A few links for those who wish to dabble in their creative side and blend the line between fashion and personal costume. The Sneaker design section drew the most of my attention but it would be cool to make a wedding dress out of 1960's romance comic covers. Heh, 'Bride of Lichenstein'.

Congratulations and kudos

Congratulations to Sarah Wright-Smith for making it into the finals of the AGDA Poster Annual Exhibition, and much kudos to my fellow creatives for their submissions too - Artisan http://www.getartisan.com.au ran a great brainstorming session which gave us a chance to write, brainstorm, review and discuss design over a few slices of pizza - nice work everyone!

240 is a lucky number right?

Since the public/designer's public outcry at the not terribly appealing new GAP logo, there's been call to submit redesigns. My entry is number 240 and I'm happy to say that it's sits well against some of the better submissions.

I've used the font Titillium Maps which is lovely and legible, it speaks to me of being modern without throwing out the past. A main part of the redesign is the stitching square, the frame for the type. It's slightly askew just to make the name have a tiny bit of movement in the 'gap' I've made for it. Thinking practically the stitching square could be used so much as part of the new logo that in some cases you could do away with the logo and use it for promotional copy or even washing instructions.

You can catch the redesign frenzy over at Scott Hansen's portfolio blog http://blog.iso50.com or more directly via the link above. Cheers!

Oh and the layout and typography for http://posterannual.agda.com.au/index/gallery/vote/type/all/pg/7/entry/551 is mine as well.
The words and idea is from the lovely Sarah Nestor who was looking for a designer to pull it all together.

The process was a lot of fun and there's some excellent work in the gallery (but you know you should probably vote for the balloon)

I want the future

I long for the day that Nikola Tesla’s vision of free electricity fills the sky.
Vehicles of Air, Land and Sea fueled by a shared goal.
Our planet pulsed by wiilectric power for all of it’s inhabitants.
And the web fills the air with oceans of information, readily acessible.
I’ll carry a bud in my tooth or even skull – to transcend this human present.
To never forget a name or face, to be able to share thought as well as voice.
To work by drawing in space, from spreadsheet to sculpture.
I want the future.
