Nice bit of animation from Makoto Yabuki especially with the perfectly chosen music, though I’m not sure whether it was composed by him specifically for the video or not. Simple yet sweet.

Having just graduated from Brighton Uni and so taken part in GDI ’09, it makes sense that graphic designer Kirsty Hole has updated her website drastically with a completely new and ravashing design as well as nice new content from the areas of photography and graphic design including a nostalgic, rustic set of photos from a laundrette (shown).

The response by graphic design graduates Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth to the D&AD Student Awards brief set by Hewlett Packard.
The brief was to “present an idea which promotes HP Workstations ability to bring to life anything the creative mind can conceive.” The results of 6 weeks work are 8 perfectly synchronized “dancing” printers in a video that embodies the creativity sought through the brief.

Brighton graduate Sophie Aida has a nice style of painting which is very folksy and naive, with the little subjects taking on a new lease of life with their vibrant yet subtle hues and light-hearted scenes.

Taking place at the Rag Factory in London, Graphic Design and Illustration 2009 is an exhibition of graduates of Graphic Design and Illustration from the University of Brighton which will open to the public from the 3rd to the 6th of July. Just from taking a gander at the pieces showcased on the GDI ’09 website, I feel a bit despondent knowing I can’t get to the exhibition but I whole-heartedly encourage all those in or near London to take a look.

Pyrotechnics is a project by Rosemarie Fiore which exhibits the potential of fireworks as painting implements as well as what seems like a bit of fun. To create these ingenious firework drawings, Rosemarie Fiore sticks fireworks to a long pole and lets them off, which in turn gives a burst of saturated colour which she then pieces together to create abstract collages.
