Lee says:
during the incident

joedivola says:
i was pushing wheat on street corners at the time

Lee says:
wheat is pretty chronic

joedivola says:
you mightve been shooting up my high grade wheat

joedivola says:
actually it was just self-raising flour but it made coin

Lee says:
you gotta do what u gotta do

joedivola says:
when duty calls you stop drop and do it

joedivola says:
when nature calls you stop drop and do it

joedivola says:

joedivola says:
'why i hate my life'

Lee says:
haha

Lee says:
oh ssheeet

Lee says:
thats reminds me

Lee says:
i had a real phat blog idea to go with

Lee says:
oh yeah

Lee says:
people who apologise for shit they dont care about

Lee says:
was at work and i realised that every "older" class upstanding citizen apologises whenever they ask for a plastic bag. or i ask if they want one

Lee says:
or they say unfortunatly yeah i need one

Lee says:
etc

Lee says:
because it is trendy to hate plastic bags

joedivola says:
do they make a point of being embarassed about using plastic bags

Lee says:
embarassed

Lee says:
i wouldnt go that far

Lee says:
more like they dont want the pople around them to think there a bag using prick

Lee says:
50% of bag users

Lee says:
use the excuse "im walking"

Lee says:
as an excuse for taking a plastic bag

joedivola says:
what an absolute load of shit

joedivola says:
fakes

joedivola says:
as if they give a damn

Lee says:
they dont

Lee says:
but its trendy to care for the environment

Lee says:
which they arent doing. but pretening they want to!

joedivola says:
they probly get home and hit sheep or throw pesticide around

Lee says:
frolick in the blood of another human being

joedivola says:
would you breach the subject of the trendiness of cigarettes?

joedivola says:
its disputable and highly controversial

Lee says:
its plausible

joedivola says:
or is it busted

joedivola says:
do you think cigarettes are actually still trendy but everyone pretends they arent?

Lee says:
ohhh when you put it that way

Lee says:
yeah

Lee says:
"cigarettes are so gross.

Lee says:
give me 2 packs of PJ Gold plzzz

joedivola says:
i think people trying to quit are apparently even cooler because theyve decided they dont even need these to be cool

joedivola says:
but once you quit youre no longer cool

joedivola says:
thats why not many people can get thru the quitting stage

Lee says:
that is an extremly valid point

Lee says:
it must be looked into by the proper authorities asap

joedivola says:
raise it in your blog

lishy tiles

at first it was hard to decide what to do, so many ideas but where do i start? thats what i was asking myself. so i got my self ina little confuffle but than i finally sorted my self out. i learnt alot along the way with the tiles teaching me alot. It was a slow process at first but once i figured it out i was sweet as.. I am happy with the out come but near the end i was stressing about getting it done at time, once it was taken to the dodgy printers in burleigh n afta i had to sell a kidney to pay for it, i seen the changes i should of and wanted to make. so over all happy with what the outcome was .it was what i wanted to achive.

Wolff Olins vs Pentagram

Pentagram was founded in 1972 by five partners who all specialized in different areas of design. Pentagram is an organization with broad skills with many different specialties. They are design focused with seven partners each responsible for separate projects in their own specialised field. Pentagram is now one of the most well known design firms in the world. They provide a service across all forms of graphic design, from architecture t products to interior design.

It is a multi-disciplinary structure, organised around the equal partners who all practising designers. There is sometimes collaboration between the partners on projects, but they mostly work individually and one of the partners is always in overall control of each project. Their organisational structure resembles a spider’s web with the partners in the centre and working closely with the other staff. This allows for speedy decisions but can cause problems if the partners are inefficient.

Wolff Olins was founded in 1965, and is also, one of the most well known design companies in the world. Wolff Olins is primarily focused on corporate branding. Staff are grouped by job function and work on multiple projects simultaneously. There are three separate departments who work on separate floors (project managers, designers and consultants). All departments are interdependent. The organisation of work is task based. Value is placed on expertise and talent. Individual workers can therefore charge high prices which increases running costs.

The main difference between the two studios seems to be the delegation of power. Both are effective and both fit accordingly for the way each runs.

to.pitch.or.not.to.pitch - a forgotten shakespearean tale

It has been said that ‘the best things in life are free’.

It has also been said that you ‘don’t get anything for nothing’

So which is true?

Free pitching. Good idea or not?

