I recently had the opportunity to design a poster for classical music, welcoming home astronauts back from the Russian space station. I was very honored to have been asked to design this and it was very fun project. </div>

The two sketches above are the initial ideas that I sent to the client based on the brief, which needed to take inspiration from Yu A Gagarin Research Centre's website while also showing some of the performers on the night. </div>

It was also interesting to be working in Russian (a language I know nothing about) which meant I had to spend time looking for fonts that supported Cyrillic characters. I eventually chose bold Intro to contrast with the delicate and classical Lora. </div>

It's been a while since I've written about anything, but being in a different city does somehow consume your life. So to self-celebrate (of how Gen-Y of me!) my return from month-long absence, here is a collection of floral photos to mark the glorious arrival of Spring.<br />

Last week, for the first time in over a year, I went to a life drawing session. It felt so nice to be able to not think but be mentally stimulated at the same time. It was liberating to be able to do your own thing amongst other people who needed to do their own thing and then walk around seeing everyone's personal style and interpretations of the models. I'm completely fascinated by the way the human body ripples and tenses and is so vulnerable and confident at the same time.<br />
<br />
Above is a selection of drawings I made in the session.<br />
<br />
Oh and there was free pizza. </div>

Absolutely in love with these poignant and beautifully crafted photographs from <a href="http://www.rawcolor.nl/project/?id=283&type=ownProduction">Raw Colou</a>r for Sight Unseen. The way that the elements balance delicately against is each other creates an unlikely tension. </div>

Remember the time when Uniqlo hacked Pinterest to create an amazing scrolling animation of their products? Well, this time, they've created a hair tools page to compliment their products - WITH GIFS. I've been mentioning gifs a lot lately, but this is a just a great way to show some simple steps. It makes it a very interesting brand to watch on the digital sphere.<br />

For a brand that has had such a distinct image and playful image with its bottle shape, redesigning the packaging is a pretty big move. So to take an abstract and artistic interpretation of the flavours is actually quite in line with their brand image. And the results pay off with colourful designs with lots of personality.<br />
<br />
Never have I seen such extensive and fun process!<br />

I don't know how long this site has been up, but I would like to think that this was designed especially for me. Escape Flight is PERFECT. This is truly a great idea. Right now for me, I'm just happy to go anywhere within a certain budget.<br />
<br />
AND it has great photography, big friendly type and enough yellow to tap into the Expedia aesthetic but also be supercool. I also like the running mail ants hover. (I don't know how else to describe it)</div>

It's not often that you see ads for this industry and especially one that is so beautifully crafted. I love the way the layers build upon each other and the translucency reminds us of how fragile life is. There are elements in this that are just very Japanese.<br />
<br />
I don't know if this diminshes the work, but it reminds me of the album cover of Ben Lee's <i>Awake is the New Sleep</i>, which is one of the most positive albums I've ever listened to. He did write those songs after a spiritual trip to India.<br />

Upon finishing a day of work, I (you know, just casually) waltzed into the opening of the Seijero Niwa exhibition in East London. There were several sets of freakish dolls with perspex tubes coming out of their eyes. This would give me nightmares if they were in my house but are so cool when they sit on a shiny surface.</div>

Last weekend, I went to the Pick Me Up festival. With every exhibtion that I've seen in London, I'm always blown away with the scale of it and I don't know why considering I am in one of the biggest creative cities in the world. I think there is an understated-ness that comes with being English. </div>

My phone died that weekend, so I couldn't take any photos of the event. There are so many talented people but my favourite artist of the day was <a href="http://www.sarahvanbelle.be/Pick-Me-Up">Sarah Vanbelle</a>. I love the unusual red/green combination of her prints (how did she manage to make it look non-Chistmassy) and the retro graphical quality of her work. </div>

One of most remarkable things about London is the ease in getting around. Public transport is plentiful and reliable if overcrowded at peak hour times, and reaches all areas of London. I have yet to have ever wait more than 10mins for a train or bus and this includes late at night. It may be strange to be writing about public transport as being one of the most impressive things, but if you've ever lived in Sydney, you would understand. </div>

What has also made getting around London really easy, is their maps which are located almost everywhere around important parts of London. It shows you which direction you're walking in and what is available within a 5 min walking radius. Design details which means you never feel completely lost. I have yet to be in a city which does this so well. </div>

Not quite the USA Today make-over I thought was going to happen.<br />

However, it is interesting to see the changes over the years, and how design and journalism adapts to how people access news.<br />

While I like how the new website is less cluttered (white space!), I all feels it's a bit static (why is there no slideshow?) for a site that shows top breaking stories.fringehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228667414603798879noreply@blogger.com0
