<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some of you might remember my post on the creative duo known as <a href="http://colinteevan.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/kai-and-sunny.html" target="_blank">Kai & Sunny</a>, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">two of my favorite Illustrators and Designers. Recently I finished the novel 'Number 9 Dream' by David Mitchell, the cover of which designed by Kai & Sunny. I originally picked up the book purely based on the cover design because lets face it we all judge a book by its cover, as we should, and I am very glad I did so in this instance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now there's no need to worry, I'm not turning my blog into a source for book reviews. I've decided to dedicate a post to this book because it's one of the few books in which I feel the cover art perfectly matches the content. Most book covers I feel miss the mark when it comes to capturing the essence of the story but this is not the case with 'Number 9 Dream'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The story is of a young man and his journey to Tokyo Japan in search of the father who abandoned him as a child. Having never lived in the city before he is very unfamiliar with how things work within the social order. Needless to say he stumbles into many little scenarios that make the book an interesting read (lets face it, it's how all stories go. If they didn't no one would be interested in them).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I believe the cover perfectly illustrates the vast size of the city and just how difficult the task is ahead of the central character. Not only do Kai & Sunny use the proportion and angles of the buildings to emphasize this but also the very creative design of the title. Hundreds of little dots form the title, which (I believe) represents the millions of people that live in Tokyo, going about their daily lives. Indicating that the main characters mission will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The use of colour and general style of the illustration is also very interesting as it is clearly linked to the style of writing used by Mitchell within the story. The modern and almost techno appearance links with several topics highlighted in the story, one of which includes Video (or computer) Games.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am curious as to whether Kai & Sunny were given a copy of the book to read before designing the cover, or if the process was similar to my own experiences where the majority of information comes from the books synopsis. Perhaps they were lucky enough to have the opportunity to sit down and discuss the novel with the author themselves (since it would seem a strong friendship has formed between them). Either way I think Kai & Sunny did a fantastic job with the cover design and would say that this is what book design should be about; truly capturing the feel of the story as well as the viewers eye from a bookshelf.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While searching for an image of the books cover I stumbled across the below designs. I'm not sure who the designers are and take no credit myself for their work but felt they were interesting designs that came close to touching on what the book is about, however fell down when compared to Kai & Sunny's excellent design.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Recently I was asked by a couple of extremely close friends to draw up some illustrations for their wedding. Both are big comic-book fans so asked me to draw five infamous hero couples which would then be used as part of the table centerpieces for the wedding, each table being represented by a different couple.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the end I wasn't totally happy with the designs (mainly due to my lack of skill in the area of comic-book illustrations), however thankfully the Bride & Groom were incredibly pleased with the images. I do however plan to continue redrawing them in my spare time as a challenge to both improve my skills and prove something to myself. I have a HND in 'Illustration' and feel that my drawing skills have gradually slipped over the years as I made the transition from Illustration to Graphic Design.</span></div>

Unfortunately this was due to a Hard-drive malfunction with my Mac. I have now replaced the damaged Hard-drive and been slowly trying to return my Mac to its former glory.<br />
<br />
Now that I am back up and running I'll be posting again. I still haven't decided on a theme for a new series like I had previously been doing, so instead over the next few weeks I'll ease myself back into things by sharing with you all the different Design related subjects and objects that have kept me going.Colin Teevanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15402258205860658276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029517198934426818.post-90475452146203093332012-01-01T06:34:00.000-08:002012-01-01T06:34:37.252-08:00Seasons GreetingsMerry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all. I hope you have had a wonderful holiday and were treated to lots of Graphic Goodies.<br />
<br />
You may have noticed that I haven't posted anything over the past several weeks. I have been consumed with the holiday (it's my favorite time of year), while also battling Mac Malfunctions and an unruly Safari update. This has meant that I haven't really found the time to contribute anything worth while to my blog.<br />
<br />
I have however been thinking to the future and what I hope to do and achieve. Many new ideas have came to me recently which I hope to make a start on very soon, and several friends and followers have had some great suggestions on new features I could add to the blog.<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks I will be considering and making a start on these projects, but in the meantime I will be keeping things quiet on the blogging front.<br />
<br />
