The calendar design (14/5/2023)

The calendar design was started from blank piece of canvas and evolve through a “conversation” method inspired by Nicholas Blechman. The “conversation” is a process that multiple authors exchanged drawings or photos using their smart phones. The only rule was that the conversation be non-verbal. https://www.nicholasblechman.com/conversation-1

(This is a recreation, not the real photo. There are problems with recorded footage) The rules: Only numbers and shape try not to use shape tools (free hand if possible) if you cant come up with idea you can pass if both side pass the conversation end

PODCAST: R. O. Blechman

That was the first drawing I saw by R. O. Blechman. I loved it instantly. Firstly, it’s a great observation of how companies operate, particularly ad agencies. But also, I was in the ideas business and I’d never seen them represented like that – in different levels from a tiny lightbulb to an enormous chandelier. I also loved the naive style of the drawing. It looked like a note one naughty child…

The AIGA Guide to Careers in Graphic & Communication Design⁣⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What #graphicdesign is, what #designers need to know, and who becomes a designer have all evolved as the computer went from being a tool to also becoming our primary medium for communication. How jobs are advertised and how prospective candidates communicate with prospective employers have changed as well, as has the culture and context for many workplaces, requiring new approaches for how to find your first (and last) position. The book includes interviews with over 40 designers at all levels working in-house and out-of-house in studios, consultancies, or alone, including: Nicholas Blechman, The New Yorker; Rob Giampietro, Google; Njoki Gitahi, IDEO; Hilary Greenbaum, Whitney Museum; Holly Gressley, Vox Media; Cemre Güngör, Facebook; Natasha Jen, Pentagram; Renda Morton, The New York Times; and Alisa Wolfson, Leo Burnett Worldwide. Through clear prose, a broad survey of contexts where designers find themselves in the present day, and interviews with designers, The #AIGA Guide to Careers in Graphic and Communication Design is an invaluable resource for finding your place in this quickly changing and growing field.

Artist Research: Christoph Niemann and Nicholas Blechman

A very interesting series of images. Niemann and Blechman has put very different elements together, and make them talk to each other. Excellent imagination and interesting ideas.

Everyday Connections: Typology, Chronology & Continuity

In this weeks seminar, we looked at Typology, Chronology & Continuity.

Typology

A system used for putting things into groups according to how they are similar and the study of how things can be divided into different types.

Reference

Water Towers by Bernd Becher and Hilla Becher (1972-2009)

Reference

Swimming Studies by Leanne Shapton (2012)

Chronology

The arrangement of events or dates in the order of their occurrence.

Reference

Every Building on the Sunset Strip by Ed Ruscha (1966)

Reference

Walking the Dog by David Hughes (2009)

Reference

Study of a Horse at Full Gallop by Eadweard Muybridge (1878)

Continuity 

The unbroken and consistent existence or operation of something over a period of time/a distinct break in physical continuity or sequence in time.

Reference

Conversations by Nicholas Blechman & Christoph Niemann (2017)

Reference

The Fat Fat Club by Aude Debout & Caroline Lollo (2012)

Reference

The Sound of Two Songs: Poland, 2004 - 2009 by Mark Power

Reference

China Days: A Visual Journal from China’s Wild West by Henrik Drescher (2014)

Task

For this weeks seminar, once again we were asked to take at least 50 photos and then bring 25 of those in, plus the photos from last week.

Below are the new additions I brought in.

With the addition of the new pictures, we categorised all the images we had into typology, chronology and continuity. 

Typology 

Chronology

The photos are ordered from the oldest to most recently taken.

The oldest subject taken vs the youngest subject.

I thought it was a funny observation that in the first photo, the grass was the first image I had taken for the project, yet was the youngest subject I photographed. 

Continuity