I can’t say that I am with either polarity. I don’t entirely agree with it, and yet, I find myself unable to disregard it completely. We live in such a technologically advanced world, almost everyone owns or has access to a computer, and a rather startling majority of these, if not superbly technically proficient, can use Photoshop or some other imaging program to a basic degree. Even my own mother can cut out an image and put some text on it. I am constantly awed and surprised by the amount of talent out there, sites such a deviantart are inspirational as well as a humbling to me, reminding me just how competitive this area has become.

It is easy to turn to free pitching to attain that much revered leg up in the GD world. Older accomplished designers find it easy to sneer at it, but free pitching is a tempting route for the young and passionate looking for anything and anywhere to channel their creativity. When your young, perhaps still in school, entering these sort of things to kill free time and perhaps win something in the process, it seems harmless. A bit of fun, with the lure of a something nice at the end. But I see the other side, too, how it devalues the Graphic Design industry and most likely costs jobs. After all that I find myself sitting on the fence about the whole thing.

And I think I like it there.

Paolo- last blog

First of all I must say that has been a great and intense experience and I have learn a lot during the year. About this post I would probably recommend everyone to subscribe to a magazine. There are many good ones out there and sometimes they also come out with good cd full of useful fonts, photoshop brushes and other. They are reach of inspiration and they offer you a window to see what is going on out there in the graphic industry. I haven`t done it yet but I think I will, maybe just for next year. I always find a lot of inspiration in movies I just wanna recommend  a few that i really liked: FIGHT CLUB - DONNIE DARKO - LOCATIONS FOR AMELIE (LE FABULEUX DESTIN D`AMELIE POULAN better watching it in French with subtitles), GOOD WILL HUNTING, CLOVERFIELD, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, SCHOOL OF ROCK.

JOSH - free pitching

FREE PITCHING

Free pitching is a interesting topic because it is so easy to have a half half opinion.
Im so torn because in one point i agree with free pitching.
If i was an employee i would use the free pitching idea, that way i would be getting a few different ideas and methods with out having to pay for hours spent with each design. Also this could work in my benefit if i was to make the design job open to anyone that wanted to free pitch. i would also be getting alot of new and fresh ideas, something i may not get if i was using the same old employees overtime.
Although if i was the employer i dont think free pitching is very fair because not only are you not receiving any money for your ideas, your also competing for your ideas to even be used in the first place.
BUT if i was one of these people entering my ideas to a company i wasn't part of, i could receive future employment from doing so.

so in conclusion i can still see it from both sides.

:)

Jade's last blog for 2008

For this last blog I just wanted to share with you guys two of my favourite illustrators. I get a lot of inspiration from these two ladies and have been looking at their work (old and new) all year round.

JOSH-graphic design

To some up a year at kingscliff tafe studying graphic design is hard to put into words.
this year would have to of been my worse year since i was a little tacker.
- car accident at the start
- glandular fever
- cancer scare
-getting kicked out of home
to name a few
but i can honestly say that coming here mostly everyday and seeing everyone made me keep going.
i was always the kid that handed in the late assignments and spent most of the lesson talking.
but it helped alot :D
ive learnt alot of valuable things that have helped me broaden my creative horizons.
i think the biggest advantage of being in this class is the creative inspiration we all got from everyone.
i can't wait to see what the future holds for everyone.
i thank everyone for the rememberable experience.
cya sooooooonnnnnn

Tracy: follows on from Rossie's

Tracy’s thoughts on parenting.

 

If you follow Rossie’s advise on child rearing you will, all things considered, end up with a well-adjusted adult who doesn’t mind sharing important-even fun issues with you. At times this can get a bit uncomfortable, especially when their friends get together and they are discussing things that earlier generations may not have dreamed of sharing. Of course they think it’s hilarious if they see you becoming frazzled by the content, so in my experience it’s best to keep a straight face and accept what is being offered unless it is dangerous to themselves or others (then advise may be necessary). Quite often they will resolve these issues amongst themselves and they may just be bouncing off you in order to gauge your reaction.

 

Although we may not like to think about it, girls and boys are different in certain ways and as girls may be closer to their mothers through the adolescent years, boys can become distant, especially if they are fiercely independent. I was told that this would turn back around by about the age of twenty-three, and who-ever told me this was correct, as my little angel has become a likeable young man who shares. 

Gemma: The end of 2008

What was a daunting start to the year is now coming to an end; an end of a much anticipated and exiting year in which I hope to safely say, on the whole of the class, that we would feel that step closer towards our new career pathway.

