One for you print heads courtesy of @workform this website let’s you preview special palette mixes of neons, metallics, special colours and experiment with quad/tri/duo tones and more. colorlibrary.ch ... Color Library is a database of color profiles for artists, designers, photographers, and printers who are looking for a novel yet professional color management solution. Color Library offers a large variety of color combinations, from basic colors to metallics, neons, and pastels. Color Library was created within the Workflow research and development project. It was launched in 2014 during a workshop held at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne with Franz Sigg (RIT/Rochester Institute of Technology) and Maximage. Initially developed for experimental purposes, the project was extended in order to create an online platform for development and distribution. This nonprofit website has a dual objective: to distribute an innovative tool for artists, designers, and printers, and to make students aware of color theory and color management. All income from Color Library is reinvested in research and development. Workflow is a research project at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne on printing technologies, led by David Keshavjee, Guy Meldem, Tatiana Rihs and Julien Tavelli (Maximage) and funded by HES-SO/University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland.

More fun in the dark in the @chelseaual banqueting hall in the dark this week - the latest discovery is a bunch of lights in a clear plastic bag flung around your head - who needs Cinema 4D when you can do all this in-camera!

@apwotmag A Profound Waste of Time is now out! You may remember this is the brainchild (and FMP) of BAGDC’s @cazwis who raised £40k on Kickstarter to fund this 180 page tome to videogame culture. This is amazing Cas we are so happy you made it to the end and to have been part of your journey. Great to see your team includes graphic design by fellow @ual_alumni @harrisondew A Profound Waste of Time is a new independent magazine that celebrates games as an art form. Each issue plays host to a rich variety of voices from inside and outside the videogame industry, interwoven with stunning imagery from leading illustrators and artists. Editorially discerning and beautifully designed, the magazine serves to celebrate gaming culture and discussion

I want to talk about the power of failure. We are all failures and proud to be failures. Some have been minor, correctable, adjustable – a spill of paint on white canvas – others unmitigated disasters – a wiped clean hard-drive. Your head is in your hands, you're hungover, 4 dodgy canteen coffees down and you know you've got 48 hours to pull together something that your grandma will tell all her friends about. And then someone will come up to you and say “oh you'll be fine.” You won't be. You're screwed. Its in these moments that I start to think about Kate Winslet. Beautiful, successful, accomplished in her own right with a string of well made films. And then she stood. On the front of a boat. With Celine wailing and the wind billowing through her hair and making it a bit salty and frizzy. And I think about that iceberg and how little Kate really knows. How little she's really lived and whether she ever knew real love. But Kate survived. Failure is my iceberg. It scares me less the more I repeatedly plough into it with or without DiCaprio. But like Kate I'll live. It's a great privilege for us to be able to fail as often as we have. And where better to fail than Chelsea. It's a place where failure is celebrated - only through making mistakes can we learn, progress and further our work. But I want to thank those who have watched us and helped us fail and peeled us off the studio floors when we've had our meltdowns. To the technicians whose knowledge and dedication has put us back on course, averting chaotic collisions. To the tutor's whose tireless drive and direction has flung the preverbal lifeline, not always a lifeboat, sometimes just some swimming instructions. And finally to the parents, friends and families who've supported us emotionally and sometimes financially to achieve such depths of failure. You have all been a part of the extraordinary achievements that you have seen graduate today and we owe you a huge debt of thanks. Where we all go from here is varied and, in some cases uncertain. But if we're lucky we will continue to fail, spectacularly, excitingly and creatively. @millie.gray_ @chelseaual @unioftheartslondon

#Repost @p3exp ・・・ Listen ‼️ The time has finally come for me to make one of these long paragraph tings. Listen, before I get onto talks about my family and perseverance and all that good stuff deya. Lemme commend my G of G’s @blackinkexp . As rinsed as it might sound, we literally had people tell us to our faces that ‘This course isn’t for you’, and we stood our ground and said nah b, I’m hungry for more and look at us. At the beginning of second year we sat down and realised that at UAL Chelsea, it was just the two of us (young&black) men and we had to pull our thumbs out of our asses and get the accolades we deserved even if we had to drag one another into lectures. On some deeper stuff, there haven’t been too many moments in this life so far for me to sit back and understand that I’ve actually done good. Me and my G have reached that first milestone in life and I’m sure for those that know me that there’s plenty more in the locker. Mans gonna have to give a shout out to my Mum and Dad because they instilled that REAL drive and determination in me to go forth and be the head and never the tails in all my endeavours. Before I even sound like a snake, shout out to Peter and @referencebank in second year for taking the time to actually understand me as a human being and push me to do better at a point where I was ready to give up on the art world and this whole industry, you guys don’t know the impact you’ve had on my life! Kmt, before I start to waffle now. Lemme just say, more life and more success. If you’re in first or second year and you’re bout to say fuck it all, hold on just one more day my g, trust me it’s all worth it. So onwards and upwards my people, mans got my seatbelt locked in tight for the bumpy ride. 2:1 BOYYYYYYYY! #youngblackandeducated ... @chelseaual
