I’ve probably only been seriously designing stuff since Year 11, when I started learning Visual Communication. I always loved to draw, colour in (like everyone else), and occasionally make logos for my friends and my own bands that I was in, but that’s pretty normal.
Today I was cleaning my room and I found this, something I’d obviouslly made for my dad’s work. I must of been 8 or something!
Who needs Indesign when you can staple photos to coloured paper, and misspell the copy in greylead pencil!
I’ve heard a lot of different theories, but this one seems to be the most succinct
this would be my dream job!
such a good album cover. i first saw it as the bg on kissy sell out’s myspace. now i know it’s a cd cover, thanks to my lecturer!
I’m not oscar the grouch (yet), but I know that commuting to the city will drive me batshit insane in a matter of weeks. Why don’t I live in Japan where the train is actually safe, and nice and fast and have bizzare but hillarious print ads?
maybe 2 are noteworthy, oregon? utah?
2. come up with zany, original art direction that relates to the copy.
3. Place product and/or copyline and logo in bottom right hand corner. ”
Am i right - is this how a lot of eyecatching print ads work?

Today I checked out the printed magazine. It’s printed on coated stock (which I didn’t want), but everything else looks fine. (minus a few typos) even the layout is ok, and i never printed proofs which is a massive no no in design. next issue will be way easier to make with this under my belt.
1. It may be slightly less wide - i measured a magazine in japan that was 250mm x 18mm and it just felt better+ i wont need to crop ads as much.
2. if i can get more ads and content it will be a bit thicker+more to read
3. Order less! Although this order was significantly less than last years mag, I think I could get away with 1000 copies for Caulfield. We’ll see. (people pass them around, leave them lying around.) This will mean an easier budget for us as well.
That’s about it. I hope people like it and want to put their own content in it. One day I want to put this motherfucker in an I-Pad!
