Myself and Paddy were recently presented with a brief to design a poster and set of tickets for a Burning Codes gig taking place in Stereo, Glasgow. Also on the bill is Robyn G. Shiels who is being featured in Cherry Bomb with the song “Hello Death” and Yahweh a very talented Glasgow band well worth checking out.
The theme was “Empathy” here’s what we came up with:
Poster Design
Ticket Design
The gig is being put on by Glasgow PodcART
This week Paddy and myself got involved with a little stop motion animation.
I’m stressed! I’ve made the classic mistake of biting of more than I can chew. With University, Work, Glasgow PodcART and various other design related commitments, I have a bit more than I can handle to say the least.
Instead of curling up into a ball and reaching for the nearest potent alcholoic drink (which in my financial situation is likely to be Tesco Value Vodka) I think I have found a way round it…
A few months ago I became increasingly frustrated by over reliance on Helvetica. We’ve all been there I’m sure, too many projects, time running out, just reach for Helvetica and add water, voila instant graphic design! There is an inherent problem with the font, it’s just too good. I mean there isn’t many instances I can think of were its use would look inappropriate.
For my own sanity and to broaden my horizons I made it my business to search out the five most practical alternatives to Helvetica. These examples are purely my opinion and in no way am I saying that they are as good as or as versatile as the legendary Helvetica.
