This is the name (and abbreviation) I have decided to use for my final major project. The abbreviation "ISANS" occurred through a nice accident of just brainstorming different names I could give my system. So where am I at within my project? Well I have managed to finish off the majority of my symbols, leaving out only... Continue Reading →
Transport Icons – Second Generation
Hey guys, just a small update as to what I've been up to. I'm still heavily working on my icon design, today I decided to focus on the transport ones, instead of dotting around all over the place.

Unity – Experimental Poster Typeface
I designed this typeface for a university project 2 years ago. It never really got used and got left at the far reaches of my hard drive. I have since revisited it and improved upon it. I also decided that I would try my hand at presenting it in a certain style as a way... Continue Reading →
Critical Reflection Session 2
Today I had my second critical reflection, this time with a different set of design colleagues. I decided that instead of showing any A3 sheets with already developed icons on them, I would show my sketch book and the full development phase that I went through. There was a mixture of positive and negative comments... Continue Reading →

So armed... Continue Reading →

I'd say the two hardest things within this semester were; firstly getting the initial proposal started... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 19
Today, although focusing mainly on my essay work, I had a couple of ideas that jumped into my mind that I quickly wrote down in my book. I then developed them further when i got home. They were more to do with layout as opposed to anything else. With inspiration being taken from Schiphol airport... Continue Reading →

Again, today was just working on my essay, as it will be for the next couple of weeks. Although yesterday I did receive the brief for the next practical module. The brief basically begins the next module, because I had already written my own brief for the module. It will be interesting to get started... Continue Reading →
