What is Design for Screen?

an ongoing investigation of design for digital media, exploring a broad range of contemporary design practice, in order to establish an informed understanding of my own opinions and preferences.

so basically, I'll be researching a load of screen-based designs to hopefully enable me to gain better ideas when producing my own work.

This is also alongside other research more directly aimed at various briefs, which will have a much more specific purpose.

shinybinary

some wicked digital typography that honestly seem impossible to do right now but hopefully some day I might be able to produce stuff like this.

Why not

Go play

Fresh science word

i've never really been the biggest fan of ultra-digitalised work but im getting more and more into it....i guess it's the kinda thing that once you know how to do it, you could produce one of these daily. it still looks a little too virtual for my liking however...

a few logos.

some cool logo designs by Give Up Art. I'm hoping they will help in some way with our group project What If.....as me and Max have begun messing around in Illustrator to come up with some potential solutions for type/logos for the final product.















each one has subtle hints towards what they are representing, whether it's a result of the typeface, shape or colour....and work really well for their purpose.

adidas special editions....





special edition adidas/dublin shoes and matching tracksuit for size? i think it was. not sure about the matching tracksuit but the shoes are absolutely fresh......it's all the smaller details that count here though.....probably why they only made 500 and now they're sold out. shame. these were the best ones to be honest, except for maybe glasgow:
