I wasn't sure where to start a thread like this. As a designer and musician I like to entertain in any way I can. To this end I'll often make movie posters and wallpapers in my favourite style. The 'Simple but Bang on' style. I don't use filters if I can help it and try to take a single element...

This shall be my first post here. I agree with the above poster. Comic Sans shall forever be unanimously hailed as the Satanic Works of Typography by all designers.

Heh. Nobody was commenting anyway. So I can't be arsed to fix it.

So. The aim of this purpose is to create a personal web page that is AS simple as possible. No bells or whistles, just something that reflects my love of minimalism whilst having everything the viewer needs from me with as little hassle as possible. Best viewed in-browser full view...

Dunno if any of you have ever heard of this, but to use it is a dream! Much better than Dreamweaver (if you can believe it). Panic - Coda - One-Window Web Development for Mac OS X Some youtube info...

It's not an email address I use, however. Which is why I used it on the businesscard. So as many 'strangers' can send as many emails as they like unsolicited and I wont care.

There's Advertising and then there's "Toxic-Advertising" or 'Info-polluting'. And I hadn't neglected the fact that theres advertising on billboards and, well, everywhere you go. The point is that the level of advertising on the internet today is such that it directly violates what the internet...

Yes, but Google is not what it was. It is a traitor to its ideology and if it is to be the Librarian of the Internet then we face great danger. Google initially maintained that if a Search Engine advertised, then it would always be biased to the advertisers. They wanted a simple, fast...

Two more posters for the campaign.

This will be the first of many posters (but this shall be the 'title poster') I shall be making. The idea behind this is that Google represents a threat to us. If it is to be the librarian of the Internet then we are all in big trouble. It controls our daily routine too much. People don't...

Quite so. Hence using comedy songs to highlight the potential dangers of drinking too much in 'studentese'. After all, nobody wants to go to bed with Cindy Crawford and wake up with Susan Boyle.

Cheers renniks, It's only rough. Initial. Will be taking on board the advice and using it. I just wanted the poster to be a bit funny, so yeah. :)

At some point during proceedings I shall have to reveal this to corona, so I just wanted some opinions. I wanted it to be fun but simple. Relate to students (the biggest drinkers by far) and typographical (there's not enough of it around). So i decided to use the Weird Al song 'Nine Coronas'...

Dos Logos [the book] has a pretty good section on video games logos. Worth checking out for inspiration.

Sometimes I do cheap work for student bands so that outfit is not as professional as the professional outfit I run day to day. Besides. Students really aren't as bright as all that. I once met a student nurse who believed - with a straight face - that the sun was closer to the Earth than the...
