.

I'm currently coming up with ideas for packaging and peripherals (stickers, tags, illustrations). The client is very excited to have this project as part of the Chelsea Show. Ana, please let me know if it's possible to include this as a piece in the 'freelance' section of the Brighter Journal. There's a chance their PR agency may contact you.

On the subject of my vending machine, I'm going with recognisable human characters (the two shown above, and currently working on a 'Chavtastic' series). I'd be really grateful for any suggestions people might have about what other characters they'd like to see in the machine. These could be famous people, stereotypes, historical etc (better still would be a 'collective' title which groups a particular series together). Ideas?

I have tried to improve my design, I have the bum a bit more juicy thanks to mary!! I have also designed anothe one which isnt so raunchy i do have a lot more to do so watch this space.
Tommorrow I shall be modelling my designers dresses really nervous! will put up more images of swing tags business cards and packaging by beginning of next week, I will also put up pics of the shoot and let you know how it went! have a good evening guys and dolls!
P.S THE COLOUR OF THE SECOND ONE SHOWS BLUE THIS ISNT CORRECT IF YOU CLICK ONTO IT YOU WILL GET THE RIGHT COLOURS DONT KNOW WHY THAT HAPPENS SORRY!!!

Olga Matryoshka as a reflection of Russian culture

I have been straggling with a idea for final project for really long time. All my ideas weren't any good, but now i think i finally came up with something i would be interested to do.

Nesting dolls are well known and most popular among all Russian souvenirs. The most famous one is called "matryoshka".

The first Russian doll was born in 1890 and was made as a toy for children. The first dolls and traditional ones are those that look like a young Russian woman dressed in Russian native costume with a scarf on her head. But as time went by and social and political situation in Russia changed, matryoshka drammaticly evolved too. Some of them even gained the look of some of the most influential people in the history of Russia. Looking back at all matryoshka's various images, it is possible to track the political, social and cultural changes in the counry.

The phenomenon of matryoshka always fascinated me that is why i have decided to do project on thise topic.

For the final piece i was thinking to produce a series of posters which will show the changes in matryoshka's appearance reflecting the changes in Russian history.


There i want to show a rough example of how matryoshka has been changing through the years depending on the situation in Russia.

Downing street petition approved

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that my petition to stop foundation tutors promoting sketchbooks has been approved by the petitions team at Downing street. Geoff doesn't approve of the direction my project has taken (protest/campaign etc), so i wont actually be going any further with this, but that doesn't stop you from signing the petition. If you really want sketchbooks etc banned, this is your chance! A petition only needs 200 signatures to be passed to the minister concerned. Anyway, thought i'd let you know, and if you want to sign it, this is the address:

 http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Ban-sketchbooks/

Alternatively you can just go to the Downing street website at: www.number-10.gov.uk

Cheers all,

Christine

Hung's Live Breif

I have been looking for a live project to do for my final major! It took slightly longer than I have expected but here it is!

The company is called Run Jump Fly Productions, it is a production company for British Free-skiing, and the company began on summer 2005. Where they spent that summer creating an all-British movie featuring the young talented British skiers around the world. Then they have been increasing their knowledge of the British ski scene and the art of film production in order to prepare for the their goal of creating their first official production ‘Ski city’ (DVD). Over their first season in Verbier Switzerland the company grew and took on Nick Southwell as an assistant cameraman and marketing manager.

In one year the Company has changed from an idea to a well-established name within the UK community and it is continuing to grow with the sport as it rises in popularity and notoriety throughout the world.

I have been contacting Nick about my situation and possibility of working with them. It was a good timing for me to ask them, as they were looking for designers to improve their current website (http://www.runjumpfly.net) as well as creating their whole new magazine about British free-skiing and their production…
They have also just finished shooting their 2nd DVD Switzerland! Nick has also allowed me to design the whole DVD packaging for them but the DVD would not be out until August, so this could be something I can after my final!
In the mean time for this FMP, I will be redesigning their website and work along with them with their Run Jump Fly Magazine! As they have given me the chance to do the laying out and font design for the magazine! They are planning to launch this magazine in June/July this year 2007, so I will do my best to finish the magazine before the 12th of June.

Here are some links related to the RunJumpFly

Hope this is good enough project for a Final Major.

I'm weak! Due to mounting peer pressure, here is a sampler for you all. Hope it satisfies.

Hi Guys,

I've been working on my blog, but haven't yet worked out how to add it to the list.