I wish you all the very best for 2012.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Commune are a small design group with big ideas. Not content on having a niche style or even profession (by which I mean being known solely as a packaging design company, etc) Commune's portfolio is vast and varied with an abundance of different projects. It would seem they take the opportunity to design whenever they can, no matter what the subject. Any chance to spread their creative wings, they take.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Unfortunately I know very little about the actual work of the company (because their site is in Japanese, and I'm too lazy to learn how to read it), so I will just showcase work of theirs I really like and talk about why.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My favorite pieces by Commune have to be their Identity Designs. As I mentioned they dable in many areas of Design but it would seem that they really enjoy creating logos and finding fun ways of using them. This is a playful company that create work that just makes you want to smile.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Below is a new business card they designed for themselves which not only informs the recpiriant of their recent relocation, but also shows a new approach and style they hope to bring forth in their work. Light hearted but still controlled in design Commune show with ease that they know 'how' to deisgn; it's the fun element they really like to focus on.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I absolutely love the Happy Tree & Co business cards. Commune have done their best here to create a business card that the recipient would want to keep by turning into a sort of sculpture. Having the tree pop out of the card may seem very simple and obvious but I know if I was given one of these cards it would be sitting on my desk for a long time. Something about the design just brings a smile to my face. I also really like the inclusion of photographs of the staff on the personal side of the card. I have never seen it done before but it makes a lot of sense as people are likely to forget who exactly gave them the card. This way the recipient will be able to assign the business to a memorable and friendly face.</span> </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Commune have an abundance of projects on their <a href="http://www.commune-inc.jp/" target="_blank">website</a>, so instead of have me rambling on I strongly suggest you go explore it yourselves (bare with it, it can take a while to load due to its format). The studio have worked for dozens of different companies from restaurants to football teams, and many more. If you're not a fan of the somewhat 'cute' work I have show here don't let that put you off looking at the rest of their work. I grantee there is something for everyone in there. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Below I've included a few samples of some of my favorite projects of theirs. Enjoy.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I have been debating whether or not to create a Facebook account for North of The Border. I can't decide if it is a worthwhile choice or not so I turn to you, my lovely followers. Should I set up the account or not?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In all honesty it would just be another place for me to announce my blog posts as well as any news on what I'm up to. It may not affect some of you as you already follow me through Blogger or </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ColinTeevan" target="_blank">Twitter</a>,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> but for those of you that don't would you prefer to have that connection?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Previously my Designer of the week posts have been focusing on Designers that either inspired me to study Graphic Design, or that I discovered while attending University. Well this week I'm looking at a designer I stumbled upon soon after graduating but wished I had known of when starting my first year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="http://www.graphicfury.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Benoit Ollive</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> is a multitalented designer. Originally from France he is now based in London, a bold step he had hoped would further his career. Benoit originally studied Fine Art and much like many Artists he has looked for other outlets for his creativity, so as not to stifle it. It just so happens he's a natural designer. As a self taught Graphic Designer he chooses to focus his style on making a statement about the urban world and society surrounding him. His designs are culturally aware and very witty in conveying his message. I would not necessarily say his technique is phenomenal but the messages he puts across are strong, interesting, well thought out, and very funny.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Upon moving to London Benoit hoped to make a statement in the design world and become a notable character. To first achieve this though he knew he had to grab the attention of the studios of London, so he concocted the Throw Bricks Mailer. Using his knowledge of screen printing Benoit created this well designed CV to several studios. He wanted the design to have an impact on the recipient much like a brick through your window create (hence the theme and design of the mailer). A tad aggressive way to say "Hi" to the industry but if he were to throw one through my window I would defiantly remember his name.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is hard to pin Benoit Olive as merely a Designer, he is in fact an artist in its truest form. From the start of every project his focus is on how best to convey his message and opinion, and if this means he must dabble in the other Arts to best express it then so be it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Truly an amazing and creative mind, Benoit shows us that it is not necessarily the craft to the design that grabs the viewer but the core message behind the design. His messages are silly and fun, and this is how they best connect with the viewer. Take a lesson from him and go create silly and fun designs, it works. I know if I was highering, no matter what my company designed, I would want a mind as beautiful, open and creative as Benoit's on my team. </span><br />

