My first attempt at stop motion

PLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING.
This Project was to create something with type to evoke an emotion that relates to us personally.
I choose the words 'who cares'. Because as a teenager I was really angry and emotional and I use to say "who cares" a lot, but it wasn't until I did this assignment I realised I only said those words because I cared. The letters are made from wax which came from lighting a lot of candles in my teenage years and playing with the wax to make shapes.
The clip still needs a bit of editing which I am currently working on.

Stamp Design

These stamps were an assignment celebrating 125 years of art and design school in Wellington. I chose to focus mine through famous type designers who went through the school with a hand drawn aesthetic to represent that they all hand draw their type.

Wellington's historic Cinemas

For this assignment we had to create a booklet showcasing three destinations in Wellington. I chose three cinemas that had a interesting historic story. The style I mixed an old feel in with a fresh look to encourage both old and young to visit the cinemas.

Australia needs our help

Throughout history Australia has constantly made bad decisions.

Firstly they forgot that their country lies across the tropics, which they continually complain that’s its too hot and dry.
They forgot how to spell New Zealand and instead miss-printed it as ‘Australasia”.

They forgot to breed a horse like Phar Lap, create a dessert like Pavlova and raise a kid like Russell Crowe.

They are likely to forget more without our help. So if you are a true New Zealander you will move to Australia and help them to make good decisions.

Where would Australia be without us?

The ANZAC’s would just be AAC, which doesn’t have nearly the same ring to it.

They would have stuck an extra star onto another countries flag and called it their own.

They would have to have found another country to steal celebrities, prized racehorses and dessert recipes from.

And they wouldn’t even have been able to claim that they indirectly won soccer.

Australia wouldn’t have anything without us.

If you are a true New Zealander you will help them.
Move to Australia.

 This assignment was extremely broad. We had to just chose something to sell, so I chose to sell the idea to move Australia to New Zealanders. I made it light and entertaining and relevant to kiwi's attitude to eagerly help out someone in need.

New Zealand Film Festival

In this assignment I learn't to use Dreamweaver to create a fully working website. I kept my design clean and simple to focus on trying to use dreamweaver.

Typography

For this assignment we had to design and hand draw our own typeface. It took many hours to hand draw every letter. The curved letters were the hardest.

Hemmingway Challenge

She said no. He didn't listen.

Two men. One gun. No witnesses.

The Hemmingway Challenge is to write a story in six words. Hemmingway considered that his six word story was his greatest work. It's harder than it looks.

How to Pick a Lock

This assignment was an introduction on how to use flash. I went for the grunge and dirty look along with animated graphics to visually explain the steps. 

Grahame Sydney

This assignment was for the Wellington city gallery. It features the artist, Grahame Sydney's work and an essay he wrote. I wanted to keep the style structured, clean and sophisticated to help reflect the content.

Writing in a banana with a biro

Writing on a banana is like doing something you know you shouldn't really be doing but you do it anyway.
It's like knocking down road cones that were neatly lined up.
It's like the need to touch something that says 'don't touch'.

It's the desire to rebel.
It's satisfying the urge.
It's writing on a banana.

Something you just have to do.

This brief we were given was pretty broad. We just had to describe what it was like to write on a banana.
