Cut It Out.

Had a quick glance over the YCN briefs & I’m very surprised to see a Graze one in there. I’m a bit of a fan of Graze & actually posted a blog entry about it this time last year: http://nicolaballprocon3.tumblr.com/post/1680695425/graze-ive-got-a-massive-thing-for-brown-paper

I absolutely love the box, it’s already very clever & feels very personalised already, so I am surprised they’ve opted to include a box redesign…in fact, I’m a little saddened by the news! I’m glad however they’ve decided to get themselves out there more, as their concept of healthy snacking (which you can personalise online) is brilliant & should be used more.

Personally, I’m really liking the sound of the Feel Good drinks one, I can imagine a lovely little motion piece for that…

By the way, excuse my poor drawings - I never professed to being a fantastic illustrator. 

You’ll probably read lots of these over the next few days, but here’s my two pence.

I wouldn’t be able to type this if it wasn’t for Steve Jobs. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy years of reliable, fast machinery if it wasn’t for Steve Jobs. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy music in my ears literally every day. Nor would I have been able to bear every journey on the peasant wagon if it wasn’t for Steve Jobs. I’m not a massive fan of the earphones, but hey, that can be forgiven.

56 really is no age. R.I.P Steve Jobs

I’m doing the European Type brief for my first of my final year! 

Decided to go with this because I felt it could be a really wacky, creative first brief where anything goes. My portfolio is lacking any sort of original created typography, so this brief will certainly contribute towards that. Hoping also to either feed it in to the recent dna ideas or just have the type as a signature type throughout my work.

Time to get crackin’ anyway! First motion class tomorrow!