I was reminded of Studio Newwork this week while chatting with my good friend <a href="http://www.leanneswift.co.uk/" target="_blank">Leanne Swift</a> at our recent graduation. Leanne and myself have always shared a love for great layout design and <a href="http://www.studionewwork.com/#" target="_blank">Newwork</a> were a company we ALWAYS thought of and went to for inspiration when working on our own designs. I can't remember which one of us stumbled across them first but ever since then they have been a huge influence on both our styles.<br />
<br />
Newwork are known for their self produced magazine (now up to issue 6) which they use to showcase artists, designers and other creatives they like and admire. The magazines are beautifully designed and show the careful craft and skills possessed by Newwork. To help maintain a crisp and sophisticated feel all the magazines are produced in black and white, with the occasional spot colour (usually on the cover) to help the design 'pop' in certain areas. These magazines are filled with creative and flowing layouts; achieved thanks to their heavy use of white space.<br />

For anyone unfamiliar with the term 'White Space' it is a way of designing which involves creating a spacious and open design by giving the content a respectful amount of room on the page. Usually it means having a lot of paper (normally white in colour) occupy the design instead of cramming the layout full of text. For example a Newspaper is not usually considered to have a lot of white space because the designer is trying to fit as much information as possible into the available space on the page. The samples below are perfect examples of using White Space as a key factor in your designs.<br />

As one might imagine, with such fresh and clean layouts Newwork are considered a very fashion aware studio and therefore have landed themselves several jobs designing for companies in the fashion industry. Look Books are a huge part of their business as the studio is known for their speciality in print work. They work carefully to make each Look Book a bespoke piece of design and not merely a catalogue thrown together. Each book they produce has its own individual design to compliment the personality of the clothes featured within it. No two books are the same just as no two fashion lines are.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So this week has been a big week for me as a couple of days ago I returned to the city of Carlisle for my Graduation ceremony. That is correct, as of Tuesday I officially have a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now I won't make this post all about me. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to my wonderful tutors for all their guidance over the past couple of years (and even some last minute handy tips at the reception on Tuesday). You each managed to keep my focused and never aloud me give up on myself and the work I was producing. Thank you.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the past week I have been working on a series of posters for the upcoming production of <i>'The Boat'</i> by Laura Young. I decided to focus on the hidden emotions of the characters as this is essentially the key theme to the play. Every character has a secret which they are trying to mask (but is inevitably revealed throughout the performance) so I wanted the images to show the characters in one light, only for the viewer to understand their true emotions after going to see the play. Go ahead and see if you can guess what emotions I've asked the actors to give us a hint of, but ultimately disguise. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I worked alongside Graphic Designer and Photographer <a href="http://cargocollective.com/leoidsson" target="_blank">Hugh Leoidsson</a> on this project and he was a great help. Hugh not only took these fantastic photos but was also able to work to the quick deadline I set him and even take charge of the shoot. Unfortunately due to geographical inconvenience I wasn't able to be at the photo-shoot to Art Direct, but Hugh was very good and taking lead from my instructions and sketches depicting what I was after. I'm choosing to say I did Art Direct this but Hugh was the man to put it all together for me. Thank you Hugh for your fantastic work and help.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This project was difficult for me (I wont lie) as I tend to struggle with poster designs. I am however happy with the final results. I have noticed a couple of areas in my skills that I need to work thanks to this project, so in the future I think I will try to produce more posters. They may not be great at first but practice makes perfect. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This week I introduce to you the fantastic Design duo known as Kai and Sunny. For those unfamiliar with the pairs work you might be surprised to know that you have seen more of it than you first realized. Kai and Sunny (as far as I'm aware) first began to gain the publics attention with the release of the hit novel <i>Cloud Atlas</i> by David Mitchell. This book became a huge seller and won several awards for not only the author but also the wonderful pair that designed its cover. Ever since <i>Cloud Atlas's</i> release Kai and Sunny have picked up many big name clients and gone on to establish themselves as a deign team to be watched.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A beautiful cover and fantastic read. I bought this book solely for the cover design but was by no means disappointed by the story.</span></td></tr>

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As I mentioned Kai and Sunny are known for their award winning book cover design, but they have gone on to prove that they are more than a one design wonder. As well as designing many more covers for David Mitchell they have also won over several other authors and are quickly become the go to team for book covers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In my opinion I would say the pair are more Illustrators than Designers as they have a very distinct style which the mold to every new brief they are presented. Instead of starting every project from scratch Kai and Sunny clearly know their strengths and have worked hard to develop a style that they are both happy with, which they then adapt that to the brief. These two have a fantastic style that they know how to work. It is very surreal and tranquil, detailed, yet simple and open. They have a great way of capturing (in the case of books) the stories feel and mood. There is a true craft to their work and you can tell they take each job very personally in order to produce the best possible final design. Their work appears to go beyond being just another job to them, it seems almost like they are designing for themselves. Their is clearly a love in their craft.</span><br />

