I KNOW RAP MY MAN I MEAN HIP HOP

2008-02-24T14:52:00.000-08:00

this is an interactive kiosk thing i made last year. basically for the brief we had to make something educational for an audience that was also a flash game. so i made this, its got a brief history of hiop hop and a dj sampler. i cut up a bunch of music and made some loops and basically you lay down the bass line and then build over the top of that with the cut up samples. the dj sampler also has like hidden animations. oh and when you turn from page to page in the book the hand comes on and turns the page and then the new page animates. this was pretty intense and i ran out of time to focus on the typography and stuff on the pages next to the actual animating stuff.

front cover intro.

ok so this week has been crazy. i broke my record of amount of time spent working straight. i went 3 days without sleep + ate 1 cro-saunt (sic) + 4 fish fingers. its friday night, im waiting for the final movie to export so i can burn this presentation dvd + get it out of my life/face. i think i counted the total amount of sleep from monday til now to be around 6 hours??? BUT the main point of this is this.

heres my uh foundation for my folio site.

http://www.dirtydanceswithwolves.110mb.com/

i made this in 2 intense days last week. basically the images in the gallery section are just linked to open in new windows, when i get home im gonna use lightbox. also the multimedia stuff is just screenshots, im gonna put up the proper stuff later.

today our new lecturer (she started this semester) from germany asked for my autograph HAHA! i was like why? she said well yr gonna be famous right??? in yr band and as a designer??? townsville is hilarious. for the record i didnt sign anything.

2007-07-28T19:27:00.000-07:00

dude how long has it been since i have updated this blog/even done anything graphic design-y??? too long i guess. these last few months have been a total whirlwind + i dont wanna get cosmic BUT this period feels like its the start of a rebirth after my untimely DEATH!!! the holidays were so chaotic but SO good. nic + me made up 50 cdrs + packaging from scratch for axel rosie o'donnells next release which is a split with nics brother bens band red red krovvy who slay!!!!! i will post some photos of them when i get my hands on a few copies. ANYWAY so this is the beginning of 2007 part 2!!! i drew this yesterday + coloured it today. its for a band that i made up axe wounds to give me someone/a purpose to make stuff for.

hand model death

2007-05-08T22:43:00.000-07:00

im so sick of this whole "celebrity" thing that were living in at the moment where everything is about celebrity and everyone wants to be famous. and famous people on this whole superstar trip like "fuck yeah im famous bitch! im out of control man check me out!!! bad boy man!", so i drew this.

logo-a-go-go

2007-04-26T04:43:00.000-07:00

alright so these are some of the logos i made up during my work experience time. these ones are some of the bunch that i made up on the first day for my travel blog.com.au

the man didnt like any of those though, so i made up the new one, which you will see beneath here in the header i made for the website (also for some reason the main nav bar had to fade out??? it was like something to do with the scripting or style sheet or something... i dunno, programming is outta my league.)

and here are more logos i made for global domain link.com!

so yeah thats just some of the stuff i did last week. i will have more exciting stuff by the end of the weekend!!! i promise!!!

i dont need this corporation attitude

2007-04-11T22:41:00.000-07:00

im going home to cairns this afternoon so i figured i better put SOMETHING up because all next week im doing work experience i.e probably wont do much stuff (the place im working at asked me to come in at 8 a.m on monday!!! FUCKED!!!)

SO this is an assignment for uni ive been avoiding. its a corporate identity for north queensland tourism (we're not allowed to abbrieviate the name!!!) like logo + business cards + letterheads + livery. i hate doing corporate identities for dumb things like tourism. anyway so this is the car design i did last night.

i have better/more interesting stuff to put up but i need to get on a scanner, so like... in a week i'll put that stuff up.

career + career + career

2007-04-07T05:24:00.000-07:00

this is just the cover of my folio that we had to do for class, like a week ago.

its basically an A4 book thing with my bio + cv + some works. i got it printed on like glossy/heavy magazine stock and it turned out sick. it looks impressive in real life.

"i didnt realise you were such a good designer!" - natasha, as we recieved the prints from the printer a.k.a the best quote i have heard so far this year.
