This is a Re-blog from Designcloud. I thought this artwork was fascinating and inspirational as the artist has persevered for three years in order to complete the final look. It definitely inspiration, not just for designers, but for people everywhere that shows motivation can go a long way.
designcloud: 10,000 Origami Flowers by James Roper Artist James Roper created 10,000 origami flowers - making, on average, ten per day, everyday, for three years of his life. Roper received no outside help and he calls the beautiful, shape-shifting installation Devotion. “The title refers to the act of creating it itself as well as religious practices found in Hinduism, the repetitive practice of mantras and the flowers used in devotional ceremonies,” he says. Roper coincided the whole project with the three years it took him to finish his degree and he installed the piece as part of his final degree show.

An interesting concept from Anna Utopia Giordano using 'children's brands' for alcohol products. The designs may raise many controversial issues, however i appreciate the brilliant design fit and humour involved- think outside the box, or bottle in this case...

Another Re-blog from design cloud. I found this particularly interesting because it illustrates just how straight-forward and simple it is to produce an effective layout using typography and is definitely influential for my future projects.
designcloud: Ten ideas to live by Alder Dog Design idea belongs to Anthony Neil Dart. His project is an example of excellent design, copy it was a good experience for me. In this project I tried to refine and improve the original idea using the same techniques.

I found this piece whilst looking up PS tutorials. I really love the colours and movement used and find the design very unique. Someday i wish to achieve a design to this standard

Sachplakat

When researching design ideas for my brief, i stumbled upon the design technique-Sachplakat.
Sachplakat, meaning (object poster) is a German invention founded by Lucian Bernhard in 1906 as a reaction to the excesses of Art Nouveau.
"Sachplakat is the reduction of a selling message to a minimum number of elements—usually the product, a logo or trademark, and a bold line(s) of type, often in hand-drawn block letters." -http://www.chroniclebooks.com/landing-pages/Chronicle/excerpt/0811823083-e1.html

A Re-blog from Designcloud. I love how simplistic and effective this piece is using everyday household objects. Just goes to show anything can be used in design.