Once again the cover just drew me in. If you can be sure to check out the detail of the title font Kai & Sunny created for this book. Ridiculously detailed they clearly have a lot of patience.</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This personal craft is not something they keep solely for book covers though. As well as Designing enough books to fill half your local library, Kai and Sunny are also working on becoming established artists. Taking their developed style a step further they have gone on to produce beautifully detailed prints for their own exhibitions (currently attracting a lot of attention in London). The duo focus on abstract patterns and linear shaping to create simple but striking pieces. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kai and Sunny are doing what many Designers in the industry want to but can't. They have gained mass attention in the industry but have also found the time to design for themselves. The art shows are their personal projects, their escape from the fast paced world of Design briefs and clients. They can experiment to their hearts content and with no restrictions on these personal pieces, only then to take what they have learned and bring it back to their commercial projects. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is something many designers the world over strive to achieve and I honestly believe it is something we should all push to make happen. This team has show it can be done. You can be both experimental and in demand. It may mean juggling a few many projects at once but clearly, as Kai and Sunny's work shows, it's worth it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was theme for one of their more recent exhibitions. The pair asked their friend and long time client David Mitchell for a short story they could then interpret and illustrate. They produce several striking prints to accompany the story and have released them all, including the short story, in a limited edition box set.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This week I'm showing you the work of Thomas Schostok a.k.a. </span><a href="http://by.ths.nu/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">{ths}</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. I'm not sure how many of you will be familiar with his work as despite having an abundance on projects under his belt I do not believe he is well known (that could however just be within the circles I occupy though).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I first heard of {ths}'s work in an issue of Computer Arts Project where he gave a tutorial on how to create your own Glue Book. Glue Books were apparently how {ths} got started in design and ended up honing the style he is known for. Basically a Glue Book is a Sketchbook or Log-book actually constructed by the artist and contains artwork made up of collages. The ratio of the entire book usually ends up 80% pva glue, 20% actual content (I'm taking the piss with those numbers). The more chaotic and messy the artwork is the happier {ths} is.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As mentioned his work is very chaotic and messy. His work has a very rebellious, punk feel to it as he uses whatever he gets his hands on to create the designs. In his tutorial I mentioned the reader is instructed to tare apart old magazines and children's books for the base of the images and then cover them with tape containing mud and dirt from the street. {ths}'s entire style seems focused on the feel and texture of the work and how the viewer interacts with it and/or the message behind it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although I have described him very much as an artist so far {ths} is in fact a designer and explores more than just sticky kids books. He works on web designs, corporate identities & stationary, booklet and layout designs, and even creates his own typefaces. He is even one of the founding members of a type foundry </span><a href="http://www.cape-arcona.com/news/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Cape Arcona Type Foundry</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been a big admirer of {ths}'s work since starting my 1st year of uni and although my style may not resemble anything near his I like to think that the random exploration in his work can been seen in my own. I have tried tabling in his style several times but for some reason find it incredibly difficult. I guess you get better at it with a life times worth of experience (of course), but who knows I might give it another go. After rediscovering his work and writing this blog I feel inspired. I'll let you know how it goes.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So this morning I was delighted to receive my copy of this years International Typographic Awards (ISTD) booklet through the mail. An e-mail earlier this week informed me that my copy was on its way which lead me to wait in anticipation for the remainder of the week. Now I'm not saying the book was a disappointment, far from it, in fact ISTD always produce gorgeously designed books (it's expected of them). I did however feel a little let down by the content.