Anyways! A couple of weeks ago I mosey-ed on down to the Liverpool School of Art & Design to check out their 2012 degree show - in particular to see the what the Graphic Arts class had produced (as I completed my course there about 3 years ago now! How scary is that?)
Here are just a couple of photos of work that caught my eye:
(I particularly liked this illustrative style - lovely and flowing, wish I could draw hair that amazingly!)
(This one made me giggle!)
(I really liked this work - it made my noggin' think! The designer behind this piece decided to write for 24 hours non-stop and publish the work - but rather than showing everything they wrote, the designer used a font that replaced all letters with blocks - except for 'I', 'me', 'myself', etc etc; and also providing a summary of the topics the designer was writing about. I liked it! It was interesting - it made me want to do it as well!)
(I love watercolours, coupled with shoes makes it all good!)
I would have to say I was a bit disappointed in the lack of animation/interactive work on display in the show, as that was my specialism when I completed the course, but oh wello, perhaps more people are losing interest in it? (As there were not many people tackling animation in my university days!)
BUT, on another note, I really really like the booklet that accompanied the Graphic Arts exhibition! I thought it was printed on lovely paper, and the layout of all the students work looked great on it - taking full advantage of the space!
So there ya go! I had a fun time at the private viewing, and got to see a few people I hadn't seen in a rather long time, which was nice!
I'm afraid the degree show is over now, as I've been a busy bee and not had time to write about it till now! My apologies! But, you can go check out the students' website here: Edition 2012! So go check it out!! Its a really nice website done in the same style as the booklet I was discussing earlier! (I really wish I could remember the proper name for that booklet!
And to say farewell, one picture I took of the one of the pieces at the Fine Art exhibition - I'm pretty impressed with the plumbing system the student set up for this fountain!
Now back to my back-scratching!
