The Ferrari Magazine

At just under $400 for an annual subscription (free for Ferrari owners), this 180 page 330 x 220mm 

magazine is a fine piece of print and design.

I can't afford to pay $400 but the snippets of the magazine that are available have some interesting type and grid layouts with all black type and different imagery. I'm not too sure about the black type on the first spread gets lost as it creeps closer to the underside of the car.

In 2007 RISD graduate students pursued design research from an inspiring new angle, thanks to a partnership between RISD and Target Corporation. In a year-long studio course — the first all-graduate, strictly interdisciplinary offering at RISD — six students from different departments worked closely together and with Target's Innovation Team, defining and addressing consumer-oriented design challenges. This publication (7X9) is the documentation of that year-long studio. All photography and design done in collaboration withMelissa Lankhaar.

The graphic elements featured in this are similar to what we pitched for the art and design interdisciplinary year book but based upon the meeting we had today and pending the information we will be sent on thursday the graphic elements may be changed and experimented with as the number of people in the year book has increased.

Sophie Henson

Beautifully bright screen prints by Sophie Henson. I was initially drawn to the 3d posters as i'm working on producing my own 3d poster to enter into a lucky dip draw at the end of year show.

The three city prints are a wonderful set of :

Limited Edition of 25
3-colour silk screen print
270gsm colourplan paper
Signed and numbered 

Among her client list are big clothing labels Calvin Klein, Puma, Vans, Levis, Billabong and Stussy.

The  typography below reminds me of Stussy clothings signature type styles. And also has hints of Ralphsteadman.

Patrick Fry

Patrick Fry was part of the collaboration that produced the No. Zine.

He oversaw Design and art direction of a book celebrating 50 years of PYMCA photographs. 

The book was later recreated as an exhibition at The Royal Albert Hall. This book looks extremely well finished. I love the brightly coloured front cover and how that contrasts with the one colour print inside.

New York Times Remixed
Every day for four months I received the New York Times, read it and composed something from it that would fit into a seven by ten inch spiral bound journal. In doing so I was able to move away from the computer and let the project simply evolve on its own over time. The final outcome was a visual account of my response to news, culture, arts and fashion from that period.

------------------------------------

Over the last year or so i've done less and less drawing and experimenting with cutouts but this really grabbed my attention and gave me some direction for my design context publication in terms of a product to display my research and add some context to my work

Karl Toomey

Artwork to promote Synth Eastwood's Fast Forward show at Birmingham's Flatpack Festival. A video, flyers and posters were produced around the theme of Fast Forward. Video can be seen at link below (produced with Synth Eastwood)

Fast Forward With Synth Eastwood from Synth Eastwood on Vimeo.

Karl Tommey's website is filled with stunning work in a variate of media and style.

The poster/flyer above echoes Fred's point about there being more to life than A-format. This poster/flyer for the Film festival resembles a film reel and the type works perfectly on the reverse and everything is unified by the one colour print.

His small publication work is simple in its delivery and strong in aesthetic making use of the pink stock and monotone print for its pink cover.

The monotone imagery continues within the booklet with splashes of pink print and stock appearing just to add a little variety to the beautiful illustrations and mixed medias.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

His book cover work for this brief uses a metallic foil against a backdrop of black card and inside a one colour print consisting of varied page layouts and hand drawn illustrations.

I also wish i'd have found this when i was doing my blurb for the Faber and Faber brief. It would have come in handy. But i don't want to go back and touch any more of that brief as it would put me further behind schedule.