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I would like to state right now that I am not questioning the quality of any of the featured designers work as the work truly is beautiful and in some cases very inspiring (plus I never got in myself so I don't exactly have a leg to stand on in bagging on someone else's work lol). I do however have an issue with a repetitive comment made by the judges throughout the book that certain projects and how they were executed were 'original'. I may lose my head (or worse... my membership) for saying this but I beg to differ. Yes all the work was of a very high standard and great but I would hardly say anyone was doing anything particularly new. With a lot of the projects I felt as though I had seen it before, perhaps not as controlled or as well executed but certainly with a similar core. It left me wondering if there was anyone out there with a truly original and "far out" idea, and if so was their work just not deemed good enough for ISTD? Perhaps it just wasn't polished enough, which is a fair reason to be overlooked... to some extent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I just wish I had turned the pages of my nice new book to be blown away with design that made me rethink the entire world of design. Maybe I'm asking a lot of a little A5 book but shouldn't we as designers be trying to push boundaries and scare one another? It's easy to scare the general public, but shocking other designers is part of the fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway this will probably be my last post as I imagine a barrage of designers are ready to knock down my door and take me away, never to be seen or heard from again. In all honesty the work is great, just not what I had expected. Perhaps I had just built it up to much in my head.</span></div>Colin Teevanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15402258205860658276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029517198934426818.post-38481378173806757872011-11-09T09:50:00.000-08:002011-11-09T09:50:48.517-08:00Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This post has little (or even nothing) to do with Graphic Design but because I consider it's content a huge influence on my life I felt as though I should share it with you all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last night I finished reading the book Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. If you haven't heard of Haruki before I highly recommend you pick up one of his books and prepare for a strange yet enjoyable reading experience. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Haruki is known for writing surreal stories based in Japan around the 60s and 70s and to be quite honest... I've never truly understood the meaning behind them. I know it sounds silly for me to recommend an author when I can't even work out the morals to his stories but reading them truly is a great experience. Haruki has a very nonchalant and relaxing writing style that I personally find very enjoyable; it easily takes you from our world into his.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I say his work is surreal I don't mean the characters do battle with dragons or any of that fantasy malarky. Instead the characters tend to encounter spirits/ghosts (though you won't hear them called that. To negative I imagine), talking animals, A-sexual beings and even on one occasion Mr Johnny Walker (the whisky guy/company for those who don't know). These characters (usually) do their best to help guide the central character on their path to understanding their own life better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm not sure if it is his style of writing, or perhaps I am just lucky, but I tend to relate to the characters he creates in each book. Not because I've gone through some hard life or seen other worldly spirits like them, but more because his characters always remind me of friends I've made over the years. There's a warmth and familiarity to them that really helps the reader feel as though they are the central character.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway I'm just rambling now. Go buy or borrow one of his books and see what I'm talking about for yourself. I would recommend Norwegian Wood to ease you into his style as it's less tripy than his other books. Do be warned though that although his books usually contain an underlining theme of love this one is blatantly a romance/love story (I know it's not for us all). If you really want to avoid the romance novel After The Quake was his first book that I picked up. It's a collection of short stories and is usually dirt cheap in shops like Fopp, so go for that as a quick introduction to his style.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh yeah, the Graphic Design part...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I bought his books based on the covers. It was a good choice. I know we're not supposed to "judge a book buy it's cover" but I'm a Graphic Designer; if covers don't sway me then someone hasn't done their job properly!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This Sunday in keeping with my recent blurt of all things typographic I thought I'd share with you one of my all time favorite Typographic Designers (I'm not sure if that's an accurate job title, but I'll let you decide for yourself) </span><a href="http://www.wordsarepictures.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Craig Ward</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now the reason I love Craig's work is because of his playful creativity and curiosity. This man sees type everywhere in his everyday life and brings it forward for the rest of us to enjoy. The first project of his I ever knew of was his typeface made out of human hair. The story goes Craig was sitting in a barbers having his hair cut when he noticed a letter in the shedding on the floor, this then made him wonder what other letters he could form from hair. You have to love a crazy man who makes words out of hair on a barbershop floor (we've all done it with alphabet soup but he takes it to a new level).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This project got me curious of just how crazy one designers work can be and I soon found an abundance of Craig's work all over the internet and printed world.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There literally are dozens of projects by Craig Ward out there in the world for you to enjoy. I have only included a few of my favorites in this post but if you want to see more they are not hard to find. I personally find his website a bit irritating to view so if like me you prefer a simpler way to view design try his </span><a href="http://www.behance.net/wordsarepictures" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Behance</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> profile. Enjoy and let this prove that not all Typography Designers spend their days chained to a Mac.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am however a bit unsure with how it feels as a layout.

