Interesting Publications

These are publications from university's when I went to 'new blood'. Was interesting to see how the different universities showed off there work. This is simple layout and typography but even the simple things get done wrong. I think its important that students get to design the university booklets because then you see what the standard of work is rather than the tutors standard of work. Much more worth while.

Lovely Graphic Design

I love this!

Layout, Grids, and Type

Came across some more information graphics and a few other things. Im really interested with dividers and grid sections, I'm not a particularly organized person but when it comes to visual communication and graphics there needs to be some order. I'm going to research it more but i've noticed there's a few tricks of the trade to section different bits of information, obviously its even more important in info graphics. Also these designs may have not been as aesthetically pleasing on screen but when printed onto this lovely paper its makes it really visually exciting.

Information Graphics

Information graphics has something that i've become increasingly interested in. I think it has a very miture quality to it and has a basis to it that is deeper than the aesthetics of it. I really enjoy the grids and big and small scales of type. Also appreciate where they have chosen to use lines to section different bits of information. You have to appreciate that usually information like this is produced in word or powerpoint and is incredibly hard to find interesting and in-gauge with.

Information graphics has a huge amount of applications for use, and obviously is a useful tool. Information graphics will also teach me to handle and structure large amounts of data which is useful to implement with just simple design task such as book layout and posters.