Straight from high school and the de-stressing of the HSC, I felt as though this course would be the ideal option to landmark the start of a career in Graphic design. Now nearing the end of the fundamentals course I feel like it has done just that.
It’s a good feeling to finish off the year with some new skills, friends, teachers and inspiration to take away with you over the break and hopefully put to good use next year. With this all said, there are certainly some things that I have learnt which I hope to apply to next year in terms of the work load which I understand will be much greater than now.

This year I have learnt:
- Time management is the second most important key to completing any design, creativity and inspiration is the first
- If a design isn’t working, most often its easier just to start over with something new
- Indesign & Illustrator
- The more fonts you have, the longer it will take you to finish a project
- Crop and Bleed marks!

Things I hope to stick to in the future:
- Try to do thumbnails on the first day you get a brief
- Keep things organised – both on computer and in folders
- Have a time management plan
- Balance design with everyday life
- Have social time when it fits

ROGAN : My road to Kingscliff TAFE

Why i chose to study graphic design...

It all started in primary school when my dad brought me my first skateboard, i was blown away by the graphics it was a Santa Cruz deck, a bit of a retro throwback, it had big old Bones 'bomber' wheels.  I used this new toy to begin terrorizing my neighborhood. Soon the neighborhood was not enough, i began broadening my horizons, catching the train all over Brisbane in the unending search for spots.  It was then that i started noticing the graffiti along the train lines it was thoroughly inspiring.  I began taking paint and pens with me when i went out on skating missions and writing my name all over the city, at every opportunity.  Soon enough i was painting pieces on the lines and graffiti began to take precedence over skateboarding.  I began to build a name for myself even though few knew who i actually was, which was a really amazing feeling for me.  I would ride the train during the day and hear kids talking about my pieces, unbeknownst to them i would be standing right behind them or sitting in front of them.  When pieces of mine started getting published in globally distributed magazines i was able to network with other writers across the globe and it has given me some great opportunities to travel and live in a number of other countries and paint and party with kids from different cultures that are doing the same damn thing i started out doing all those years ago.  So basically it all started with skateboarding, i am still blown away by skate graphics and they have always influenced my graffiti art and design immensely.  So skateboarding lead to graffiti and i'm hoping graffiti leads me to a career as a designer.  Anyway, i'm not trying to promote graffiti even though i have definately gone off on a self-rant, but i am rather just trying to promote skateboard graphics as a wonderful branch of design, just check out work by Ed Templeton or Mike Giant, or even graffiti artists turned fine artists like Barry McGee or Todd James.  These guys have been great influences on me and their work speaks volumes.

FONTOLOGY- Kurt-

Well after all is said and done it,s been a great year and i've had lots of fun learning about all the different sides to Graphic Design. I don't know why but i guess i can say i've got a problem, that i really dig Typography and i,m a Fontoholic.
So as a present to you all if you go to my drop box on the College server there is a massive Font collection (sorry Mac only)
for you all to copy and use in the future (make sure not to just drag and drop this, hold the option key when dragging and dropping).
Yeh so Enjoy!! cheers thanks for a great year!!

Govinda - The Forgotten Tiles Blog Post

The first tiles blog that I forgot about

I’ve been having a hard time trying to come up with a concept for this tile project. The whole visual metaphor thing is spinning me out. I wanted to explore a medium that either I’m not familiar with to challenge myself, or use photography.

I couple of my ideas:

1. Use typography and colour to explore the roles of members in a design practice. Use a variety of fonts to represent the different roles. For example, a clean, bold and mature font representing the art director.
2. Use photography to explore developing strategies to stay abreast of industry trends and directions.
3. Use ink and paint to explore the journey or process of design.

I am leaning towards number 3 as it will be more interesting than the 1 and easier than 2.

Rosalind -Something to share

I've had a little think about what I'd like to share with everybody and decided on ... useful facts on how to bring up a child because aside from Tracy I'm the only other one in our group who has a child, unless any of you have any secret love children out there that none of us know about.

1. Talk to your child in proper english, no goochie goo rubbish, believe me they are not that stupid.

2. Don't make idle threats unless you intend to see them through; children are experts at winding you round their fingers and getting their way.

3. Let them watch lots of animal documentaries so when the dreaded "how do you make babies?" question comes up, you can relay it back to the animals, much less confrontational.

4. Remember, up until a child is around 10 years old their brains don't judge distance and speed very well, no walking to school by themselves.

