Very nice work here from a well organised and sophisticated website by the agency Qubik

Showcase: Steve Bonner

Gary Neill suggested I post the link to Steve Bonner's website and blog. Lovey work, great typography and editorial - well worth making yourselves familiar with it all.

Hoxton Street Monster Supplies

Interesting work here - packaging the unpackagable and some correlation with the FDA1 Frankenstein brief - worth reading carefully.

Design the next H.E. Brochure

Last year, Tom and David ( Top Up ) designed the first H.E. brochure, specifically to promote courses such as ours. We will be needing a new one soon and the chance to design it is open to anyone ion FDA 1 or 2. Personally - I'd prefer a team, but you can put yourself forward if you wish.


It's a really important document and a great chance to get something for your portfolio that will be printed and distributed nationally and internationally. Quite fancy doing it myself.

Brilliant!!!

Emilio Gomariz made a font by just arranging 114 Photoshop files.

Each letter is composed by different files, from 1 file for I up to 9 files for X.

OS X has this feature where it remembers the position of window after minimizing and bringing it back to the front. Emilio used this to make this video of the 114.psd Type. Watch the video! ( from Today and Tomorrow )

John Stezaker

John Stezaker combines old photographs with postcards. Something useful for FDA1 who have a collage brief after the half term

Lovely work here including this project for the De La Warr Pavillion

Time For Change

'Time For Change' - the mental health charity and lobby group - have worked really hard this year to promote awareness and communication, and have really improved the quality of their visual offer. This is a really important subject and something that you should all take time to think about - and understand the value of clear communication and a strong visual message.

Link to their site here showing some of their material - and their clever and thoughtful viral interactive video here.

2 years ago a 2nd year student became very involved with Amnesty International and developed material for her FMP around a specific campaign, this site shows you the breadth of material you need to get your message across. Material includes posters, leaflets and these beer mats and flashcards - designed to provoke communication.
