Max-O-Matic

Ever since Art Foundation i've been really interested in the work of a Graphic Designer in Barcelona called Maximo Tuja. I love how you can see all the texture on the characters and nothing on the background. He's done a whole series of posters and prints which are all based on the things that inspire him, " i don´t know exactly what they are and where they can be found. Inspiration=nonsense?"

Second Year Begins

So its been a good few months since i last updated this, but second year has begun, and first term is almost over. This term has mainly been focused on Visual Systems and Preparation for practice. 

Within Visual systems there were 3 projects, the first laying out and creating a system out of text based on Slumdog Millionaire. I chose only the text that spoke about the film itself, and stayed away from any text talking about the issues and consequences of the film. I just wanted to keep my design clean and simple with no emphasis on poverty etc, as i figured that would be pretty popular. For some reasons its the wrong way round, should be 90 anti clockwise:

I originally had a beige background but it didnt really fit in with keeping everything clean and simple, white was much crisper. For the text i had to rotate each line by 4 degrees. I used a circle text wrap and inverted it, to be able to keep the text exactly in the shape.
