A Tuseday's work


This is my autumn - steps in Sydney on big leafs.
Sorry for that some of the pictures are tilted!

This is my gift for people attending my brand event. The event will be as following, inspired by the blue plastic transparency of my brand folio. This is a quick draft of it: For my launch event I wanted something different, fun, a bit adventurous and outside, a warm summer day. I got inspired by and wanted to use transparency, as the one used in my branding. Also, I wanted to engage and activate the people attending to make the atmosphere warm and relaxed. At the sunny astroturf rooftop of Vibe Hotel I will have a pool mingle party for my guests. I chose that place because of the view and the feeling of being in the air, flying. Next to the pool there will be a huge blown up plastic bird, the same as my logo, which will also be seen from the ground and the surroundings. There will be real palm trees, flowers and other plants. The trees and larger plants will be full of my business cards; birds sitting everywhere. In the background there will be tropical bird sounds accompanied with jazz music to maintain a relaxing atmosphere. When people come, they need to wear swimming clothes underneath their party clothes. Also, when entering the party, they will be given a snorkeling gift kit in a Kolibri Design Studio packaging. This will be used to be able to look at my work, which will be in the bottom of the swimming pool. Warm towels will be handed out afterwards, together with a fresh caiprinha drink filled with lime. There will be served small fruit salads in blue plastic cups with hot melted chocolate, passion fruit seeds and eatable flowers as garnishment. The event will be from 3 pm to 6 pm.

(Be barefooted!
Maybe use kites in the shape of my bird)

This is brainstorming training which we got today at the Frameworks of Design lesson. Come up with anything creative out of these crosses in 5 minutes. I won a pin for being the best one!

This is some try - spreads for my process book in Typography and context - Type, a love story based on me getting to know type through this semester for the first time in my life. Maybe I am starting to fall for Type, maybe not. To know how the story ends - read my process book!

This is the A2 poster printed out in black and white just to get a better grip on the relationship between the elements. It didn’t work to print it out in colour in this size though, for some strange reason, but I’ll try again in A3 or something, because I need to see how the colours works before I send it to print. To print an A2 poster on a printer where there is just A3 papers, simply go into the menu when in InDesign, go to print, A3, setup and then chose “Tile” - auto and 0 mm. Then it will come out as 4 A3 pages that you can put together!

In half an hour I will go with my group member (for the symbol distribution w the flags - thing) to her place somewhere at the countryside one hour away!! I'll meet her family and experience a place outside Sydney! I am so looking forward to that. Tomorrow we'll gt up really early, like 5 because she usually do that, and start creating the world map in the grass consisting of all our collected flags! Also, we'll start to edit the film that we'll be using in the presentation. See you soon!

OJ! Vad mycket det händer hos er, och vad duktig du är! Type-spreaden ser kanon ut, affischen för letters likaså. Ditt event vill man ju bara vara med och snorkla lite på!
