New York
Next week I am going on a trip to New York with college! I have been trying to organise some portfolio visits while I am there as I think it will be a great experience. I have teamed up with my friend Kat and so far we have got 2 visits between us, one at Barbour Design and the other at Coffee Cup Design. I will update my blog with how things went when I get back!
Rave Flyers
This year I have been writing my dissertation. I have always been interested in rave culture and the graphics that are produced along side this culture so I decided to focus my essay on it. I have found some interesting images during my research, although not all them have particularly amazing graphics, I think they are quirky and have a certain charm to them. Below are a certain set of flyers that I particularly like, they contain an element of parody to them, often referencing drugs and partying...!
Contact: Barbour Design
As part of Trip to New York we have been asked to arrange some portfolio visits with some NY agencies, I have been emailing a few companies and today got a reply from Barbour Design, the designer Ava invited me and my friend Kat to go into the studio which we are really looking forward to!

Berber Soepboer Dresses
These are some dresses designed by Berber Soepboer, my favourite is the first one. A colour in dress!
Anti-Theft Lunch Bags
While browing through the Design Milk blog today I came across these Anti-Theft Lunch Bags. They made me laugh so thought i'd share them!
Container PLUS
Today I went to a lecture given by one of the designers, Luise Vormittag, from Container Plus.This company combines illustration, photography and set design as well as other elements of art and design. They work across a multitude of 2D and 3D platforms exploring different techniques and ideas. The team often collaborate with different people in order to get the best out of their idea.
Container PLUS often work on self initiated briefs and well as commercial ones, giving them the opportunity to explore new techniques and experiment. One self initiated brief that Luise presented to us can be seen below.
The Evil Twins: THE WRITERS STORY
Below is a more commercial project they did for launch of Volkswagen's FOX. The team had to design 4 rooms in a hotel as part of the brief.
I really enjoyed this lecture, it was more illustration based than graphics and I really liked the style of the work. I think it is always good to look at other areas of design and learnt that collaboration is important.
