Time and time again, I’ve heard of this project mentioned: Hackcessible. As someone who tinkers around with bits and pieces to make up for my lack of height when it comes to high shelves and other such obstacles, it seemed only natural that I would eventually stumble upon a project like this, but I never accessed their website to take a proper look until now.

Creative Classroom Motivation
Graphic design is one of those things that is so often thought of as something ‘some creative’ does on a computer. In fact, it is TOO often thought as that. If you’re a BuzzFeed addict you may have already come across this duo from Columbus College of Art, but they have got this Graphic Design ‘thing’ right.

IBM: Design-ward Ho!
IBM has always been at the forefront of technological advancement for the last century, but in its engineering and software focused company there has been a beautiful discovery. In the IBM archives small glimpses of gorgeous graphic design have been unveiled. Not only does this show us some interesting insight on the company’s past, but we can only expect more stunning graphic design work from the company as they are currently casting out a net to catch and recruit designers. Continue reading “IBM: Design-ward Ho!”
Back to Blogging
I must apologise profoundly for not being able to balance this when crunch time kicked in for my final year project. Fortunately, however, my equivalent of a dissertation (portfolio, technical report and research book) have all been handed in! Technically speaking, I’m no longer a student! Weird… Continue reading “Back to Blogging”
Ideas Bloom with Jimmy Dorrell
My one and only lecture this term that is running in juxtaposition with my final year project is Principles of Eco Design. The module consists of a combination of external lecturers, a live project and short projects to give us a well rounded understanding of sustainable design, but I’m not here to tell you what my course is all about, on the contrary, I’m here to tell you about things that really caught my eye. Things that I find particularly interesting and that, hopefully, you will too. This module’s first external lecturer was Jimmy Dorrell from Bloom and here is a little of what I learnt!

“From WHOA to meh” – Jonathan Chapman’s Inaugural Lecture
On Wednesday 22nd, I was fortunate enough to attend Jonathan Chapman’s inaugural lecture: Meaningful Stuff – Designing Longer-Lasting Material Experience at the University of Brighton. Yes, I mean THE Jonathan Chapman, author of Emotionally Durable Design. This prince of sustainable design gave an inspiring talk that made the audience laugh at his touching experiences and gasp in horror at the horrifically inefficient lives we lead. Let me share with you a little of what I learnt. Continue reading ““From WHOA to meh” – Jonathan Chapman’s Inaugural Lecture”

Graphic Design Annual 2014
Procrastinating isn’t an option any more, but for a bit of relaxation I indulged myself in purchasing “Graphic Design Annual 2014: The most inspiring design from the world’s leading creatives, Computer Arts Collection” magazine. Now, I’ve only flicked through it quickly, but the work in there is phenomenal! So much so that I’ve decided that I’m going to share some of it with you. Continue reading “Graphic Design Annual 2014”