Please take a look at the page and let me know what you think; does the layout work? Would the images have been better if they were photographs?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After the success of last weeks </span><a href="http://colinteevan.blogspot.com/2011/10/sites-of-inspiration.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sites of Inspiration</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> post I decided that maybe I should share more than just websites that inspire me. And so this has lead me to start a series of post showcasing Designers who I consider to be a massive influence on my work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Admittedly I could have started this series off with any number of great and well known designers (Sagmeister is a all time favorite for me so I had to fight against that urge) but i thought instead I'd begin with a designer that not many people may know of...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Stephen Farrell is a relatively unknown designer, mainly due to his lack of an online presence. After being introduced to his work by my friend </span><a href="http://www.leanneswift.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Leanne Swift</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> during my last year of Uni we spent months trying to find samples of his work; only to land short with a few blog posts by fans (like this one) and a spread in the Design book 'Area 2'. Farrell is an acclaimed designer and has not only won several awards for his work but also teaches at 'the School of the Art Institute of Chicago'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sod it, I was going to attempt to go into his life story (from what I could find) but if you really want to know that you can find it at the select few sites that do host his work. Please just enjoy the collection of pieces I have posted here. Farrell was a massive influence to me during my final year and especially useful for my </span><a href="http://colinteevan.blogspot.com/2011/10/flatland-final.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Flatland project</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (I only discovered this morning that he to designed a Flatland book. I'm now off to see if I can buy my own copy). Farrell's work showed me that you can still make large amounts of text playful and daring, and at the same time legible for the reader. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Flatland was a project I completed a while ago to help me obtain my MISTD (International Society for Typographic Designers) membership, however it's only been recently that I've decided to create a mock-up for my website. Let me tell you though, it has been no easy feet. Mocking up a project is usually fairly simple but the sheer size of the files for this project have caused Photoshop to give up on me many a time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway for those that don't know my Flatland project is a concertina folded book, hence its peculiar appearance in these layouts. Eventually a full description and layout of the project will be up on my site but in the meantime here is what I've managed to do. I still have a few small details to fix but hopefully it will be up this weekend.</span></div>

Individually I've listed sites for them to go to for 'Inspiration' and it occurred to me this morning that I should just post a list of these sites here for you all to enjoy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">By no means are any of these websites secret gems, in fact there is a good chance many of you already know and use them but for those that don't I highly recommend you do. I regularly check these sites just to have a nosy at what's going on in the world and while at uni (when I didn't have a TV) I would spend every morning scouring them over breakfast to gear myself up for a creative day. It sounds cheesy but I swear it worked.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway please enjoy and if you have any sites you feel should be added to the list leave me a comment and I'll be sure to add them for us all to benefit from.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another late entry from my portfolio. I'm honestly surprised I haven't put up anything about this project in the past but I'm assuming it was just down to it being a busy time in my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For this project I worked alongside an Advertising Student and good friend Sarah Knight. Together we were to produce a cost effective way to advertise an upcoming festival that would rival big name music festivals like T In The Park, Download, Leeds, etc. The reason the promotional material had to be cost affective was because the festival itself is aimed at a low budget audience who haven't been able to afford going to festivals in the past.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One of the promos we decided to go with was this flier folded into a paper airplane. The idea being that the fliers can be passed around to friends or in public cheaply and in an entertaining way (you know you'd pick up a paper airplane if you saw it on the ground. It's like, the law). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My new portfolio site is finally done. After spending months designing elaborate site and then deciding it wasn't good enough I eventually thought "sod this" and went for a simple, functional look. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Currently I only have a few projects on it, but I consider the site a work in progress and will be adding more in the future. Please visit the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">site at <a href="http://notb.co.uk/">notb.co.uk</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and let me know what you think.</span></div>
