ERIK SPIEKERMANN

So we all got to choose one of the selected typographers out of a hat, well i say hat... it was a box that holds the REALLY NICE pens... that happend to have a hole in the top!... 

anyway thats neither here nore there.... I chose Erik Spiekermann!.... which im really glad about.. because i like his work!... nothing like mine... very slick.. uses/overuses helvetica... but uses it well!... and ive seen some documentaries with him featuring and hes a very funny man!... he is quite the character!

The Start of the 'big Kahuna'!!... apparently meant to be the most industry based unit.. and the one people get work from the most!.... so im pretty stoked about starting this!

We will basically be using a website with loads of broadcasts by famous typographers... transcribing what the say and making that into a piece of design work .. and eventually a book on in design.

very excited!

basically its a zine, tackling issues such as homelessness and making people ethically aware of stuff!.... its good....

i was asked to illustrate an article on sweat shops...

Today we had group tutorials... and i used this to get some well needed feedback to drive my work to that finishing line!

looking at everyone elses.... i was panicking about my own work!.... but when am I not!!

I actually got some really pleasant feedback from supporting staff and from peers!...

They all said that they liked my animated style.... it really captured my usual style just animated!... which is good!... and also they gave me suggestions as to where i should go with the last half of the animation!

helpfull stuff!
