Ivan Chermayeff - Below is some work by Ivan Chermayeff, who works for a Graphic design company Chermayeff & Geismar. I came across his work whilst on noisy decent graphics...

Real or Fake

I was searching through the internet and came across a page about images that are taken and whether or not they are real or fake. I found this really interesting as it just goes to show that by using image minipulation it is easy to make something so simple look like something else.

Neville Brody

Neville Brody is a designer who I always look at for inspiration. Neville Brody is a British designer and art director, has now been at the forefront of graphic design for over two decades. He designed many different fonts such as Acadia, Industria, Insignia, He was one of the founding members of FontWorks in London and designed a number of notable typefaces for them. He was also partly responsible for instigating the FUSE project an influential fusion between a magazine, graphics design and typeface design.

I found this peice of work by Brody and it really caught my eye. I like design work that is done purely typograpghical. As long as it works, this I find really does.
Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name largely through his revolutionary work as Art Director for The Face magazine. He was also partly responsible for instigating the project Fuse, an influential fusion between a magazine, graphics design and typeface design.

Fake ID

FAKE ID consist of 2 people named Joshua Trees and Ivan Martinez. They met in San Francisco a number of years ago after Ivan had achieved a Masters in Mathematics but wanted to do something related to design. Joshua was already based in the area of Graphic design and Fine Art. Joshua and Ivan came in and we worked with us on a project that involved making sound and a dialogue an image. Me and Sarah were given an image of a man playing a keyboard. We had to study the picture then come up with a dialogue that would fit around it without directly commenting on what was goin on in the picture. Below is our scipt.

Bee

Life is fun being a bee. The amount of things you see is great and very exciting as nobody is aware that your there. Oh what do we have here… its looks like a party. Hmm ill go and explore. What is that unusual object, it’s a large round thing that has a large 18 written on it. It also has a type of ribbon hanging from it that’s tied to a chair; I think it will try an escape if it’s untied. I’m hungry, I’m going to try and go and find some food I can nibble on. What is in that giant bowl filled with? It looks quite scary to me up here, what if I fall in it?? Il end up drowning and dying, think I’m going to move away from this bowl. Ok I have found some triangular objects filled with some sort of red stuff, they look nice but it’s not my type of food. Woahhhh watch out I always get batted out of the way and cheers now I’ve been flung across the grass and on the floor. Ouch that really hurt, think they’ve damaged my leg. Ok time to have another fly around. Iv have just landed on something sticky, my feet seem to be stuck ohhh nooo it’s like quick sand what am I going to do? I think is food oh crap he’s picked up the food and im heading towards his mouth HELP MEEEE!!!. Oh thank god I have just fallen off and managed to fly away…lucky escape! Oooo I am tired after all this flying around ill go and have a rest on that leaf over there ( pause ) arrr that’s better, these lil wings don’t last as long as they used to. This party is getting busier and everyone seems to be having a good time, im not sure bout his music though. Where are the words???? Oh no drinks gone flying over the table, hahaha that girls white dress isn’t white any more…arghhhhhhh!! That’s my rest over, stupid wind always blows me off the leaves!! Arwel lets continue to go and find out something interesting. This table is very messy, looks like I will have some fun in here; I think that tall brown thing looks interesting. Ewwww it has sum sticky stuff around the edges, mmmm it tastes good though? What is this? Everyone around seems to be drinking it. Arrrrrrrrrrrrr…….(splash) hellpppp!!! Hellooooooo im stuck……bbblleeee bllleeeee blllleeeee…..

Daniel Eatock - A Thank You Picture. Incidents, alignments, coincidences, view points, temporary situations and other small things that often go unnoticed. The Pictures are conceptual observations not photography. The image is not as important as the content and the title is as much a part of the work as the photograph*

50 cars = 1 bus

Whilst on the Creative review website I noticed this Post which really caught my attention. This was done by Acne, It was made to look like a Flygbussarna coach it was built from 50 cars by the side of the main road to Stockholm airport. The Purpose was to encourage people to use the bus to get to the airport instead of driving.

Usp creative Liverpool

I emailed USP creative and i got a response from Rob Milner agreeing to organise a time to meet up to look at my portfolio.

Unfortunately I am still waiting for a reply. I am going to do a follow up email just incase he has forgotten. Hopefully I will then organise a visit with it.
