March 29th “Floating Fashionably”

March 30th, 2010 § 0



88|365

I was called upon today to consult on the branding of an Emily Carr undergraduate thesis project. Issues such as naming and typography were addressed in the meeting for the project, which is an attempt to recontextualize personal floatation devices as a fashionable and potentially lifesaving accessory.

My suggestion for the project name (see above) was summarily rejected.

Note: The background image is, somewhat inexplicably, an extruded 3D grayscale mesh of a self-portrait. Ugh, I think I need to start getting more sleep.

2010|365: A Design Project
In an effort to keep from getting creatively stagnant as I go through the course of a 9-5 design job, as well as staving off general laziness, I’ve undertaken this personal project.
Every day, rain, shine or somewhere inbetween, I will be making something cool. The results may be photos, design pieces, experimental type, videos, or anything else I feel is worth showing. The only caveat will be that each piece will have to be made that day, even though it might not get posted on the same day.
The end result of the project will be a book (possibly 365 pages long, maybe shorter to reduce costs), which I will make available to anyone who wants to pay for one.

March 28th “Warning: Stoves Kill Cats”

I really don’t know why I love making infographics of cats in peril so much.
Maybe it’s a side effect of the allergies.

I can say with near-absolute certainty, this is my favorite icon/pictograph ever.
I’m not sure whether that makes me a bad person or not.

March 26th “Good & Plenty”

I’d be lying if I said I like this candy, but I’ve been completely in love with the packaging since ladyfriend brought some home.

Graphic enough to suit Saul Bass, and type so cuddly it puts VAG Rounded to shame. Love it!

Yearly Consumption: A little bit of desingy self-reflection.

Extra points if you can tell the brand.

83|365

Yearly Consumption: A little bit of desingy self-reflection.
Estimated Annual Cigarette Consumption: 4,160
Disclaimer: While this does reflect the amount of cigarettes I will purchase, the amount physically consumed will vary dependent on current generosity levels, friend’s income levels, and amount of persons encountered who "only smoke when I party"

Extra points if you can tell the brand.

March 22nd “Penitent Parakeet”

A fictitious vintage from the Stokoe Family Vineyards in honor of my late grandfather Frank’s birthday. He was an avid maker and drinker of wine. Miss you granpa.

I guess it could also be considered a tribute to my very very late parakeet Rocky.
Named for the boxer.
