visual storytelling

during the latest edition of the graphic design festival i have been asked to do a lecture (on thursday the 20th of sept.) about my design practice and this year’s theme: visual storytelling

amongst those also doing lectures alongside me are: ‘trapped in suburbia’, ‘sean freeman’ (UK), ‘peter orntoft’ (DK), ‘gorilla’, ‘autobahn’, ‘father futherback’ and ‘snask’ (SE)… all lectures will be given in english, now i just have to think of something / anything at all interesting to say… oops, coud be difficult

seeing as i really hate the term ‘next level’ i won’t use it, but these are certainly a pretty impressive set of ‘gif animations’ from artist patakk, enjoy…

rietveld 2012

i managed to visit the rietveld academy 2012 grad show late last week and as usual it wasn’t disappointing…. always a good crop and this year seemed somehow to be better than previous years in my opinion, lots of solid research behind projects and surprisingly in graphic design a lot more paper/book projects than usual even…

i spent some time talking to one of the photography students (above & below) in particular: ukranian ‘ola lanko’ who had some great projects… i’ll post more them and her later this week…
