A to Aardvark

Well I've been playing around with a collection of bits and pieces and the beginning stages (from A to Aardvark as the James Murray might say) are starting to come together so thought I'd share a little online.

Still trying to refine what I'm doing and work on how the various elements I have planned will fit together best but heres a sneak peek.

Final project research

So I'm working on my final project of my Graphic Design degree and I've come across some great stuff ng the way while researching.

The project is about the dictionary, and about giving as much time and effort to those words that don't make it, these 'non words', as was given to those words that did.

To really express this I am in the process of creating a small dictionary of 'non words' that I plan to print using letterpress and screenprinting, something that I felt was fitting given that much like these non words if these old processes aren't used then they will be forgotten forever. So here are some of the nicest bits I've found while doing this project;

Ravensbournes new logo

My attention has recently been drawn to the new Ravensbourne branding, on the whole I like it, it's stayed nice and clean and the 'cut' boxes used throughout look pretty good. However they seem to have completely forgotten about the logo.

It's a real shame, the Uni is moving into a brand new building with and is looking like it was going to launch itself with a bit of a bang until this. Hopefully they'll rework the logo into something that does the rest of the brand and the Uni justice. Until then we'll have to make do with the parodies - Check out the facebook group
