During November 2008, we went on a trip to uni to Barcelona, Spain.
While we were there we had been given a brief to record our time there by video.
Then when we got home we were to create a video of our time out there in a short movie.
I chose the most interesting videos i made and combined them together using iMovie to create this :

Durex Balloon's
This Url was actually on one of my friends on facebooks status.
I clicked on it wondering what it was and came across this.
I thought it was very clever being animated using durex condoms.
I really enjoyed watching this video.

Cadbury's Advert
I saw this advert on tv the other day and it made me laugh.
Its a very funny advert obviously done using computer programs to create the children's eyebrows moving! I really liked this video and things like this really interest me.

Crisis Brief
One of our recent briefs we were given was one for the homeless help charity 'Crisis'.
The aim was to come up with direct mail that will attract people to wanting to help the charity Crisis, by donating money each week.
I had a few ideas but my final one originated from one of my first ideas of sending a piece of old blanket, used by a child through the door of the client.
I then developed it to being covered in mud and dirt and having the words ' Comfort Blanket' handwritten on one side. This was to attract the attention of the client after seeing a dirty child's comfort blanket on the floor with their post. after creating two comfort blankets i had the idea of using a stuffed toy as well as a blanket, i chose a stuffed Rat. It was originally my dogs toy so was already chewed up and dirty and scruffy looking. I then put them both in plastic clear bags to they wouldnt dirty the clients house and stuck a card in there with the details of crisis. I think they both worked well as it would shock you to think a child would be using that blanket and playing with that toy if they really were homeless.
As you can see on the photo below, the Rat was stolen off the wall at college so it is missing.

Tal Rosner
Another lecture we had was from a Multimedia designer called Tal Rosner.
As he was more of a multimedia designer i didnt think i would like this lecture as much, but i was surprised that i enjoyed it.
He made a film about trains, from lots of little 3second films that he put all together to create the final film. it made me feel abit dizzy as it was a confusing film with the images going upside down alot.
He also created an installment to be shown behind a large Orcestra in london whilst they were playing. i thought this was good as the video behind really related to the speed and aggression of the music being played infront.
Finally Skins...
He also created the opening sequence played in the TV series 'Skins' shown on Channel 4.
I really enojyed this part as i love the series skins and it was good to know that he created it.
He created series 1 and 2 and was currently creating series 3 as he gave the lecture.

Truth, Lies and Typography
We recently had a lecture from a small design company called "truth".
The company is only made up of two people, they came in to present their work they have been recently working on to us graphic design students.
I thought there work was really good and interesting. Both of the designers used to work for McCann-Erickson, one of the biggest design/advertising companies in the world.
Darren from truth was very interesting in typography and designing his own type faces, he has created many different styles over the years such as :
- Sodium Typeface - created in 2000
- Bad Angel Typeface - created in 1999
- Rub On Typeface - created in 1997
- Berliner Typeface - created in 1996.
- Nitrogen typeface - created in 2003
- Mechanic Gothic - created in 1999
- Aggregate Typeface - created in 2006
- Amplifier Typeface - created in 2006
- Como Typeface
- Rivolvzioni Typeface
- Imprimitur Typeface
- Piccadilly Typeface
As well as designing typefaces Truth are a very successful company and get lots of jobs to advertise for known brand companies.
Below is a list of some of the work they have done for various companies:
- 'Allsports' bags
- Sony Card for Song
- First Advice - created logo for this company in 24hrs!
- British Council
- Cristies logo
- The authentic Food Company
- No1 Son Record Company
- Durex
- Richard Seamoore - sex toy packaging
- Logo for 'Fat Hog Paintbrushes'
- Reebok adverts with Amir Khan
- Posters for 'Yorkshire Wheels' and 'faces'.
I really enjoyed this lecture as alot of the work they showed us i had seen out in the open and they had actually designed it, it also made it seem more real to be designing out in the real world.
