Week 37 – Bomb the Music Industry

Task

Your favourite band/artist is touring, and you need to design a poster for them. Hurray! I’m leaving this fairly open, just to leave your imagination run wild. Next week we’ll have a more specific one.

Inspiration

Week 37-01-01

They’re an east coast DIY band, often labeled as skacore, who tour like madmen. I thought this kind of schedule would fit their, “we’ll play in your local rotary club’s basement” attitude. The poster itself is pretty straightforward, except for the lettering in the bomb which was hand drawn.

Week 36 – Corn Flakes

Task

Hello Designers,

In this challenge we will redesign a product you like, but with a twist! Spring is coming and in your challenge, your main colour HAS to be one of the following:

  • Spring Red – #e84035
  • Violet – #b89dc6
  • Light Green – #bed056

Let me explain. Perhaps, I really like Kellogg’s cornflakes, this is what it looks like now [1] . In the challenge I would create a new look for Kellog’s using these spring colours. This does NOT mean that you have to create a new logo, but you could create a new cornflakes design package that features one (or more) of these colours. Keep in mind shades of white and black are allowed too.

Basically anything that you use would work, be creative with it!

Cheers,

Cryptonaut

week 36-01

I decided to stay literal and go for a corn flakes box redesign. Straightforward, bold and it uses all three colors. I’d love to hear your thoughts and thanks for reading.

Resume Update

Being a graphic designer the resume is a constant source of trouble for me. I’m torn between creating a flashy resume that hints at my design aesthetic and one the HR rep will actually keep.  I recently updated mine, changing the layout to better show my expanding work experience and making it more in line with a normal resume so it doesn’t get trashed on a gut reaction.

I’d love to hear your thoughts/critiques.

Week 35 – To Do List

Task

This week’s challenge is to design a calendar widget. It may be for any platform (Think: Android widget / Windows 8 Panel / Windows 7 “Widget” etc) and may have any theme you wish. You can make it so that it displays a month, or a week, or it displays the upcoming appointments etc.

Here is some inspiration:

Screen 1-01-01

I’m terrible at using the calendar on my phone, so I chose a mobile setting for the challenge this week. I do really like making lists and especially like seeing as much info as possible like you typically would on a whiteboard. So with those things in mind I started mocking up a mobile weekly calendar. While it doesn’t harness the chaos and potential scannability of a huge whiteboard, I like the idea of being able to flip day to day and have on going stuff always there so you don’t forget about it.

What Ever Happened To “5 on Fridays”

The tens of thousands you that read this blog clamored for an answer, so here it is. I started posting links to designs and inspirational works on Fridays as a way to show readers what I like and where I get my influences.  Over the past few weeks I noticed less and less people were checking those links out and Friday posts less popular than original content.  Because of that, and because I finally started using tumblr regularly, I’m cutting the blog back to only original work. If you are still interested in what I find interesting, engaging, inspiring and funny on the internet follow my tumblr.

Here’s a preview of the kind of high quality content you’ll find:

Cool+bears+don´t+look+at+explosions.+bad+ass+Koala+small+I_fc4d51_4180333

As always thanks for reading and keep on the lookout for updates in the coming weeks.
