FACEPOCALYPSE

I just skimmed through this Lego redesign project and thought it was worth sharing. If you grew up with Lego, have an interest in design, or just like pretty pictures then you will certainly enjoy it. There are some great insights in there and a very functional (but aesthetically awesome) toy design process courtesy of a Swedish videogame artist named Niklas Jansson.

Went to the 2nd session of a 3-part fashion illustration/design course today at which there was an hour of life drawing, with easels and all! Unfortunately I missed the first half hour, but here’s a 10 minute pose.

The rest of the workshop consisted of fashion design with a focus on recycling and combining old clothes. Creativity and craziness was encourage. I started work on a ‘pant hat’, and will likely publish the final result after the final session in 2 weeks. I’m totally reinventing belts as headwear though. Remember where you heard it first – I’m the next fashion pioneer.

I designed this poster for the Team Fortress 2 demoman vs soldier propaganda contest. Just something pretty simple with limited colours.

I was gonna add text (taglines) but decided to keep it visual.

I also submitted a version with this logo at the top:

There were some minor trials with the ‘t’ for this logo so I ended up redoing it with an unmistakable ‘t’.

Here’s the final version:

And the heavily debated version (across 3 posts):

Now… Read on for an insight into development. Beware: lengthy post.

Nick took the liberty of fixing the logo for me:

Thanks, Nick! *dusts hands* My work here is done.

To see more of his work come along to the Summer exhibition! Only 2 weeks away!

Also, there’s an eventface here.

Water, water, and more water.

So the last one definitely reads as elite, amirite? Although I made ‘lit’ slightly closer (fixed the kerning) for the pic below:

I think it’s between the first and last… Or the way way back original one. hah

PS. Thankyou all for your feedback!

Is there any doubt as to what this says? Is this dumbing it down to an unnecessary extent (see Greg’s comment on the previous post)?

I’ve reduced the incline to 5degrees and extended the crossbar.

Also here’s a comparison with the old incline:

Technology – crazy stuff.

Zap.

Spent the afternoon tidying up the typography I’d proposed originally for Goodnight Tiger, as this was the girls’ favourite option. The type needed to be vectorised and have all the curves cleaned up.

Pez and Jill have taken very warmly to it. Great success!