5. Laugh a lot it keeps everyone happy.

6. Last but not least never stop watching cartoons.

So hopefully some of these pointers may be useful later on in life. Have a great Christmas and New Year everyone.

Cheers

PS Boys if you want to have children don't wear pants like these!!!!

Graphic Design

Is There A Future

Every one is talking about the credit crunch, a looming depression, an economic downfall. What ever happens, it is obvious that we are in for some harder times. Money will be tight. People will not be spending like they use to and some industries will be hit harder than others. This brings me to the question: will people still need graphic design?

This could go two ways. Companies may, in all the reclining money dilemmas, begin spending more on advertising and marketing to try and keep their sales alive. This would keep up a sufficient amount of work for the competitive graphic design industry.

Or the workload will dry up. Advertising budgets could be cut and with many companies going bust and closing down, there could be a huge decline in the need for graphic design.

Were does this leave us. Young graphic designers just starting out in an already established and competitive industry may find it hard to find any work.

Hopefully the effects of this financial crisis wont hit too soon, and we will have an opportunity to get ourselves going in the industry before it all goes sourer.

Abby’s interests

I am very interested in graphic design in a wide range of areas - web design, photography and general graphic design. “DG magazine” is very good. They always have tutorials for photoshop. They have good descriptions about graphic design techniques. They have advertisements and information for software and mac computers, which I love. Every year they make a Portfolio of people’s work, it is very interesting work they also include web design too. This is good because I want to learn ideas for web design to make a photo web gallery on a web site. They advertise events like design conferences and festivals. I have sometimes been to some of these interesting events.
I like another magazine “Desktop” it is similar to DG, it also has good links and good information to give me ideas. I love both magazines and any magazines about photography. I like to learn from them, they show a lot about people’s work and give me ideas for the future.

Have a look web site DG http://www.dgdesignnetwork.com.au/dgdn/tag/graphic-design/ and Desktop http://www.desktopmag.com.au/

Abby’s Hallway Project:

I researched and brainstormed what the eight different panels could be about. I did thumbnails for all the ideas from the brainstorm. I talked to the client and they suggested that maybe I could do a visual communication with sign (Auslan) about Graphic Design methods and so I researched to look for the right signs and updated my thumbnails. I took the photos of my hands making the signs, then traced the sign photos using the path tool in Photoshop then sent them to Illustrator and added colours. I feel happy with my work. It looks good and is a good visual representation of sign language. It shows people interesting things about Deaf culture sign language for Graphic Design. I didn’t have any problems with my time management and planning. I am happy that I found a good print shop, Dynamic Digital. They make sticky paper. I am very impressed with the print quality. All the colours look lovely. I made a little mistake with the wrong size for the trim and bleed. I will do more practice to get the trim and bleed size right at home.

In work by the class: I like Kurt’s work. It was good how he used bananas to guide through the panels. I also liked the photos of gorillas. Roz is very good at drawing with colours. Paolo had a clever idea of using his face in different contexts. Leilani had nice drawings with very interesting titles. Tracy’s background texture is very interesting. Rogan did good drawings of his face. Tané’s circus titles were very interesting. The people appeared 3D. In Alicia’s work, the lady’s face with different colours and textures on each panel are nice.

I enjoyed that course.

