Lately i have been right into vector design, and ive been looking around at the cool stuff people have been creating and chucking up on the net.
I found this cool website that allows users to put their pieces up on the internet, and it also allows other users to download the illustrator files, and use or learn from them. It is a great way to learn how to do vector design.
The website is Vecteezy! You can find it at: http://www.vecteezy.com/

Most Incredible/Ridiculous Instrument Ever
Well, this video introduces an instrument which is similar to a pipe organ... only 10 times smaller and 1000 times more confusing to use! The man in this video obviously knows how the instrument works, and he is either a genius... or an idiot.. maybe both?
Either way, this is a BAD Design!
3rd Main Project - Pullins Ski Hire
After doing some in depth research on the culture of snowboarding, i have found that a large amount of skateboarders, surfers and even musicians take snowboarding as a hobby or even professional sport.
A prime example is Shaun White, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_White). He is notable for competing in the X Games, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Games), in the skateboarding and also snowboarding events, while also winning gold at the Olympics for snowboarding.
Taking all this into account, i have taken into consideration the design and culture that hobbies and sports have originated from. Their design and culture in ways, has many common links such as: design, music styles & attitudes.
I will be taking in consideration the designs and cultural backing in my design for the Pullins Ski Hire Website.
Concept Presentation #2 - Personal Reflection
After our presentation today, Mark and Troy were happy with our presentations and the current situation Root Negative One are at ....except.... they had one issue with our project:
- Inconsistency with the four different groups.
We are having a meeting at 1pm this afternoon to clear up any confusions with the project, and to ensure that all our pieces of work are consistent among all four teams. The basic style guide is now available for each of the groups to download and implement.
