The trip back home was quite nice, after 12 hours I actually managed to finally be in my room, discovering how many stuff and junk I have lying around and remembering the vivid colours my walls are painted in. The first day was spent sleeping, while yesterday we already had great fun at Zemantas party [...]

So, university has finished, assessment days went by, presentations also and the Christmas break has started. So we went on a exhibition trip to London on Friday. A great exhibition called Breaking the Rules: The Printed Face of the European Avant Garde 1900 – 1937 at the British Library. Showing futuristic, dada movements, isms and [...]

We got a nice little poem in a box a few weeks ago from our great lecturer Phil Hawks. It was made mostly of something that you put into a thing so that you then contain it. A fun thing to read and the ending was – This is a design brief, design something. Don’t [...]

Vzameš svojo poljubno sliko, jo obdelaš, da ima čim manj sivin ter jo natisneš na črnobeli tiskalnik. Svojo sliko fotokopiraš na prozorno folijo. Nato vzameš sito katerega premažeš s foto občutljivo [...]

Danes smo imeli veliko počastitev saj je prišla na obisk predavati Naomi Games, hčer Abram Games-a (1914-1996), velikega Britanskega oblikovalca plakatov. Imeli smo odličen pogleda na stotine plakatov, ki jih je ustvaril njen oče. Bil je sin fotografa, a je kmalu zapustil šolo in se odločil, da bo postal najboljši oblikovalec plakatov. Oboževal je risanje [...]