Its like this

The most astonishing reason why street mimes are generally creepy is that they refuse to accept the current transport system or even acknowledge that blue vein cheese is such an essential part of our diet alongside the recommended daily intake of awkward silence (bus stop or otherwise) and public confusion which are both just rebellious outcries against the tyranny of the so-called blimp industry which is, as we speak, just realising that lamb is obsolete and should be replaced by tantalisingly crunchy grasshopper snacks as soon as we get rid of the fascist moths in the attic who seem to be watching my every move which wouldn't be too much of a fun hobby as I am reading a newspaper and how long would anyone want to watch someone read a newspaper for is the question scientists have been asking for decades only to be answered by a phone recording repeating 'please check the number and try again' or the big hairy chef guy behind the counter giving them a narrow eye and demanding that they try the shifty lunch specials or get out, which isn't a very logical way of presenting himself to the scientist he was attracted to at the time who had run away from the circus to join a catering firm, but could never forget the salad days at the freakshow circus where they point and laugh at the helpless midget in the bear suit who always wanted instead to be a sketchy fat chef standing behind the counter and giving the tourists that look which they misinterpret as a tough guy threat look but which is actually a misguided way of saying 'I love you, but get your foot off my toes because after a while my ingrown toenails will actually extend their range to ingrowing toes and even my whole foot seems to be ingrowing and has it really been six years?' he says through his puppy dog eyes which begin to leak from lack of vitamin F which astoundingly, can be found in 'Corn Bag', the new edible product range from Mattel but which is only sold in a remote part of Mexico, a place called 'El Muncho' which translated means 'if it's brown flush it down' in Spanish but seriously, consider this: their language should be called Mexican not Spanish because it just isn't Spain and anyhoo, why would anyone want to live in a place called Spain which sounds like 'pain' or 'slain' but actually means 'the road to el dorito', to borrow a cliche from an entirely different book titled 'El Dorito: The Road To' which amazes politicians as to how it remains unrelated because in reality, everything is related and we are all just dirty inbreds scrabbling for a piece of the big pie, yum yum; of course, not every reality show host has that opinion and I cannot stress this enough that people don't get stressed enough or have enough stresses to appease their pagan gods who are actually two neurotic kids in a hot air balloon with a megaphone singing 'oo la ley' which was a song not invented at the time so in a twisted way those kids were worthy of the sacrifices made by their people but hot dang, little did they realise that global warming would eventually pop their hot air balloon and they would shoot around with a funny high-pitched squeal before plummeting to the earth in horrid wreckage to which the village chief would react by saying that the gods weren't happy, maybe they were churning the butter wrong so they imported specialists to do it for them and that seemed to do the trick and the country prospered for yonks ever after, yet meanwhile the jealous neighbouring countries were silently plotting against them but they did it so silently it began to get awkward and they quickly moved the conversation on to other things, like contemplating how ancient Egypt got broadband coverage when they couldn't, it's so unfair, boo-hoo, luckily their fluffy pets rubbed up against their legs and they felt all better so that one of the most annoying wars in history was avoided, which could have taken on a pathetic reputation as the 'Nerd War' involving lame virtual conflicts and viruses being sent back and forth and bad comments being put on ancient Egypt's myspace to which they reacted with a hack into Pakistan's public relations webpage and modified it to include excessive swearing and references to the 'infidel white race' which ensured that their tourism industry was fatally damaged and the poor guys in the Pakistani pizza carts relying on the tourists for business went bankrupt, and the bank itself rupted as the entire economy fell into ruin because those poor pizza guys constitute 95% of the Pakistani food industry but it wasn't all that bad, because without all the chubby sunburnt english tourists the locals had more time to pursue their ACE courses in curry studies in piece, I mean peace, damn those simple mistakes to Heck because I remember being told one time about a small child who worked for one of the largest newspaper companies in the world, who had been found murdered soon after he let loose the worst typo in history, a front page header written originally as 'Mucking Up On The Beach' but when the kid edited it, a letter F came into play but we shall leave that story to the mists of history as I seem to be avoiding the real issue here, the troubling fact that you are staring at my crotch with a hungry look in your eyes which is beginning to frighten me and my teddy bear Gustav, the bear with attitude and a thick German accent who likes to dance and gosh darn it, they say he is a damn good dancer but only when he is happy and he knows it and claps his hands which gets me to thinking: is the happy a result of the hand-clapping or are you really only happy when you know it - but deep thinking like that always lands me in front of the psychiatrist who stares at me with a moustache before writing something on his notepad which I later found out was his 'dear diary' entry for the day, detailing what he ate for breakfast and how it tasted and how many molecules were in each crunch and why, all the while thinking to himself 'I never wanted to be a psychiatrist, i wanted to be.... a lumberjack' but he tried that bit already and the pay maybe wasn't too great, but on the plus side you could be okay and work all night and sleep all day, hang on, that was another darn typo which I would rather blame on the pen because last time I blamed myself for something, I ended up in front of the same psychiatrist who seemed a little different to before, a little hairier and scratching his bum and repeatedly offering me peanuts, which after I turned down for the fifth time, let loose an ear-piercing shriek, attacked me with his teeth and ran out of the room in ape-like fury but don't give me that look, he wasn't really a monkey because how many monkeys get to go through university to get a Ph D in psychiatry and how many monkeys can fake qualifications like real psychiatrists do when in fact they are actually janitors in disguise getting some side cash and while they're at it, getting in on some of the psychiatrist 'free love' communities and conning some more people into they's pyramid schemes which were originally devised by ancient Egypt while a drug raid was going down next door and it was a good tafe course I learnt a lot and had lots of fun amen.
